(catherine) the report by the national transportation safety board was released today...bottom line - it blames the crash on a sleep-deprived driver and a bus company with a poor safety record.. it happened in august of 2016.. the bus had been traveling from los angeles to modesto and it drifted off the side of route 99 and hit a highway signpost. the impact was so great - it sliced the bus from nearly nose to tail. 4 people were killed and 20 others injured. the report says the driver had only slept about five hours over the previous 40 hours.. the bus was operated by fresno-based autobuses coordinates. the n-t-s-b says the federal agency that regulates bus

safety needs to move more aggressively to keep dangerous carriers off the roads. vicki and grant? (vicki) a big story we are following tonight... women may be less likely to get c-p-r from bystanders and more likely to die because of it. researchers think that reluctance to touch a woman's chest in public might be one reason. a study involved nearly 20-thousand cases of cardiac arrest around the country. only 39-percent of women suffering a heart attack in a public location were given c-p-r. that's compared to 45-percent of men. men were also more likely to survive.

(estacio)i am out here on bennett lane - north of downtown calistoga - behind me - two homes where guards are parked making sure no one gets close. neighbors tell me this is where calfire has been removing severl items. it is all to try and figure out what caused the fatal wildfires up here in wine country. (estacio reporting)the security guards blocking two homes off of bennett lane warned me not to keep my distance to only the public road. neighbors tell me the guards have been out in front of the two homes for weeks just after calfire removed several items from the properties, specifcally this one. in a motion filed by pge -it states on october 26, 2017, 3 in service distribution line fused cutouts were seized, 2 sets of in service transformers were taken and a secondary service

line that detached from a home. it also said that multiple sections of customer owned overhead conductors were also hauled away for examiniation. pge is currently facing an onslaught of legal action in connection with the wildfires. to date - there are 120 plaintiffs. lawyers for those suing pge peg pge as the culpruit, claimming the company failed to maintain proper clearance as mandated by state regulations, and as the winds whipped upwards of 60-70 miles an hour on october 8,sparks from crashing transformers ignited as many as 15 fires throuhout wine country. 43 people died in the blazes, 210 thousand acres were burned, and 8900 structures including homes were destroyed. while pge is pointing the finger at the private power company whose name is redacted in the motion, as you can see here - other documents reveal that pge equipment was also taken by calfire as part of their overall investigation.a representive with calfire told me that they have 28 highly trained investigators working to determine the cause of the fire. those investigators have collectly 1 thousand hours of experience in reviewing every angle of the fire to figure out the cause. the investigators also have law enforcement backgrounds to scour through evidence. and a spokesperson told me that it is profoundly premature to single out a private power

company or pge as the cause - that it is baseless, adding that it will take months if not a year to announce a verdict.

additional 14- percent of u.s. adults with high blood pressure however, doctors say, only two percent of these newly added people need medication. the rest are urged to try healtheir lifestyles first. high blood pressure raises the risk of heart disease and stroke.
