following up on a story we first brought you last night here on abc seven news. at 11. players and parents from an east bay youth football league were injured in an airboat crash in the florida everglades. now, tonight, new tonight. an interview you'll see only on seven. abc seven news reporter jr stone spoke with a pregnant mother who was on board that boat. >> the boat was wrecked. water was coming in. kids were screaming. blood everywhere, mud everywhere. >> althea wyndham is describing the tense moments after the airboat she was on with her seven year old son and his travel football team out of pittsburgh, crashed last friday in the florida everglades. >> this particular spot, it's very it's a curve. and so there was two boats coming like this. so we the moment we saw it, it was too late to even react. respond. and it was just the last thing i remember seeing was the boat. and i'm like, oh, we're going to crash. >> althea, who was airlifted to the hospital with a three year old, was one of at least 16

people hospitalized. everyone survived. >> when i woke up, children were in the water. i believe we were knocked out a few seconds. the other boat was on top of our boat. and it just took a while to kind of realize what was going on. another mother mother on our team floating in the water. and so we pulled her out. i started cpr on her. i then felt started to feel pain. and so i moved away and the captain of the boat took over and started performing cpr on her. >> althea, who is seven months pregnant, now has a broken tailbone and is out of work as a flight attendant for the foreseeable future. physically, her son aj is okay, but he's still a bit shaken up over what happened. >> he was screaming on the way back home thinking the plane was going to crash, and so he will need some therapy. >> it was scary at the same time of the other one, i would go on the boat, but not the airboat.

>> wyndham is concerned though, saying there were no safety warnings after getting on the boat and no seatbelts. >> i remember the other captain of the other boat distinctively saying i never took this route before. i never he just kept saying it repeatedly, just kind of made me upset that they don't have, like, safety protocols in place to make sure something like this doesn't happen. everyone should have routes. >> we did reach out to the airboat company with questions, but have not yet heard back. j.r stone, abc seven news. >> a lot of questions obviously still to be answered there. all right. here's a live look outside at the bay bridge toll plaza. the rain has moved out for now, but there is some murky fog out there. weather anchor spencer christian is here with the forecast. spencer. >> dan, we've got patches of fog out there and still some damp pavement. you probably saw it glistening there in that camera shot because of the rain that we have had. but as you can see on live doppler seven, it is not raining at the moment, but it's foggy enough out there, misty enough in some spots that it feels kind of damp if you're out

walking around. here's the satellite radar composite image showing that all that rain from earlier today has moved well to our east. so here's our forecast animation. going into the overnight hours, we'll see patches of clearing even with the development of patchy fog during the overnight hours. and by 9:00 tomorrow morning there will be some bright sunny spots. as well as that, whatever fog is left over starts to burn off. right now we're looking at temperature readings in the upper 40s to low 50s, so it's relatively mild. we don't expect it to get very chilly overnight. and these are our forecast headlines overnight. once again patchy fog mist and drizzle. tomorrow through friday we'll see bright skies a mix of a few clouds and lots of sunshine dry and milder. and the weekend will bring more rain. i'll have the complete accuweather seven day forecast in a few minutes. dan. >> all right. spencer. thanks. we'll check back in shortly. tonight we're learning about a cal fire battalion chief who was hurt in the rare tornado that struck scotts valley over the weekend. manny garcia was inside his battalion truck when it was thrown into the air and flipped, as you can see. bystanders helped break the front windshield so he could get out.

>> at that time, i looked around and noticed there was a more than five cars flipped over debris all over the roadway, power poles just leaning. and i'm thinking to myself, like, what just happened? like, we don't get tornadoes here, but this looks like a tornado. >> oh my god, we just don't see these kind of scenes in the bay area. his fire gear was thrown into the trees by the wind. luckily, he walked away with only some scrapes and bruises. the fire chief has given garcia some time off to rest up from this. obviously very strange and scary incident. well, the weekend storm also brought a lot of rain, which has wreaked havoc on some roads in the south bay particularly. abc seven news south bay reporter lauren martinez shows you the impact on drivers and on folks living there. >> a mixture of mud and debris from an unstable hillside in saratoga is once again closing a stretch of highway nine. on monday, caltrans decided to

close both directions from redwood gulch road to sanborn following the wet weekend weather. >> right now, what we're seeing is we're calling it soupy mud. it's very soupy. it's really hard for us to go out there and just get a bulldozer and scrape it up. we need to go in there, bring our crews in there to make sure we're able to clear out all that mud. >> caltrans will determine if it's safe to reopen the highway on wednesday. >> right now, we're just waiting to see. hopefully, everything can dry up. >> the same closure happened here last winter due to a mudslide. this hillside is an active project. caltrans crews have been working on since september to put in a new drainage system. >> also put in some new regrade the slope as well. just make sure that doesn't happen again. >> mountain charley road in the santa cruz mountains was closed for seven months this year following a massive landslide. it took out two roads, including a driveway that leads up to five homes. amanda watson lives in one of those homes. >> we just kind of in limbo waiting. just waiting and

hoping. >> nothing worse happens at the end of september. the county installed a temporary dirt road to connect mountain charley road, but said the private driveway is not their responsibility to fix. watson said they can't rebuild the driveway until the temporary road is completed. a timeline for that is vague. >> how long is it going to take for them to really support that road? because we were at their mercy, like, you know, they they hold all the cards as far as what we can do. >> county officials said the likelihood of losing this temporary road this winter is low, unless there's a repeat of the 2023 storm systems in the south bay. lauren martinez, abc seven news. >> in just the past hour, we've learned the smart train system will be back up and running tomorrow morning for the commute. storm damage in the north bay. shut down service yesterday. transit officials say downed trees blocked or damaged the train tracks in a number of spots. remember, you can track the rain any time you wish with the abc seven bay area app. it

gives you access to the same live doppler seven that spencer and the rest of our weather team use every day. we'll also send alerts with important updates to you as well. a san francisco jury has reached a verdict now in the high profile murder trial of high tech executive bob lee. the verdict will be read in court tomorrow at 930 in the morning. ahead of that announcement, abc seven news reporter tim johns spoke with several attorneys, and he shares the potential outcomes and what comes next. >> after a months long trial, a jury has finally reached a verdict in the stabbing death of cash app founder bob lee. tech consultant nima momeni, who is accused of murdering lee, will learn his fate at 930 tuesday morning. >> when you think that it took seven days to get to this point, it's not likely to be an all or nothing verdict. >> during the trial, his attorneys argued he stabbed lee in self-defense and that it was actually lee who first pulled a knife on momeni in a drug fueled rage. the prosecution arguing

the opposite, saying momeni targeted lee. they say momeni believed his sister had been drugged and sexually assaulted by a man lee had introduced to her. randall knox, an attorney who briefly represented balwani's mother, says the jury had a lot to consider. >> you start with, do people agree that it was premeditated and deliberate with malice aforethought? if 12 people don't agree to that, then they consider whether it's second degree murder, if they don't agree that he intended to kill him with that mental state, it could conceivably be reduced to voluntary manslaughter. >> abc seven news has been in court since the start of the trial. our reporters saying the testimony is given throughout the case were conflicting. legal analyst steven clark believes it could be his own testimony that could have ultimately swayed jurors. >> i think the big question for this jury is what did they think of mr. balwani's testimony? did they give him the benefit of the doubt? and how did that play into their verdict? >> while tuesday's verdict will end the trial, clark says there

will likely be more court appearances for momeni if he is convicted of any charge. >> what will happen next is about six weeks from now, there will be a sentencing hearing where both sides will present information to the court as to what is the appropriate sentence based on a number of factors. >> the trial initially began back in october, and the jury started their deliberations on december 4th in san francisco. tim johns, abc seven news. >> now, of course, tomorrow we will bring you the news of that verdict just as soon as it breaks. tune in here on abc seven or wherever you stream. all right. time now for the abc seven news advancer at 11. we'll give you a look ahead at some of the stories. you'll be hearing more about this week. first, luigi mangione may be extradited back to new york as early as tomorrow. that's the man accused, of course, of killing unitedhealthcare ceo brian thompson. sources tell abc news that mangione is almost certain to waive extradition from pennsylvania. over the weekend,

mangione added a high profile defense attorney to his legal team. she says a potential defense strategy would be to plead a case of not guilty due to insanity. it's a busy week ahead for president-elect donald trump. meetings with several business leaders are on the itinerary tomorrow. trump will meet with the ceos of tiktok and netflix at mar a lago in florida wednesday. he's expected to meet with amazon founder jeff bezos. the meeting with bezos comes amid a wall street journal report that amazon is planning to donate $1 million to trump's inaugural fund, and trump's meeting with bezos also comes as amazon workers plan to go on strike. thousands of workers in new york could walk off the job friday, adding more stress to the busy holiday shopping and shipping rush. the workers are asking for minimum pay of $30 per hour and more safety precautions. >> we need jobs that preserve our safety. we need a company that pays us a fair wage for the

important work that we do. >> the teamsters union says it gave amazon a deadline of december 15th to agree to bargaining dates for a union contract. in response to abc news requests for comment, an amazon spokesperson said, quote, for more than a year now, the teamsters have continued to intentionally mislead the public, claiming that they represent thousands of amazon employees and drivers. they don't. and this is another attempt to push a false narrative. that statement from amazon. all right. coming up here, a last ditch effort to save tiktok. the social media site is just weeks away from being banned in the united states. still ahead, the appeal to the highest court in the land she first stowed away on a delta airlines flight to france. now that same woman has been caught trying to flee the country using a different mode of transportation. we'll have that story. and east bay trash pandas to the rescue. the work a group of volunteers is doing to clean up an illegal dumping site, and who they want to hold

accountable for all of this garbage. those stories and a lot more coming up as we continue here. but first, here's a look ahead at what's coming up on jimmy kimmel live! right after abc seven news at 11. >> jimmy, watch tonight or you won't get anything this year. >> great thing that's still in me. even though i don't drink anymore, where i see an audience and i want to turn down and i just want to moon you.

night about that deadly school shooting in madison, wisconsin. the shooter was 15 year old female student at abundant life christian school. a student and a teacher were killed and six others were injured, two of them in critical condition. then,

authorities say the shooter turned the gun on herself. >> some of the older students were running across the parking lot to the church sanctuary, and then later on, very slowly, in a more orderly fashion. the younger students holding hands were let out to go across the parking lots to the sanctuary. >> police say it was a second grader who first called. 911. parents were rushed to a reunification site to look for their children. of course, they were terrified. other schools in the area were put on lockdown until police cleared every single room. the delta airlines stowaway has been arrested for a second time this month in an attempt to flee the country. law enforcement says svetlana dolly cut off her ankle monitor yesterday. her roommate saw it and reported her missing. dolly was caught on a greyhound bus headed to canada today. she had made it to buffalo from philadelphia. dolly was apprehended earlier this month after allegedly sneaking aboard a flight to france. tiktok is

now requesting the supreme court temporarily block a federal ban on that popular social media app. the appeals appeal rather calls on the high court to intervene in this battle between congress and the platform. the china based company is facing a january 19th deadline to sell or face a ban in the united states. the company and tiktok users say this ban violates the first amendment. if the court takes up this emergency appeal, the ban will be on hold until at least the court decides whether it will formally hear the case. the state superintendent is backing a bill to essentially keep immigration officials out of schools. it comes amid promises from president elect donald trump to rescind long term protections against deportation. the proposed bill is intended to safeguard student attendance and state funding in schools by protecting against immigration enforcement. >> the bill has been introduced today. the bill says that schools can't work with ice, and

ice can't be on campus, and the bill calls for a one mile radius around schools, recognizing that sometimes ice officials might be sort of lying in wait near campus. again, we don't want students to stay home. we don't want attendance to be suppressed. >> this bill has an urgency clause in it, meaning it could move quickly through the legislature, and if passed, it could take effect very rapidly, which is the point. all right. as part of our mission to build a better bay area, we are always happy to highlight our neighbors making a real difference. tonight we start in the east bay, where a group of community members, fed up with piles of trash thrown onto the side of the road, are banding together to do something about it. they've been working on grizzly peak road in the hills above berkeley. a group of more than 70 volunteers say they've been hard at work for more than a year now, working to clear more than 20 tons of trash. they call themselves the east bay trash pandas. >> this is 100% a team effort.

we had people, you know, elbow deep, shoulder deep into the poison oak yesterday. we want to put pressure on the landowners. you know, uc berkeley, this is your property. you're tasked with cleaning this area up. you've got to do the work. >> they're doing the work for the moment. the group says they've reached out to put pressure on berkeley, requesting that they be responsible for the neglected sites. we've reached out to uc berkeley for comment, but we have not yet heard back. a cherished tradition in half moon bay. a latino led nonprofit collaboration brought tamales and gifts from farm to farm, singing some festive music. one stop held particular significance to these volunteers. >> well, right now we are at the mushroom farm, which holds a very special place in our hearts and also holds a lot of pain as we know that this is where we lost our seven farmworkers to the mass shooting. and we were here one month before the tragedy. and so they are our first stop today, as always.

and, you know, they're very present with us today in this moment. all those that are not here and those that are here to remember and celebrate their life. >> each farm worker got a gift bag of essentials as well as toys for their kids. there was a menorah lighting ceremony in san francisco's castro district tonight. they had some speakers to mark the occasion, and people were able to light their own candles. people hung out to socialize and enjoy some musical performances as well. hanukkah does not begin until december 25th, but locals came to get a head start on their celebrations anyway. and why not make it a long festive holiday season? all right, we're going to get a break from the weather, which is nice. spencer christian is back with a forecast after a really intense weekend and heavy rain today. spencer. oh yeah. >> dan. we had some active weather, as we the weather business, but right now things are calm. as you can see on live doppler seven, the storm has ended, has moved well to our east. you can see the movement here on the satellite radar composite. so some of that

rain is moving into the sierra right now. the foothills. it's clearing out over in the central valley, and it's calming down here in the bay area, wind speeds are at about five miles per hour or lower across almost all of the bay area, and it's relatively mild compared to this time last night, about two three, four degrees warmer in most locations than at this time last night. right now, as we look across the embarcadero, where it was a bit foggy earlier. clearer right now. 51 degrees in san francisco and oakland. hayward 4850, in san jose 47. redwood city 52 at half moon bay. there's still a bit of lingering fog and mist at the golden gate, but it's not raining right now. 50 degrees in santa rosa. we have mid to upper 40s at petaluma, napa, fairfield, concord and livermore. one more live view at the approach to the bay bridge from the east bay. and these are our forecast headlines overnight. we'll see some areas of patchy fog, some mist, maybe some drizzle tomorrow through friday, bright skies and mainly sunny, but a few clouds will be around. it will be dry and milder as we get later into the week ahead, and the weekend will bring the beginning of winter, but it will also bring the

return of rainfall. but no more rainfall tonight. here's the forecast animation, showing clouds breaking up and giving us little areas of clearing as we go into the early morning hours. by 9:00 tomorrow morning, we should see abundant sunshine developing down to the south bay, if not in other locations as well. overnight, low temperatures will be mainly in the mid to upper 40s and then tomorrow's highs under mainly sunny afternoon skies. generally a narrow range of 60 to about 62 degrees in most locations. a bit milder down in the south bay, where we'll see highs of 64 at san jose and morgan hill, and a little bit cooler than the other locations over at antioch in the inland east bay, where highs will reach only about 58 degrees. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. notice how it gets milder and milder as we go into the middle of the week. sunnier skies on wednesday and thursday. high temperatures moving into the mid 60s around the bay, shoreline and inland. then on friday we'll have increasing clouds but no drop in the temperature range. it will still be mild and winter arrives on saturday, but so does our next round of rainfall. looks like moderate rain on saturday,
