he, according to him, that he took too big of a turn and fell asleep at the wheel. according to a colleague who is here at the scene, he says his colleague tells us that the police did give him a breathalyzer and he apparently passed as there was no arrest made of this driver. a young man who was in this vehicle that crashed through the fence of this home. fortunately, he was not hurt. he was sopping wet but was not taken to the hospital, and again, it appears there have been no arrests in this accident that took place with this car now in the middle of this pool at this home here at calabasas. reporting live here in santa clara. >> thank you very much. 4:33 right now. grief and heartache in southern california as people are trying to under why a gunman went to his estranged wife's school and killed her along with an 8-year-old student. the gunman, cedric anderson, walked into a san bernadino
