Sunday night around 6:50 about 1,993 PECO customers lost power in West Philadelphia. The outage affected customers who live near West Girard and Belmont Avenue when a downed wire caused an equipment failure. Crews responded and restored power to most customers by 8pm.

A woman has died after a hit-and-run in Haddon Township, New Jersey on Sunday. A 67-year-old woman from Blackwood, NJ was crossing the highway to the bus stop across the street from the Audubon Commons Shopping Center ACME when she was stuck by a pickup truck that continued east on Rt. 30. She was taken to Cooper Medical Center where she later died. Police are looking at surveillance and say the truck may have been aqua in color. If you have any information on this incident, please call the Camden County Prosecutor's Office at 856-225-8400.

A young boy from Darby Township who was the victim of bullying has died today. Bailey O'Neill, who just turned 12, was in a medically induced coma having suffering seizures following his attack. O'Neill was jumped by two classmates during recess last January and suffered a broken nose. He began to suffer seizures the next day and was placed in a coma. He also had a blood transfusion after contracting pneumonia.

The Facebook support page read, â€œI would like to thank everyone who has prayed and supported Bailey and his family!! Bailey has been the strongest toughest boy I know. He has fought this battle long and hard. There just wasn't a way to fix this. I wish I could say he will get better but I can't. Bailey has gone to be with God today :( I love you Jina Risoldi with all my heart and I will help you through this. Bailey I love you!!! Please keep Baileys family in your prayers!!!â€

The two students who jumped O'Neill were suspended two days, but police have not decided if they would be criminally charged. They were investigating whether the injuries sustained in the fight caused the seizures. The investigation is on-going.
