PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — Flooding across the area has led to continued issues following heavy rain on Friday morning.<\/p>\n
Major interstates, such as the Blue Route, were backed up due to multiple crashes and flooded lanes that slowed traffic.<\/p>\n
Crews were seen hard at work trying to clear storm drains in the eastbound lanes of the Schuylkill Expressway before the Belmont Avenue exit.<\/p>\n
In Stanton, Delaware, the cleanup is underway after a tree snapped and fell on a truck.<\/p>\n
The driver tells Action News he had been inside the truck seconds before it happened.<\/p>\n
“I just checked the windows to make sure they were up, ” said Kevin Finch. “Walked inside and heard the crash.”<\/p>\n
And while the heavy rain has pushed off the coast, PennDOT says this is still a dangerous weather day, especially because of the forecasted winds and plunging temperatures coming later in the day.<\/p>\n
“I expect it to be a long night for crews,” said Brad Rudolph from PennDOT. “Hopefully, we dry out with those winds, and hopefully it kind of helps us. But with gusts up to 50 mph, a lot of things could go wrong.”<\/p>\n
