months from the planning process. >> reporter: they estimate the project could cost 50 to $60 million, and would be funded from tolls. the plan includes a complete traffic study on the impact increased traffic would have on the richmond side. >> under the proposal, the lane would be open during peak commute times, then closed during other hours. >> reporter: many drivers seem to like the idea. >> i do see it that it gets backed up quite frequently during rush hour. >> reporter: the bridge originally had three lanes. but after the paloma earthquake, the third lanes were converted to shoulders. some commuters say they prefer it to stay that way. >> yeah, that is for the emergency stuff. >> reporter: i asked and the ntc spokesman tells me they would have not have to raise tolls in order to pay for this

a bay area chp officer accused of stealing nude pictures from the phones of women he pulled over. tonight, one woman stopped by sean harrington speaks only to 2 investigates. >> does it make you mad? >> i think more than anything, it makes me afraid. >> that woman's experience is raising new questions tonight about how then officer harrington handled a crash and deadly fire that was just up the road from where the woman was pulled over. ktvu's eric rasmussen first reported on this controversy last october. he's here tonight with with this new information that he's uncovered. >> reporter: frank, the tip came as a bombshell to us.

we knew sean harrington was facing felony charges for stealing photos off of women's phones. then we discovered harrington was one of the officers who chose not to check out a car fire where a man eventually died. the chp said he was busy with a dui stop, and now for the first time, we're hearing from the woman he pulled over. >> we were pretty much alone on the freeway. lights came up behind us. >> reporter: 12:30 a.m., on interstate 60 in alamo. this woman says she didn't know why she was getting pulled over by the chp. >> he was very apologetic that evening. you know, he obviously wanted to know where we were coming from, and where where we were going. >> and if she had been drinking. >> i had three or four glasses of wine with dinner. >> reporter: stopped on the way home, the breathalyzer showed she was just over the legal limit. this woman, who asked not to be identified, says the night took a strange turn when another car pulled up to them along stone

valley road. >> the gentleman had his window down, he was honking, he was yelling. >> reporter: the man in that car, dr. ron wyatt told ktvu he was trying to get the officers to check out a car that had crashed and caught fire just down the road. >> i said sir we've got a car down the road that's on fire. he said we'll get to it when we're done here. >> reporter: records identify one of the officers as sean harrington. at the time, allegations of stealing women's photos had not yet come into light. while harrington called the fire into dispatch, he and his partner did not go to check it out themselves. the doctor's 911 calls turned frantic. >> they're burning to death, man. >> reporter: two investigates found it took seven minutes for anyone to respond to the accident. the driver, 60-year-old michael sevenau died. the woman says they were right here when they got the plea for help running down the road.

running a stopwatch, we found it would have taken about 36 seconds to get here to the scene of the crash and fire. >> reporter: instead, this woman says harrington's questions turned to her cell phone. >> he asked my husband if he could use one of our cell phones to call someone to pick us up. so we decided to call my mom. my mom called back a few minutes later. officer harrington was the one who answered. he had my phone for about an hour, an hour and a half. >> i don't think that's true at all. i think that's categorically false. >> reporter: harrington's lawyer told us his client never looked through this woman's phone, and prosecutors found no evidence he took any of her photos. yet, according to court records, investigators found harrington had stolen nude photos from the phone of another woman also pulled over for dui just two days earlier. text messages reveal, he shared them with at least one other

officer. >> he said no, i made a mistake, it was terrible, i acknowledge it, and he's paid a price for it. >> rain says they won't fight the charges in court. >> i imagine you have a lot of pictures on your phone. >> yes, a few thousand at least. >> did it give you pause that he at least could have looked through those? >> yes. just, you know it's a private thing and like, it's frightening, you know. you've seen the best from the people who serve the public, you know, and i still do. i still place so much trust in police officers and firefighters, and first responders. but when you come across a situation like this, it's just like kind of rattles you a bit. >> reporter: she says harrington's unusual behavior with her continued the next day. >> i heard a knock at the front door, and we weren't expecting anyone. so i go to answer it, and it was officer harrington in his street clothes and his personal

car with my purse. he apologized. he said he found my purse in his patrol car. >> reporter: was it appropriate for officer harrington to go back to this woman's house in street clothes? >> i will tell you this, it probably wasn't the preferred way that police officers are taught to deal with the situation. >> reporter: she says it was the woman's husband who left the purse behind in the patrol car, and he was simply doing a favor in returning it. yet, it was this crash, so close to a fire station, and police officers down the street that continues to haunt her. >> do whatever you need to do, put me in your car, take me with you, please make this a priority, go investigate. >> so in that moment, they have to make a decision, what's going to be the most appropriate resources we can get out there for a car fire. >> reporter: last september, the highway patrol defended their response. a spokesperson said firefighters were already on the way when the officers were contacted. but the chp declined a second interview to talk about officer

harrington's involvement, or whether his behavior would cause the chp to look at the case any differently. rain says officer harrington stands by his decision that night. >> i suspect had they made the decision to jump in their patrol car, and let this woman and her husband to get in their car and drive away, they would have been criticized for that. the problem is, in a situation like that, there's no perfect decision. >> reporter: it revealed he was drunk, but also died from 2nd and 3rd degree burns, meaning the crash itself didn't kill him. it leaves this woman wondering whether he could have been pulled out alive. >> heartbreaking. >> reporter: now the woman we spoke to says there was unexplained data usage on her phone during the time harrington had access to it. harrington's attorney insists the woman's husband was using it that night before it was

handed over to officers. harrington is expected to take a plea deal next week. >> going back to that woman for a moment. did she tell you why she decided to come forward? frank, she said she saw our first report in october. made the connection she was the one out there that night, and wanted to clear her conscious. >> so tragic, because it was just 30 seconds down the road. she even oftenned to go with, she says to the scene to help the man in the car. if you have an idea for 2 investigates, we want to hear from you. just email 2 investigates@ktvu.com. we're following some breaking news right now. after the break, what we know about three shootings tonight that wounded at least five people. >> highs approaching 80 degrees. the warm up beginning tomorrow, and when temperatures will hit an unseasonably high peak. >> also tonight, u.s. officials in cuba. the historic talks underway to restore diplomatic ties frozen since the 60s. >> up first, why the debate
