was going exactly when it hit the crest. >> reporter: the superman ride will stay closed for the time being for what the park is describing as a thorough inspection. it will not reopen until the problem has been identified and it's been fixed by park mechanics. that work will begin later on today. the same ride actually was offline last friday because of a computer programming issue. a park spokesman says that was unrelated to what happened yesterday. they do keep this crane on hand here at the park for situations just like the one yesterday. we are live this morning in vallejo alex savidge. a family is in mourning after a bizarre party bus accident. natasha noland fell out of the bus after a fight on friday night. tara moriarty joins us from santa cruz with more on the young womans life. >> reporter: the chp says the party bus company and the driver they have not faced any

and this morning mechanics at six flags discovery kingdom will try to determine what went wrong with a popular new ride. ktvu alex savidge tells us about a dozen roller coaster riders got stuck. what happened, alex? >> reporter: that is still the question that is up in the air this morning. park spokeswoman i spoke to a short time ago say they ruled out a mechanical issue being the problem. but still mechanics here at six flags will be moving in and doing a closer inspection. i can tell you they used this huge crane we are standing underneath. they attached a bucket to this crane and they hoisted themselves up to the top point on this roller coaster. that is the highest point of the ride where it call stalled out yesterday afternoon. firefighters were called here to six flags around 3:00 in the afternoon yesterday. a dozen people were stuck right side up thankfully 100 feet up on the new superman flight roll

arer coast -- roller coaster. after more than an hour and a half mechanics managed to restart the ride and brought the coaster back down to the ground. >> our mechanical team was on sight. engaging with the guests and partnership with the valy hoe fire department we were able to ease them back in the station quickly and safely. >> reporter: and in the end none of the riders were hurt. a park spokeswoman told us the dozen riders that were stuck on the roller coaster will in likelihood be compensated in what they went through. the superman ride will remain closed for the time being. investigators will go in later on this morning and try to pinpoint a cause for what took place yesterday and they will not reopen the superman ride until the problem has been fixed. we are live this morning in vallejo alex savidge. apple and samsung square off in court today in a lawsuit that has been closely watched

by silicon valley. cara liu is here to explain why the lawsuit could reshape the tablet and smart phone industry. good morning, cara. >> reporter: it is no secret that mobile phone and tablet market are fiercely competitive. i reached out to both companies earlier this morning and just got this statement back from samsung within the last hour. first a quick background. we know from federal court documents that apple is alleging samsung galaxy and computer tablets opinion experts say did samsung copy apple or create a competitive good alternative to the iphone and ipad? this will give us a rare working into the two tech giants. billions are at stake and this decision could have a major impact on the business landscape and ultimately the

marketplace. we could possibly see opening statements today as well. the statement we got from samsung this morning says in part patent law was never intended to give a company a monopoly over an entire market. samsung wants to compete with apple not to stifle competition to offer more choices to consumers not to limit their ability to buy the product they want at a price they can't afford. we are still waiting on a response from apple coming up as soon as we get that we'll let you know what apple has to say. for now we are live in los gatos cara liu. time now 6:36. all eyes will be on colorado again this morning. that is where the man accused of that deadly movie theater shooting in aurora, colorado is due to face a judge today. our reporter renee marsh is live this morning with the latest developments from there. >> reporter: good morning, dave.

the countdown now i would say in two hours things will get under way and the suspected shooter when he walks into that courtroom he is going to be faced with a laundry list of charges. just based on the court documents here's what we can expect to hear today. prosecutors they are anticipating filing 12 counts of first degree murder and numerous counts of attempted first degree murder. and then there will be other charges filed against him. those other charges we can assume stem from the explosionives found inside of the suspects apartment when they did the search there. one other thing is we know that as far as the death penalty goes that has been a big question. will the prosecution go for the death penalty? will they not? the simple answer is we don't know yet. it will be a long process for them to decide whether they will go for the death penalty. they will be listening to victims, family of the victims and weighing it based on their

input. but it is a possibility since first degree murder does come with the death penalty here in colorado. one last thing, dave that i know they will be talking about is that package that the suspected shooter sent to his psychiatrist. we know he's seeing a psychiatrist. the prosecution they want to use that as evidence. whatever was in that package. holmes attorneys they are saying no. that is information between a patient and the doctor and that should be kept out of this case. the judge will hear both sides of that argument and make a decision at some point. dave. >> very interesting. renee marsh from colorado, thank you. republican presidential candidate mitt romney wraps up his trip to israel with a promise to continue a close relationship. >> a free and strong america will always stand with a free and strong israel. >> what else romney said that

has angered palestinian leaders. that is coming up. time now 6:38. sal is back. are you watching the toll plaza? >> no. >> you know what -- >> i hope nobody is. >> i'm a kidder. you know i watch that thing more than you might think. i watch it at all times because it's very important. any little thing goes wrong at that toll plaza it could have a disasterrous effect on the morning commute. so yes i am. all kidding aside. we are watching highway 4. a lot of people that start off here believe it or not end up at the toll plaza. this morning has been a good or you know it has been a good commute. it's been a little slow in antioch. we are watching the toll plaza. it is backed up. we had that earlier stall i talked about. that did mess things up a little bit. it's very slow here at the toll plaza. what happens is they have to slow the metering lights down whenever there is anything on the bridge to allow them to get the cars off. and once they do that it has a

chain reaction effect on the commute for at least an hour or so. and moving -- in fact let me just make sure i have my twitter site up. let me make sure the maps are up here. traffic in the east bay is going to be a little slow on 880 southbound here. i can see a little slow down approaching highway 2. no problems on the san mateo or dumbarton bridge. >> twitter is always up there. always. we have low clouds around. it's more emphasis on low clouds getting squashed a little bit. high pressure building in. that puts a cap on. it's more in the way of fog. somewhere around 1,000 feet. over the weekend was around 2,000 feet. temperatures will start to warm up. satellite picture shows fog and cap on it i'm going to step out of the way. we will go to the weather computer there for those in the control room i appreciate it. thank you. it's on its way. there they are.

warmest temps pittsburg, antioch. 90 morgan hill and gilroy. 60s on the coast. 60s in the city. 70s to near 80 degrees on the peninsula. not much change tuesday and wednesday. thursday looks to be the hottest day of the week unless there is a head fake in the computer models. it will be cooler by the weekend. a wild free freeway chase ended with a crash and gunfire. we'll tell you why officers were after a teenage driver. >> we are live in santa cruz where a young woman dies in a tragic party bus accident. why one lawmaker says his bill would have prevented the tragedy. >> westbound 237 getting a little slower now.
