take a look at the video of a deputy's car in prince george's county. you can see it standing up almost completely on the end near central avenue and garrett boulevard this was last night. the sheriff's department said the deputy inside was responding to a call about a fight and he crashed into an suv and flipped on to the telephone pole. we're obviously very devastated to have lost my dad and susannah and jason and grateful for their lives. loved ones are remembering a father, daughter, and her boyfriend killed in a crash on route 50 near annapolis over the weekend. jason was helping susannah take care of her father who was having health problems. state police say an off duty police officer slammed into the

back of their car saturday and caused that car to flip over. raymond batters, susannah, and jason were sitting in traffic when a prior wreck happened. the 19-year-old susannah would leave college every weekend to return to manchester, maryland to help her father. state police say it may take weeks before the attorney's officer can determine whether charges will be filed against the officer. this morning we're hearing from family members of a 19-year-old who was killed in a hit and run. he attended buoy state university. he was killed friday morning on the baltimore, washington parkway. cell phone video shows the scene here. witnesses told police a driver hit his car and forced it off the road. the car rolled over and caught fire. the men in the other car left just took off. the victim's cousin say their families were very close. >> he was inspiration and a role

there was a change in school. since my son is autistic, he needs a routine on a daily basis. >> it is important to get the information out and we apologize for that. two staff members have complained of respiratory issues but it's unclear if that is connected to the mold. and for the third time in recent months u.s. robert durst facing new accusations about a cold case in vermont. police say durst owned a business in that area at the time an 18-year-old college student went missing more than 40 years ago. right now durst is in louisiana to face weapons charges that could put him in prison for as much as 20 years. a judge denied him bail there. his lawyers said he was not surprised. >> i didn't have any hope at all that the judge was going to set a bail bond so all in all, i think it's been a good day for us. >> durst is facing a warrant for murder out of california.

his lawyers say they want to contest that warrant because it's based on a dumtocumentary and not, quote, real evidence. >> sorry, man, but we had to bust your bracket! a unique celebration at the university of maryland after they beat princeton's basketball team. president obama's niece plays for the tigers and he picked the tigers. maryland won. the team plays duke next and the coach said there are no hard feelings mr. president. you probably have all seen this video by now. this is villanovapiccilo player crying after her team lost. >> the girl is getting lots of

tracks. you can see the man was jumping up-and-down on the divider between the busy tracks yesterday. he refused to move to the platform. that's when officers used a taser on him twice. the man eventually got up and walked away. police did catch up with him. took him to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. an oregon father is facing multiple charges after he was caught blowing marijuana smoke into his infant child's mouth. a friend caught 22-year-old christopher klain on camera. witnesses have seen cling blow smoke at his child more than once. he faces up to 20 years in prison. police say the 1-year-old is safe now. they are not releasing that video. president obama says his health care overhaul is working better than anticipated. a number of people without health insurance fell by more than 11 million since that law was signed five years ago. that still leaves about 37 million part-time uninsured. that's the lowest level on

record in 15 years. in news for your health. a new report said more than half a million americans will develop alzheimer's this year. as many as half will never be told their diagnosis. the alzheimer's association said only 45% of people with dementia said they were given a diagnosis by their doctor. part of their reason could be because there's no straightforward test to diagnose the disease. 5.3 million americans have alzheimer's right now. by 2025, it's expected to reach more than 7 million americans. if you eat a diet high in whole grains and fiber you may live longer. researchers at harvard university said eating 10 grams of fiber a day is linked to a lower risk of death. it may reduce your risk of cancer heart disease, and diabetes. >> it keeps your tummies happy, too. >> we won't mention it. that will be that.

media. to change their privacy settings. to not put the information out there so it can be used by terror groups. >> tracie potts on capitol hill. thank you. today the new president of afghanistan they will lay a wreath at the tome of the unknown soldier. ash carter will join them marking the president's first ever official visit. yesterday he met with john kerry. later today he'll meet with president obama to discuss the amount of u.s. troops in afghanistan and the future role of the u.s. there. republican of all stripes are weighing in on texas senator ted cruz's bid for the white house. john cornyn declined to endorse him. utah senator mike leigh who teamed up with cruz said he's not ready to endorse anyone. however, cruz will likely get big tea party support. he could make a splash if he wins the texas primary.

he faces a huge potential roster of gop candidates. we expect big names to jump into the race in the coming weeks. later this morning on the "today" show cruz and his wife heidi will give their first interview since announcing their bid exclusively on the "today" show. you can see it after news 4 today. yet another twist in the political career of virginia delegate joseph morrissey. he may be in hot water for moving outside his district. he moved for a senate bid, however, the virginia constitution said he must live in the district to stay in office as a state delegate. or as he tells the washington post, he intends to keep his seat. this could reenergize officers who want him out. he recently resigned after a sex scandal and changed his mind and won the seat back in a special election. at the time he was completing a work-release jail sentence. lawmakers

and law enforcement from the district to new york will show their support for a national blue alert system. it would be similar to the amber alert but alert the public and media about violent criminals who injured or killed police officers. since two new york city police officers were killed last year, legislators have called for increased protections. maryland transportation leaders are expected to announce a drop in deadly crashes. later this morning, they will announce historic low traffic deaths based on preliminary numbers from 2014. they will show life saving devices and highlight a collaborative effort to cut down on the number of deadly and serious crashes across the state. breaking ground on two new buildings baldwin elementary and intermediary will serve students. it will accommodate growth in the school system. ground breaking begins at 11:00. -- 1:00 this afternoon.

you may be dealing with more pesky mosquitos this year. it seems a cold winter doesn't mean fewer mosquitos. it may mean the opposite. the fairfax county department of health in the county said that mosquitos are vibrant and can survive the below freezing weather. the colder weather only means that mosquitos have postponed laying their eggs. 5:41 is the time now. a live look outside this morning. this is our thermometer out on the storm team 4 weather deck. about 36 degrees here. >> and storm team 4 meteorologist chuck bell is at shady grove metro. he's out there on this chilly morning. >> did you describe mosquitos as vibrant. is this a mosquito dating site? >> vibrant and they love long walks on the beach. the whole nine yards. >> no kidding!
