high-speed chase that started in sacramento ends in the east bay in a dramatic crash and police sweep of a neighborhood in martinez. good afternoon. i'm tori campbell. four people are in custody in martinez after a high-speed chase that started in the sacramento area. ktvu fox 2's brian flores is live in martinez to explain why details are rather slow in coming out. good afternoon, brian. >> reporter: hi, tori. good afternoon to you. well, according to the chp, the reason why that is because

there are several other law enforcement agencies investigating this case. it could lead to other cities, perhaps other states. we are on arthur road off 680 in martinez. right behind me is where the contract crashed earlier this morning. police caught the four people they believe were in the car at the time but the question right now is what else? what other crimes were these people involved in? investigators continue to delve deeper into the backgrounds of four suspects caught earlier this morning and what times they were involved with in the past. what we do know, they led the california highway patrol on a high-speed chase that started before 2:00 a.m. in the sacramento area and ended with them crashing an fleeing from officers off arthur road in martinez. >> the initial information we received was that that vehicle was armed and dangerous. so we immediately set up a containment. once that vehicle collided with the fence. >> reporter: to get the car to slow down, the chp says they rolled out a spike strip on southbound 680 near bayshore with no rubber on the tires,

the driver pulled off on arthur road, realized he couldn't turn and crashed into a fence. four suspects ran away. three were caught immediately. but a fourth remained on the loose for a couple of hours this morning. scary moments for this homeowner. >> very nervous. i have children and watching out for everybody and my neighbor across the street, he lives alone. he's in his 80s. >> reporter: the chp and contra costa sheriffs had to set up a perimeter that extended down pacheco boulevard. he says his neighbors saw one of the suspects hiding in his yard. >> i guess the suspect went past him and took off. >> reporter: he was caught with the help of k-9 units scouring the neighborhood. what remains unclear it is the crimes these forecommitted. sources originally said they might be involved in an armed robbery and the car may have originated in colorado. but chp couldn't confirm those details. >> we had an armed and dangerous vehicle coming our way. there was an active pursuit.

they were coming into our jurisdiction. that's when betook over -- when we took over. we're helping out in the investigation. we'll probably turn it over to allied agencies due to the fact that it seems like there's some other extenuating circumstances that happened in other jurisdictions. >> reporter: and that's where we stand at this hour as we take it back out here live. overall, chp says no injuries to officers or other drivers luckily on the freeway. we do expect more information to come out this afternoon. tori, back to you. >> thank you, brian. the search for a missing infant northwest of sacramento has come to a tragic end after the discovery of a baby boy's body. authorities have not yet positively identified the body but it's believed to be 20-day- old justice reese e and his mother 23-year-old samantha green disappeared saturday. she was found yesterday in nights landing in yolo county. authorities say she was

hysterical and very disor reernted -- disoriented. the child's body was discovered this morning in a waterway in yolo county. crews from marin and contra costa county helped in the search. officials have not yet determined the cause of death. the chuck driver accused of causing a metro link train to derail and crash in southern california reportedly has previous driving citations, including a dui conviction in arizona. investigators say the truck was not stuck on the tracks in vernt county yesterday morning when it was hit by a metro link train. the truck burst into flames and the impact caused three of the train's five cars to derail. the 54-year-old truck driver was arrested about a mile away from the crash scene. >> his name is jose alejandra sanchez ramirez. he was a truck driver for a company and he was driving the

vehicle in question. he was taken into custody for a felony hit-and-run violation. >> he is set to appear in court tomorrow. the l.a. times reports that he pleaded guilty to drunk driving in 1998 and had at least two other later citations. at least 28 people were hospitalized in the accident including four people listed in critical condition. but no one was killed. metro link officials say safety improvements probably reduced the number of injuries in yesterday's crash. back in 2008, a head-on crash between a metro link train and a freight train in chats worth left 25 people dead. that led metro link to investigate in new statist of the art rail cars built to absorb the impact of an accident. a deadly crash at a caltrain crossing in menlo park is prompting cars for new safety measures along the tracks. a 35-year-old bomb from east palo alto was killed on monday when her suv became boxed in by

traffic at the ravenswood avenue crossing. people in the area say the intersection often gets backed up and can get confusing. caltrain says the solution may be what's called grade separation where traffic crosses above or below the tracks. >> any time a pedestrian or vehicle has to cross the tracks there is a safety concern. so it would be a significant imprompt -- improvement. >> menlo park is working on this. burlingame and palo alto are also considering similar measures. we're following developing news in the east bay where several high school students have taken ill on campus. the albany fire department says two ambulances were called to albany high school about 11:00 a.m. at least three students got sick after ingesting an unknown substance. we don't yet know what the

thrilled that -- that we have the verdict, that we have tonight. >> reporter: kyle and littlefield were murdered at a texas gun range in february 2013. during the trial, defense attorneys argued that at the time of the killing, routh was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder but prosecutors said regardless of his condition routh still knew right from wrong. >> the defense had a tough time. they knew that the chances of this jury in texas or anywhere for that matter going along with the defense's theory was probably so low it approached no real value. >> reporter: we're getting our first chance to hear testimony from kyle's widow following the release of audio. >> that we loved each other and gave a kiss and a hug like always did. >> prosecutors did not seek the

death penalty against routh. he will spend life in prison without the possibility of parole. lawmakers are scrambling to put together a deal to fund the homeland security before current funding runs out. senate democrats have been holding firm blocking any bill that strips the department of enforcing immigration reforms made by president obama last year through executive action. majority leader mitch mcconnell is now offering up a clean funding bill separating out the immigration debate. however, over in the house of representatives it's not clear what house republicans are willing to accept. travelers at oakland airport experienced flight disruptions after southwest was forced to ground about a fifth of its fleet. the airline says it missed required safety inspections of backup rudder systems. southwest says when it discovered the problem yesterday, it immediately took 28 planes out of service and began checking them. that caused about 80 flight

cancellations across the country. ten flights were canceled in oakland this morning. i'm in maintenance and i know that we have to do prechecks and stuff. i mean, why did they let it go that long? i don't know. it's crazy. >> in 2009, southwest was fined for failing to inspect planes for cracks in the fuselage and in 20, the faa ordered inspections of -- 2011, the faa ordered inspections of some of the older 737s after a five- foot hole opened in mid-flight forcing an emergency landing. police are releasing surveillance video from a taxicab where a passenger brutally attacked his driver. the video and the disagreement that may have happened before the violent attack. beautiful sunny skies across the bay area today. but we're tracking rain on the way. meteorologist mark tamayo is here to tell you when it will be here and how long it will last. and a new take on the dangers of marijuana. what researchers have found and why they are saying it should

change some people's priority when it comes to the war on drugs.

daly city police are hoping newly released surveillance video will help them find a man who viciously attacked a

cabdriver. the driver picked up this well- dressed passenger the day after valentine's day in san francisco. he dropped him off near the cal palace. the passenger refused to pay his fare. when the driver got out to confront the man, the passenger started to punch and kick him. dro showed the video to -- we showed the video to some passengers. they say it's not unusual. >> it hanked a lot to me -- it happened a lot to me. some crazy guy get in and try to attack me. they don't want to pay me. >> this surveillance video shows several people walking or driving by while this attack is happening. the driver who was beaten had to be hospitalized for various injuries but is expected to be okay. anyone with information about the attack is asked to call daly city police. researchers say marijuana is the drug least likely to kill people who use it. that's according to a study in the journal scientific report.

it compared lethal doses of legal and illegal substances with how much a typical person uses. it found the risk of death by alcohol is 114 times higher than that of canny -- canfully -- cannabis. but some doctors say it's the habitual use of marijuana, especially by teens, that poses the real problem. >> the long-term use is associated with depression as well as cognitive or learning problems. that could affect them in schools, relationships, going forward, integrating into society. the study found alcohol was also more dangerous than heroin, cocaine, tobacco, and ecstasy. some researchers argue those opposed to the legalization of marijuana might be better off shifting their focus to alcohol abuse. right now, thousands of california students are filling the s.a.p.
