Human remains were found as workers were digging a swimming pool in South Jersey on Monday. Crews were shoveling out a hole in a backyard on the 600 block of Banks Street in Riverton, Burlington County when they discovered the skeleton. The Burlington County Prosecutor's office was called in to investigate as well as a forensic anthropologist from the New Jersey State Police. They believe that the remains could be over 100 years old and there is no indication of foul play. The anthropologist will examine the remains to determine if it was a man or woman and what may have happened to them.

A water main break in far Northeast Philadelphia Tuesday forced the closure of a busy road. The Philadelphia Water Department responded to the scene around 1 p.m. Southampton Road was closed from the Roosevelt Boulevard to McNulty both directions. A 12-inch main broke and flooded the road. PWD shut down the water. After examining the damage they determined the road will remain closed until further notice.
