Accident was on the freeway. Traffic investigators have been going back and forth between the two cars. One of them was a chp car that was destroyed by the impact. We have called them several times. They are not providing details on the officers conditions. Two officers have been injured. The conditions of the driver of the red car is not known. We do not know what led to the accident. We have confirmed that around 11 45 on Christmas Eve, the cars collided near winston avenue. It appears that the driver of the red car crash into the chp vehicle from behind. After that it went across the freeway and across the offramp. We called chp a few minutes ago, they said they would not provide updates on the investigation or those injured until a News Conference, plan this morning at 9 00, takes place. As it gets later in the morning and more cars get on the road, many people will wonder about the freeway closure. We are at 880 s. Near southland mall. Both cars are still here. It will be a while
Year. And unfortunately, this terrible thing happened on Christmas Eve, just before midnight. It is our understanding, from both the chp and the Alameda County sheriffs department, that his body will be taken to a local Memorial Chapel in tracy. At that point were told the family, the local church, both the officer and his wife were very active in the church. The Mission City Church west did speak with the past or there today. Arrangementes are being made by the family to lay this officer to rest. Unfortunately, the procession started just as were seeing rush hour traffic in oakland. It could take some time. Probe an hour or so before they arrive in tracy. All right. Thank you very much.

Dry, 22 out of 26 days have not seen a drop of rain. Only four days, the 2nd, the 3rd and 19th and 20th have we registered rain and i think using the word rain is pretty ambitious whether looking at the totals.
