car was killed. and as corey mentioned the officer was also injured. he was taken to the hospital. police say he is going to be just fine, has minor injuries, so that is the good news this morning. this accident investigation, though, just getting started. investigators have been here for hours, working out here. one of the questions we wanted to get answered was whether or not the officer had his lights and siren on at the time as he was passing through the intersection. investigators have not been able to tell us that quite yet this morning. morning. in the meantime, amelia earhart has details on how to get around this intersection. >> reporter: in fact sky 9 is overhead, taking an aerial view of the scene here. obviously. federal is shut down at 88th.

look at it. 88th where the initial crash happened. federal is shut down from 86th to 90th. 92nd can help you out or pecos. lowell is also an option to access u.s. 36. as far as i-25 and 36 go, your main highways in the area, both are checking clear. the rest of our drives very quiet and guys, we'll be looking at our alternates as well as the rest of our morning commute. good morning, welcome to 9news i'm cheryl preheim along with gary shapiro and corey rose. let's check in with marty coniglio, who is outside. >> reporter: windy? >> reporter: especially this afternoon, tonight and early tomorrow morning. gorgeous pre dawn, it is very warm out here. wonderful winds coming today. record warmth is likely in the denver area and snow has started in mountain areas.

winds. i just saw a wind gust of 78 miles per hour. it is going to take awhile to make it down into the metro area so some of our strong winds come in the foothills throughout the day. they will finally slow down tomorrow afternoon. high wind watch out sheridan boulevard and highway 287 to the west, gusts to 60 miles per hour possible. a lot of 20 on and 30 miles per hour gusts. the high wind watch over the plains goes out tonight. gusts up to 100 miles per hour from the front range mountains and foothills down into the mountains. rain and snow out west and how warm it is going to get, in a couple of minutes.

jurors return today for the second day of the trial for the woman accused of cutting a fetus from a pregnant mother. the jury had a lot to think about last night after michelle wilkins described in graphic detail the attack against her and her unborn child. joins us. yesterday? >> reporter: it was very disturbing testimony. but prosecutors say it is necessary, because they are this case. dynel lane was in court as michelle wilkins testified. she was one of several people the jury heard from. wilkins testified she had gone to dynel lane's house to answer an ad for free maternity clothes posted on craigslist. she told the jury she stayed in the home for what seemed like a long time. that dynel lane kept trying to have a conversation with her. michelle wilkins said on the

talking trying to be polite but eventually she got uncomfortable and tried to leave. when she did, she said dynel lane hit her in the back, and then choked her and punched her and she said this to try to stop the attack. >> i was holding my hand over my head and i said i don't know why you are doing this. i love you. she said if you love me you'll let me do there and then she stabbed it into my neck. >> and that was just part of the testimony that we heard. >> reporter: we also heard from first responders, including a police officer, who responded to the scene after michelle wilkins called 911. the dispatcher described talking to wilkins on the phone, trying to keep her awake after having her baby girl cut from her womb.

lane is being held in jail on a $2 million bond as this trial corey. >> tarhonda thank you. prosecutors won't charge a homeowner who shot a man to death during a robbery. 38-year-old david martinez was killed last month. he and others man robbed the owner owner. the home -- the homeowner. the second suspect was arrested days later. an investigation decided criminal charges weren't warranted even though martinez was shot outside the home. apple versus the federal government. the ceo tim cook says the company is trying to protect the privacy of every user and that is why he is fighting against an effort to unlock a terrorist's cell phone. this is all prompting a big debate.

live to talk with us about this. vida, the question is should apple do it? >> reporter: that is the big debate here. apple could easily create the software needed to unlock the iphone used by the san bernardino shooter. however doing so could create a danger that far outweighs its public benefits. in a letter released on the company's website ceo tim cook says he is challenging a judge's order that apple must assist the fbi, saying it could potentially undermine encryption for millions of users. and endanger privacy for hundreds of millions of law- abiding citizens all around the world. the federal government says it needs to have access to any records in the phone in order to track leads to isis.

maintains the request would only have an impact on one device, and that they are not asking apple to redesign a product or even create a new back door to one of their products. apple has five days to respond to the court ruling. gregg? 6:09 right now. people in colorado bought mer cigarettes last year than they have in a long time. health officials say 194 million packs of cigarettes were sold in 2015. that works out to about 36 for every resident, and that was an increase of more than 1 million packs from 2014. the number of luxury apartments being difficulty in denver is on the rise. the units are being built even though vacancies are increasing in the metro area. it comes down to high demand. in downtown denver renters are willing to pay top dollar, for top amenities, not just a pool

>> how many mac computers do you have? >> reporter: according to the latest reports three years ago, about 30% of renters in the denver area were paying rents below $1000. that number sits now at 11%. take a look at this mess. this is augusta, maine. an ice jam flooded some of the nearby streets. luckily for some people who normally park along the river, they were warned beforehand they had to move their cars. marty, it is ice jam season out there, but usually it doesn't create this kind of mess? >> reporter: no that is amazing. when a mess for augusta. now for us today, more rain and snow on the way. remember we have had the rock slides in glenwood canyon. this weather does not help in that situation. we continue to see the rain

with lake showers and snow continuing, the heaviest snow between 4:00 p.m. and midnight. a few spots north of rabbit ears pass getting a good amount, 4 to 9 inches. most is at 2 to 6 with south and west of crested butte 1 to 3 inches of snow. stronger winds throughout the day, temperatures in the low 70s. if we hit 72 degrees that will be a new record for today's date. >> and if the thermometer doesn't blow away in the wind, we can confirm it right? 6:11 now. well the hope was drivers might be able to get through glenwood canyon sometime day. crews worked all day yesterday to repair i-70 near glenwood springs after the two huge rock slides on monday.

few high clouds here, clear over the plains. we have 20s, 30s, 40s and close to 60 degrees in some of the chinook winds in eastern colorado. these showers are the first foray of the new storm. the main core of storm is still in utah. look for the heaviest snow in 4:00 p.m. so by late in the afternoon, here we are at 5:00, perhaps rain, blowing over the continental divide and the snow being heaviest in the mountains. 60s in the foothills, 60s and 70s. i believe we'll make a record high temperature here today in the strong winds that will continue to build through the day with the strongest winds in my opinion from the i-25 corridor to the east late this afternoon through early tomorrow morning. so it is just going to build as the day goes on.

the afternoon, lasting until about midnight tonight. 40s, 50s in the mountains and west, 60s, 70s and 80s in eastern colorado. extreme winds especially through the afternoon and evening tonight. with strong wind gusts. a few gusts at or higher than 60 miles per hour in the metro area. in the foothills 100 miles per hour gusts absolutely possible. extremely windy tomorrow morning, decreasing tomorrow afternoon. a little breeze out of the turn cooler. we have a chance for a couple of inches of snow coming up morning. we have just something for everyone today don't we? >> we do. sky 9 is taking an aerial view of the overnight crash involving the police officer and another vehicle here. it is a fatal crash, which means the investigation could be underway for several hours and you can see exactly why. so much activity on scene here, tow trucks arriving, additional police units. in terms of the alternate

ways to get around this but this crash will impact thousands of people waking up. federal shut down from 86th to 90th. alternate routes 92nd or pecos. 84th eastbound and westbound. lowell a good alternate in the area. as for the rest of our drive we have good speeds here across the i-25 corridor, we are still in the 60s and across our commerce city drive gregg, a crash at federal and colorado just coming in. a new study just released this morning by credit cards.com finds 25 million credit card holders haven't changed their go-to credit card in about 10 years. 20million have never changed it at all. as card issuers compete for customers, a study finds rewards are now america's

corridor and out onto the plains. from about 5:30 tonight to 5:30 tomorrow morning i think is when we are going to see some of the strongest winds. during the day as the wind intensifies, we get single digits and low teens for relative humidity, we have red flag warnings out for extreme fire danger from the foothills through castle rock and parker out to watkins and through all of southeastern colorado. rain and know in the west, extreme fire danger for the front range and southeast. marty let's look at our drive here. we have a changing situation across the closure right in our west minister commute after the overnight fatal accident. southbound federal remains closed from 86th to 90th, we just got the text message update that northbound federal is now open in the area. again, northbound federal is open between 86th and 90th. southbound is still closed.

the officer's car is now up in the bed of a tow truck now. they are about to move the other car that was involved in this accident. they've got northbound lanes of federal boulevard at 88th open now in the past 15 minutes or so. i want to show what you this intersection looked like as emergency crews were on the scene earlier this morning. i know from police that the accident happened about 1:15 in the morning. a westminister police officer had just gotten a call about the disturbance involving the gun. he was headed southbound on federal boulevard when another car traveling southbound on federal turned on to west 88th, right in front of the officer's car. the officer ended up plowing right into that car. sadly, the man driving the other car was killed in the accident. the officer was also sent to the hospital, and has minor injuries. westminister police say he is going to be just fine. one of the things we have asked

get an answer about so far is whether or not the officer had his lights and siren on at the time of the accident as he was passing through this intersection. looks like investigators have wrapped up their work. they have the squad car up and they should have the other car out of here shortly and soon i imagine the southbound lanes will open up. we have seen changes in the closures across federal where the fatal accident happened overnight between 86th and 90th. that is where the previous closure was in both directions. northbound traffic is getting through. yes you will see delays, because there is still a lot of activity in the area, so do keep that in mind. use 92nd to pecos as your alternate route. you can access u.s. 36 in the area. the rest of your metro drive very busy. an accident here at 104th avenue. we want to go live up to sky 9 overhead, looking at the

decent visibility expected with strong winds around the areas. if we hit 72 and i think we will, that will be a new record high for the day. the wind will continue to pour off the foothills. but after 5:00 and especially after sunset, that is when we have the strong winds moving down the hill here over the i- 25 corridor. we have high wind warnings out now for the front range mountains and foothills for up to 100 miles per hour gusts. that goes through noon tomorrow. and here more locally from sheridan, to 287 to the west we could see up to 60 miles per hour gusts. again most of those this afternoon, tonight and early tomorrow morning. >> those are dangerous speeds of winds. >> reporter: it is going to be a noisy one. marty thank you. it has been nearly a year since she was brute lay tacked and her unborn baby was cut from her womb.

on her neck. she began punching her, hittingler, and then the moment that led to michelle wilkins passing out. >> she pinned down my arms with her legs and actually used i remember she was trying so hard to cut me. and when she got closer she bore down with the whole weight of her hand on my windpipe and i just remember everything going black. >> reporter: the next thing michelle wilkins recalls and waking up and her baby having been cut from her at the time. she had the wherewithal to call 911 and the dispatcher testified about the call. the police officer who was first to respond to the scene also testified. so some very, very intense testimony we heard on the stand and that is only day one of
