This accident on i235 at Martin Luther king parkway shut down a large portion of the eastbound lanes of the freeway earlier tonight. As you can see. A car veered off the road and became lodged under the overpass. Authorities say three people were hurt. But their injuries are not believed to be life threatening. The cause of the crash remains under investigation. The driver of a car involved in a deadly high speed crash in des moines this week is being held on 6hundred thousand dollars bond. Troy mure junior faces two counts of vehicular homicide. But one legal expert says he has a good chance of beating the charges. Aaron brilbeck has the story. Troy mure junior is charged with vehicular homicide by reckless driving; vehicular homicide by operating while intoxicated; and owi. Mure was driving monday morning with his girlfriend, 22year old scalicity perez. When he slammed into a tree. Killing perez. Mures mother says her son told her he was being chased by people in a gray cadillac who had flashed a gun at him. And thats what led to the crash. Mrs. Mure says her son had been receiving threats. That people thought he was tied to an unsolved murder earlier this month. On tuesday, Des Moines Police say they seized a gray cadillac in connection with the case. And officers say mures claims that he was being chased, quote, are a very real possibility. they should drop the charges and charge the people thats really responsible for what happened. Do you think thats gonna happen . Im praying that they will. They need to. defense attorney peter berger, who is not representing mure, says if mure was being chased, he could beat the charges with whats called a compulsion defense. now if hes driving a hundred Miles Per Hour to get away from the people with the gun, if thats what happened and if thats what the jury then he has a complete defense. Because hes been compelled to escape from serious injury. Now the drinking complicates it. because, berger says, the jury must decide whether the crash was caused by mure trying to escape the people chasing him. Or if mures alleged intoxication is to blame. does his driving while intoxicated cause the death of the passenger or was it the driving a hundred Miles Per Hour and hitting the tree to get away from the other people caused what happened . Its a very complicated jury question and if the jury believes he was compelled to escape from people with a gun than he would be acquitted. police stress, while they did impound the gray cadillac, they dont know for certain whether there was a chase. Perez leaves behind four children. Felony charges were filed today in another case of alleged drunk driving. 53 year old deanna gliem was booked into the polk county jail on four counts of vehicular homicide.

Most president ial candidates are taking a break from campaigning for the holidays. When they return to the campaign trail. There is one issue iowans want them to focus on. Channel 13s political director dave price has the numbers. Its the economy, stupid. Remember, thats the line made famous back in 1992. Bill Clintons Campaign used that line to make president George H Bush seem out of touch on the everyday issues of everyday americans. Today, it still seems true. Its the economy, stupid. Our whotv iow6a State University poll found no other issues more important to likely caucusgoers right now. But we wanted to dig deeper into the numbers. Heres what we found. Men seem more concerned about the economy than women. 28 percent of men picked the economy as their top issue about 18 percent of women did. Something surprised us on the economy issue. Thats when you look at peoples views on it based on the amount of money they make. Those making under 25,000. The poorest of the iowans sampled. They cited the economy as their top issue less than other income groups. 17 percent of iowans in that group picked the economy as their top issue. The income group that chose the economy the most. Those are people who make between 25 and 50,000 dollars. That is the income level where the median iowa household falls. Theres only one poll sports fans are paying attention to right. And it has the hawkeyes in the College Football playoffs. Staying there hinges on a win this friday. Later in sports. Why the hawks should be thankful their opponent is the nebraska cornhuskers. nat of fire detector its the warning thats suppose to save lives. But, will your smokealarms actually do the job. The surprise test. And how easy it is to a morning fire forced the evacuation of a West Des Moines apartment building. Investigators say it started in the kitchen of one of the and damage is estimated at 20 thousand dollars. Smoke alarms are the first line of defense in any house fire. But even those arent a sure thing. Especially when you have young kids in the house. Suzanne stratford has the story. Its about ten after 11 and were gonna be testing the smoke alarms to see if it wakes up the kids a simple test. Involving smoke alarms. Sleeping children. And a concerned dad. Anthony hyatt also happens to be a veteran parma firefighter 52. 20 i have seen some pretty bad things. 52. 30 where its too late, it has been pretty graphic at times. A house fires reported every 85 seconds in the us; claiming a life every few hours nobody ever believes its gonna happen to them so anthonys taught his sons 10 year old nicholas and 7 year old christopher to be prepared and react quickly. Within 4 minutes a fire doubles in size the smoke would start coming down the walls. And start filling the room so the first 4 are definitely the most critical but in the heat of the moment. Will the boys remember . i havent told them anything about this multiple cameras are set up to record the experiment honestly i think they may wake up when it goes off at least thats what im hoping they do how could anyone sleep through those earpiercing tones . incredibly, researchers at nationwide Childrens Hospital in columbus, ohio found the majority of Young Children dont wake up to conventional smoke alarms. Parma fire spokesman doug turner says, experts found biological differences between kids and adults 6 year olds through 12 year olds their sleep habits are different, they go the Smoke Detector doesnt wake that age group up as quickly. Once the boys have been asleep for a couple hours its time to start the test i have them sleep with their door closed because it buys them extra time. A solid wood door will last up to 20 minutes anthony says, they still should hear the very loud alarms; 1 right outside the bedroom. The high pitch alarms are deafening the clock ticking and nothing happens. For two full minutes. I had my girlfriend actually open the door to see if there was any movement and she said there wasnt the door stays open and nearly a minute later nicholas finally gets up but christopher never moves we were kind of freaked out about it for me it took way too long their results, while alarming are consistent with that research so whats a parent to do. Well fortunately those same studies found there children seem to respond better to thier parents voice. Recorded on new vocal smoke alarms. Like this. 96 of the children in the columbus Clinical Study were awakened by this type alarm. A very worried anthony couldnt wait to buy it and try it on his sons. 96 of the children in the columbus Clinical Study were awakened by this type alarm. A very worried anthony couldnt wait to buy it and try it on his sons. A week later we reran the test but this time with very different results nicholas actually woke up within a minute. So it was a lot better this time nicholas actually woke up within a minute. So it was a lot better this time even with the door closed i thought it was actually him but it wasnt so you just thought your dad was yelling at you . Yea i didnt even know he bought it which is why experts say it works although some children still sleep through it did you hear it . No christopher never did wake up, but because nicholas did if this had been a real emergency they couldve survived he went back in and woke his brother up definitely makes me feel more confident and more safe if something does happen like that the vocal alarm is more expensive. And we only found them online ranging in price from 35 to 150 dollars but anthony says its worth it you can actually tell them what you want them to do on the alarm i would recommend it. But anthony parents should never have a false sense of security. That nothing replaces practicing fire drills with your children. Its got to become habit forming. Im glad we went through this it was huge teaching moment even for myself no matter what type of fire alarm you have. You wont hear a thing with dead batteries. The National FireAssociation Says alarms should be tested monthly. And the all alarms should be replaced every ten years.
