hepxj was alone in the car at t time when a metal rod crashed right through the windshield. this was on interstate 580 westbound about a half mile west of grant line road. initially, officers thought that the volvo wagon he was in crashed into the median. they got there and found he was hit in the head and the torso by this rod. now, the metal we are talking about is about three-feet long. it is often can used by truckers to tie down straps holding down cargo on flatbed trucks. the chp doesn't know where it came from. >> we have no idea whether it came off of a truck or a trailer and it was laying in the roadway and kicked up by another vehicle. >> certainly, loads must be secured to by law on trucks. the chp are used to seeing debris out on bay area freeways. mattresses and refrigerators. this sort of thing. this is rather unusual. again, if you see anyone who may have remembered seeing anything

rally. ben bernanke says, two things on capitol hill yesterday. first, he told lawmakers, government cuts were one of the main reasons the economy is recovering so slowly. second, as you said, he made rather vague predictions that the current fed policy cannot last forever. if we boil that down to two simple ideas, bernanke said, one, it is all your fault. two, the party has to end sometime. it was the second part which got all the attention. dow futures call for the market to lose 100 points off the open today. investors like low interest rates. cheap money, lots of it. they have been)(: pouring that cheap money into stocks. in a lot of ways, bernanke is being obvious lear. we know interest rates can't be at zero forever. when higher rates return, you will likely see the stock market fade, mortgage rates go up and even perhaps interest charged on student loans.

a bill in the house floor would tie federal loans to the interest rates on treasury loans. right now, stafford loan rates are set by the government and they don't move. this is a republican plan. it sounds pretty good. that's when rates are essentially zero. they might not sound so great if interest rates rise. if the government does nothing, we will see loan rates double. they have until july 1st to figure this out. lots of students, lots of parents are absolutely wondering what is going to happen. specially with doubling the interest rates. >> 6:17 right now. christina loren is back to tell us about a good-looking weekend ahead. i know we are on thursday but always keep it positive. >> a lot of graduations happening this week too. >> we get into june. it is all about dads and grads. scott mcgrew and i were talking about this yesterday. they have finals after memorial day weekend. his son does. so that's kind of tough on the kids. some of the kids will be spending their time this weekend
