Hazmat Cleanup; Rubik's Cube World Record VIDEO; New Boat House in Conshohocken

Hazmat crews are on the scene of a collision between a tractor trailer and a tanker truck in Lower Providence Township. The tractor trailer was carrying printing ink and supplies while the tanker was carrying sewage waste. The contents of both vehicles spilled onto S. Park Avenue located between Eagleville Road and Falcon Road. One of the trucks also caught on fire.

There is a new world record holder in our midst. A local teenager solved the Rubik's Cube in 5.25 seconds. 15-year-old Collins Burns is a freshman at Central Bucks West High School in Doylestown. This is the first time an American has held that record since 2006. And Burns demolished the old record of 5.55 seconds.

A brand new, riverfront boathouse opened Sunday thanks to the cooperation of arch-rival schools Malvern Prep and the Haverford School along with the borough of Conshohocken. Thanks to a new nonprofit venture, there is a home for two of the most storied high school rowing programs in the nation, and will give borough children and adults access to the river and rowing. The borough provided the land, just behind the Riverwalk at Millennium Apartments off Cherry Street, under a long-term lease for $1 a year. Through fund-raising, Haverford and Malvern paid for the $4 million, two-story building. Coaches from both schools will teach borough kids and residents who want to learn to row and compete beginning this summer. Their high school rowers will assist as a community service.
