was really necessary. >> i don't know. i think when the comes in residential situations, they need to slow down and not create these situations where people die. >> the police say the chase was so short that the crash happened before the officer could evaluate whether or not to call off the pursuit. >> all indications was that he followed our pursuit policy and that he was acting in accordance with what we wanted him to do. >> reporter: now, after a short foot chase police caught the driver of the pickup and they also arrested the passenger. investigators found a gun in the trunk of that car. now, the chp and d.a.'s office are investigating the accident. police have not identified the suspect or the driver who was killed. we will check and see when that information will be released. live from concord, karen moriarty. today president obama will announce new measures to help students pay off student loans. coming up at 6:15 we will have

they were coming at us with a barricade. >> so that gentleman was released last night from jail after spending the entire day in jail. again, protesters have vowed to come back here at 6:00 in the morning, but still it's actually been dwindling, the count, more than the protesters have been adding to their count. so we'll have to wait and see what happens here this morning. reporting live in oakland, noel walker, ktvu channel 2 news. >> police for down the occupy oakland camp more than 24 hours ago. there has been a lot of trouble on the streets since then. lorraine blanco is down there checking the damage in downtown oakland this morning. over this san francisco occupy protesters at justin herman plaza fear police could soon break up their encamp. . they say the police chief issued a written warning that says they are subject to

see how bad the traffic is. looks like it's backed up at least to the lake shore curve here heading out toward at least fruitvale. it could be backed up to high street now. there is the lake shore exit. coming up to at least fruitvale here. it's not usually backed up this early. there it goes around that corner again. looks like this backup, it looks like that could be -- that could be about fruitvale maybe. so it's not quite backed up to high street just yet. let's go back to the desk. well, a police pursuit in concord ended in a crash that killed an innocent driver. cornerback tara moriarty joins us now and tells us how it went from a minor traffic violation to something of more serious. tara. >> reporter: this driver was pulled over for a cellphone violation. that's a very minor infraction. it's less than a $200 fine. now he may be looking at

manslaughter. this is where he was coming from in this direction . >> instead of stopping he kept speeding and he smacked right into the middle of a car coming off of the freeway right here. police say it happened within one minute last night just 6:00. the officer signaled for the driver of the pickup to pull over but he took off, plowing into a bmw off polano way, killing an innocent driver. the debris spilled all over the road gives you an idea of how hard the impact was. one neighbor says he thought the police could have avoided the crash by simply not following the suspect. >> who knows why he was fleeing. like i said, when folks choose to engage in that type of behavior it's dangerous for everybody involved. >> reporter: yeah, police say that chase was so short that the crash happened before the officer could evaluate whether or not to call off the pursuit. after a short foot chase police did catch the driver and arrested the passenger.
