'Unexpected': Tire slams into windshield of Pennsylvania police cruiser

SPRING TOWNSHIP, Pa. - Police in Pennsylvania were astounded by a scene that was caught on camera while monitoring traffic on Monday.While police were monitoring the traffic on the 1300 block of Zion Road, officers were "caught by surprise" when a pickup truck traveling west lost a tire. The tire traveled a distance before striking the patrol car unit that officers were sitting in. Police say the tire then launched into the air and off to the opposite side of the road, which they say was fortunate because it could have traveled into the opposite lane and struck a moving vehicle. While the police cruiser suffered some extensive damage, according to authorities, both officers and the driver of the truck were not injured. ___DOWNLOAD: FOX 29 NEWS APP | FOX 29 WEATHER AUTHORITY APPSUBSCRIBE: Good Day Digest Newsletter | FOX 29 Philly on YouTubeAdvertisementFOLLOW: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter

(Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images) PHILADELPHIA - The Philadelphia 76ers will formally introduce James Harden to the media and fans on Tuesday.The team will be hosting an introductory press conference at their Camden, New Jersey training complex at noon to introduce Harden and veteran forward Paul Millsap. Both players were acquired ahead of last week’s trade deadline in a deal with the Brooklyn Nets that sent Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond, and two first-round picks to the Nets. You can watch their introductory press conference live on FOX 29 and FOX29.com. While Curry and Drummond made their Nets debut on Monday night – with Simmons in attendance on the bench – Harden is not expected to take the court for the Sixers until after the upcoming All-Star break. The Sixers are still eager to test out the partnership between Harden, a 32-year-old former MVP, and Joel Embiid. The 76ers are getting an MVP-worthy year out of Embiid, and team President Daryl Morey — who was in the front office with Houston when Harden played for the Rockets — made the deadline deal to ensure the Sixers have plenty for the championship push.Embiid leads the league in scoring with 29.4 points and has scored at least 25 points in 30 straight games.
