The victims a husband and wife visiting from the fresno area. It happened at ofarrel and taylor right near union square. The rented tesla ran a red light, hit a mini cooper, which then plowed into the couple, killing the husband and critically injuring his wife.

San francisco supervisor matt haney is calling for changes including more time between when a light turns red and when the pedestrian walk sign turns on. What happened with this situation is that as soon as one went to red the other one goes to green and the result is that if someone is a little late and breaks the law and crosses the red theyre much more likely to hit somebody. We can change that across our neighborhoods right now. Last week a big rig driver hit and killed a man in the tenderloin. Supervisor haney and walk sf say theyre declaring the state of emergency.

Hes been a priest for 25 years. And this church in santa rosa is just the latest of eight in sthoema and mendocino counties where he has been in charge.

Oh, damn. You cant believe it, you know . Its unreal. Reporter some Church Members had not heard until we told them today. Others were in church when the bishops letter was read. The people i talked to were shocked but they also feel like i do, hes a good man and were all human.
