Good morning in the news this morning.

A suspect accused of sealing a car last week in New Jersey

is now in custody after a carjacking and a police chase that happened on Monday night in Philadelphia.

The suspect reportedly went to the dealership and asked to test drive the vehicle. That's when

police say the suspect pointed a gun at the salesman and told him to get out of the car. The suspect

was able to get away until he was spotted at about 8 p.m. Monday in the East Oak Lane

section of Philadelphia. A police chase ensued and a police helicopter began tracking the Kia

Sorrento from the air. They say the driver would not pull over. Philadelphia police say the

suspect rear-ended a Lexus in the area of Crescentville Road in Adams Avenue and Lawn Crest. He then

pulled the female driver out of the Lexus and drove away in her vehicle.

When the Lexus was going south on the 5,700 block of Tabor Avenue, police say it hit another vehicle, which was going north and then crashed into a parked car.

Police say the suspect got out and started running on Brill Street. Officers chased him on foot and were able to apprehend him.

No serious injuries were reported.

The flight medic aboard an ill-fated helicopter that crashed in Drexel Hill told federal

investigators that he and the flight nurse were pinned to the ceiling when a loud bang

caused the chopper to barrel roll as it plummeted from the sky.

Wow.

The National Transportation Safety Board on Monday released a report that detailed the moments the Eurocopter EC 135 with four aboard fell from the sky in suburban Philadelphia while en route to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

The four-page report contains an onboard account from the flight medic and several witnesses on the ground.
