headed home. as her car got on to kiley boulevard from the bowling center's driveway, investigators say she got herself caught in the middle of a street race. one of the cars crashed into creager's honda and then smashed into a wooden fence. carlos gonzalez was the last person to say good night to ashley. >> i saw it over and over again in my head and just her leafing the building and just ten minutes later, everybody came running into the office, they let me know she was in a horrible accident. >> ashley was in the hospital suffering from major brain and heart injuries. she died this past sunday. >> ashley was a great person, always smiling, always happy, to see someone that young suffer that kind of fate is pretty saddening. >> prosecutors have charged these two men of vehicular manslaughter. they say both men were driving 70 miles an hour in a 35 zone. racing to get to this nearby chicken restaurant. >> it just didn't make sense.

wrap up the weekend. you saw there on the radar, we have some light showers. snow left pretty high, up close to 8,000 feet for the afternoon. notice we're not picking up much in the way of showers or rain in the forecast even into the start of next week, then tuesday, increasing clouds. around the bay area today, wll see highs in the upper 60s to maybe some low 70s outside. so that will be a good drop of almost so to 20 degrees in terms of the temperatures, but what you will notice will be those gusty winds picking up this afternoon, from 15 to 30 miles an hour, locally higher on the coast, and i wouldn't rule out a stray shower or two maybe along the hill tops on the coast and around the bay area. tomorrow we'll see a lishlt less wind. not a bad weekend, a little

out in the game. >> it was just kind of one of those games we were glad to get it out of the way. we're kind of pitching defense. i feel like we kind of struggle in both of those aspects. >> we're disappointed for sure, but it's just one game. it's obviously when we get a big crowd like that, we like to play better. but at the same time, that's just one game, we'll come back tomorrow and figure out where we went wrong and start over again. >> giants tried to even the score in l.a. against left hander jonathan sanchez. giants just one run on thursday. hoping for some offensive support to get things going. coup the close-up. rookie brandon hit his first at-bat thursday. he connects for his first major
