The Delaware River Port Authority is now investigating a fatal accident that took place on the PATCO high speed line. The crash happened around 4 pm at the Broadway station in Camden. Officials stated that one person was struck by the train and was killed on impact. PATCO officials say that they have suspended service in and out of the Broadway station for now to investigate.

A portion of Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan had to be evacuated after a suspicious package was found inside the building on Tuesday. The NYPD stated that the package was found at the entrance of the Nike Town Store inside of the building. Videos were taken of the evacuation by bystanders showing police telling bystanders to keep moving out of the building. The bomb squad arrived on the scene and was able to give the "all clear" after 5pm. The package ended up being a bag with toys in it. Trump was not in the Tower, however, as he is in Florida.

A tractor trailer burst into flames Tuesday morning at a gas station in the Lawncrest section of Philadelphia after it was involved in a crash. The crash happened on the 6300 block of Oxford Avenue near Levick Street before 6:30 am. Officials say the driver of the tractor-trailer hit a SUV before crashing into a Speedway gas station. The tractor-trailer just missed the gas pump and snapped a utility pole in half. The truck then burst into flames, but crews were able to arrive on scene and put out the fire as well as stop the flow of gasoline. The driver of the tractor-trailer was uninjured and the driver of the SUV was injured and taken to the hospital and is listed in stable condition. Police are still investigating the cause of the crash.
