explain how. kevin? kevin: they tell the intersection is prone to crashes. the problems is the cars turning in and out oaf the neighborhood are sideswiped by the cross traffic. while the crash is still under investigation, it appears that is exactly what happened here last night. according to eyewitnesses i talked to today a mother and her 9-year-old daughter were turning left on to the less busy canberra drive when a second car hit them. paramedics took both drivers to the hospital. the young girl was pronounced dead. she is identified as dashelle brown. two hours ago, her mother visited the crash site sobbing and said her daughter was a sweet girl who loved dancing and singing and playing the violin. >> that is my only child. i love my only little baby. i wouldn't wish that on no

one. miss my baby. i just miss her. i wish i could have her back. >> she is completely silent. no movement. they got her out, no movement. >> heart breaking. this afternoon, spilled oil and broken glass and scatter aid long the road here. they have not said if either driver will be facing charges. live in clinton, i'm kevin lewis, abc7 news. jonathan: horrible. kevin, thank you. well, montgomery county police say ter in a hit-and-run now has come toward. 17-year-old boy was hit and rushed to the hospital with serious injuries overnight and crossing columbia pike. alison: you might remember just last week across the area a safe driving campaign kicked off. it's called "street smart." soloing on to wjla.com. you can search for street smart there and see the story about how you can be safe on the road driving, walking, or biking. jonathan: well, mechanics now

are trying to figure out what caused news chopper 7 to make an emergency landing this morning in potomac, maryland. the chopper which serves all d.c. tv stations was over a large house fire this morning when the firefighters below looked up and they noticed smoke was coming from the aircraft. the photojournalist and the news chopper 7 pilot were able to come down safely in a nearby field. >> i have been doing this for a while. we had some minor scares before. the best thing to do in this kind of situation is just to keep cool and you can get upset and think about it on the ground. jonathan: he is very calm. investigators now are looking into the possibility that perhaps smoke was caused by too much oil in the aircraft. alison: charles severance has been convicted. you know that now. of three murders. but his legal battle is not over with appeals promised. today family members of the victims of the alexandria murders are reflecting. our northern virginia bureau chief jeff goldberg has reaction. jeff, i know you had a chance

to talk with one of the members. jeff: we spoke this afternoon with two of ruthanne lodato's three daughters who talked about what it was like to endure this trial for a month. the reaction to the verdict and how they still struggle every day with the loss of their mother. today in old town, alexandria, at a park named for their mother, a music teacher all of her life, we spoke luchia and carmen lodato. carmen is an employee at abc7. they both say that the trial was physically and emotionally exhausting. explaining just how difficult it was to hear the details of the crimes against their mother mother and the other victims. they leaned on one another and found strength for one another and stood strongly behind the case of the prosecutor brian porter. >> i think we are really confident from the beginning with brian and whole team. we think they did a great job. the jury thought so too.

>> we were so pleased it turned out the way it did and that all the families really got what we were hoping for out of the case. jeff: when everyone was inside the courtroom yesterday listening to the verdicts being read, it was an incredibly intense and tense moment. coming up at 5:00, we will hear from the daughters about what that moment was like for them. live in the newsroom, jeff goldberg, abc7 news. alison: thank you. we are thinking about them today. thank you for that. search for a new general manager at metro. it isn't over after all. man once expected to get the job is now out of the running. in a statement, metro says wmata and neil cohen agreed mutually he would no longer be considered for the job. no word on why. the troubled agencies has been searching for a permanent leader since january when the g.m. resigned. jonathan: in a year we will head to the polls and elect a new president.

a lot can happen at that time, a new national poll shows ben carson leading other candides. senior political reporter scott thuman joining us to explain this. a week ago it was trump. this week it is ben carson. who knows what will happen in the next 52 weeks. scott: buckle up for a long ride. what is interesting about this, this ises the first time we have seen in a national poll that ben carson is leading donald trump twice in a row. we had the first bump before the colorado debate. now nationally in a poll he is on top. this is just outside the margin of error. that is perhaps why we are hearing today another example of donald trump going on the attack more aggressively against ben carson. in the same poll you are seeing a tiny bump for marco rubio and ted cruz and jeb bush slightly increasing. jonathan: so is it that carson is surging or trump is slumping? scott: a little bit of both.

we are seeing a little growth fo carson on that end and trump has dropped a couple of points. but the margin of error the nbc news, "wall street journal" poll is 5%. so to see a couple of points here and there doesn't mean a world of difference. if you are among the camps and you are on the trump side you are wondering do we need to worry. if you are on the ben carson side you think are we finally catching fire? jonathan: on the democratic side is there a discussion to be had? scott: not much. two interesting things. hillary clinton doubled up bernie sanders nationally 62-31%. two to one ratio there with martin o'malley taking 3%. what is interesting though is the breakdown of the new hampshire numbers. for the first time now, hillary clinton that we have seen in a while is on top in new hampshire. she jumped seven points. that is displacing bernie sanders at the top of the polls. so he is now in second place. you go the polls are so far out, how much do they matter? you know think about it, new hampshire is only three months

away. she has a slight lead. negligible but at the same she can say she is ahead of bernie sanders for the first time in a while. jonathan: and his home court. vermont is his home state. appreciate it. if you think it's too early to follow the polls you might be right. we look back in 2011 at this point, mitt romney just barely pulled ahead of herman cain in a gallop poll. in 2007, julio jones doubled up the eventual nominee, which was senator john mccain. alison: a lot can happen between now and then. thank you. locally a big election year in virginia with several key swing states in the state senate up for grabs. which way that tilts could determine which party gets the majority. tolls and guns are hot topics in district 29. another close race we'll follow is in alexandria. that the race for mayor. we will have the results of all the key races tonight on abc7 news at 11:00. there are still time to get
