died on the may 4th fire on the san mateo bridge, the cause of which is still under investigation. four other women escaped. survivor nelly air an know says brown was on the phone when the limo was filling with smoke. >> the smoke and the fire came -- stop the car. >> reporter: in an interview with nbc bay area's cheryl hurd days after the fire, brown expressed grief for the victims. later his attorney denied that brown was on the phone at the time of the fire. brown said a language barrier and a misunderstanding prevented him from pulling over sooner. >> thinking that she's saying she'd like to smoke, because they weren't panicking. >> reporter: hernandez-brown describes a volatile relationship with brown saying they split up a month before the fire. earlier on the day of the fire police were called to a walgreen's parking lot where the two argued and brown allegedly kicked his wife's car.

you've got someone saying, yes, he was on the phone, he was talking to me. in fact, we were arguing. if reliable, it certainly can change the course of this investigation. >> the other issue is if the driver was on the cell phone, was he using a hands-free device. as you know, california law requires hands-free use for all drivers but also has a ban on all cell phone use for bus drivers. san francisco police investigating a violent home invasion robbery that happened at the intersection of palou and 3rd street in the bay area after midnight. investigators say three people broke into the home and stabbed the person inside in the chest. a witness tells us the man police arrested and the victim were both taken to the hospital. there's no word on either's condition. >> it is 5:34. students at a peninsula high school say they have been cheated after their ap test scores were thrown out following security concerns.

an unfair advantage. they haven't been investigating whether actual cheating happened or not. there are5,fñ guidelines for distance between desks and table size for groups of kids. on the website one student wrote "a year's worth of hard work and sleepless nights can't be replicated in just three weeks." that was a student who identified himself as jason. another mom wrote, my daughter studied very hard for her ap tests. it's absolutely unfair for my dart's scores to be invalidated due to factors over which she had no control. she didn't do anything wrong so she should not face consequences of others mistakes. the school has set up meetings about this with the families. one is tonight 579:00. the other is wednesday also at 7:00. reporting live in millbrae, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> christie, thanks so much. i notice christie had a trench coat on. a cool start to the morning. let's check in with meteorologist christina loren.
