man's injuries are critical. news4's jackie bensen is live near connecticut avenue and l street downtown with new information about how this all happened. jackie? >> reporter: well, jim, the witness told me this was the most awful thing she had ever seen. >> i was getting ready to cross connecticut avenue, and i saw that i didn't have enough time. so i stopped at the corner. and i just saw a man run out, as many of us do, because we're always rushing. >> reporter: in a telephone interview, 23-year-old ally tells news4 she saw the man with the briefcase attempt to cross just before the light was to change. then she heard the siren. >> i'm not sure if the officer was chasing the car, there was a car in front of him. i'm not sure what the deal with that is. but the siren and lights were definitely on. and yeah, it was as i was saying earlier, it's one of the most upsetting things i think i have ever witnessed. >> reporter: the police cruiser

came to a stop after crashing into the median. allie says she called 911. and officers, including one on a bicycle were there even before she hung up. investigators from the d.c. department's major crash unit shut down the intersection for hours, documenting the scene. >> ordinarily it appears sideswiped the pedestrian, knocked the pedestrian down and the police car went up on the median. >> reporter: the police officer was injured when the cruiser crashed into the median. he was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital with injuries described as nonlife threatening. now d.c. police recently targeted an intersection just one block from here for jaywalking enforcement. in one hour's time period, they wrote 200 tickets. and as the young woman talked about it in the interview, to take that extra time in d.c., so important. live in northwest, jackie bensen, news4. back to you. >> thank you, jackie. the d.c. fire department says it will take a closer look at the brakes on all of its fire trucks. they made that announcement

today after learning that faulty brakes may have played a role in this crash between a fire truck and a police cruiser. this happened a week ago on porter street northwest. the fire department initially told news4 that the truck had an alignment problem, and that the brakes were working. but a final police report says a braking component may have caused the fire truck to veer into the police car. a firefighter and police officer were both injured in this crash. turning to the weather now, we had a chilly start out there today. but doug, it's going to feel downright cold later this week. >> it really is, guys. some areas this morning down into the upper 30s. dulles coming in at 39 degrees. we saw plenty of sunshine, though, and that helped the temperatures to warm greatly across the area. even into the mid- to upper 70s. 75 in d.c. 77 in warrenton. 77 leesburg as well as frederick. a great afternoon. our monday was spectacular. but look what is coming our way. here is a front. a lot of rain and even some thunderstorms back to our west. that front is moving our way now. we will see that come in during the day tomorrow. so we're talking about rain

chances. the nice weather, it gets out of here. not just chilly, it could be downright cold this weekend. wait until you see how cold we might get, coming up. >> thanks, doug. new video tonight shows a different angle of the confrontation that led police to use a taser on a texas city councilman. it's one of four videos now being examined by a district attorney. to decide if the prairie view texas officers used excessive force. 26-year-old councilman jonathan miller was tasered after he interrupted the officers who were questioning some of his friends in front of his apartment complex. >> officers told you no less than nine times to put your hands behind your back. why didn't you do it? >> i was being arrested for i didn't know what. you know, i didn't know how i was interfering. i didn't think i was interfering and when the officer asked to step back, i stepped back. >> miller is charged with resisting arrest. the police department says it stands behind its officers. an tasted living facility is

refusing to answer our questions tonight about the death of one of its residents. the family of 80-year-old lubin phipps has hired an attorney now who today accused woodmore house assisted living on homicide in phipps' death. phipps suffered from dementia, you might recall. he was found dead in watkins regional park three weeks after he disappeared during a picnic with other woodmore residents. >> we trusted woodmore assisted living with our father. and we had hoped that it would keep him safe and they would provide good care. and it's obvious that that didn't happen. >> the lawyer for the family wants criminal charges brought against the assisted living facility. after a summer dominated by republican debates and by donald trump, tomorrow will be our first chance to see all the democrats who are running for president on one stage. the five candidates will face off in las vegas. expect hillary clinton to face plenty of questions about her e-mails and benghazi. for former maryland governor

"the washington post" calls it ludicrous and an outrageous injustice. the paper responding today to the espionage conviction of

reporter jason rezaian in iran. rezaian reportedly faces 20 years in prison and has 20 days to appeal. and while we know he is accused of espionage, it's not clear what the specific charges against him are. some experts believe iran is trying to use the reporter as a political bargaining chip with western countries. for the first time last year, more people died from drug overdoses than car crashes in virginia. the commonwealth says tonight there were more than 725 overdoses in 2014, and there were 700 deaths on virginia roads. compare that to 2009 when virginia had 500 deadly drug overdoses and 750 traffic deaths. virginia attorney general mark herring blames the change on aize in heroin, prescription drug and synthetic drug abuse. montgomery county could be the next to require paid family leave in our area. the county is using a federal grant to study the issue.

at this protest. >> chip is not missing. somebody knows where chip is. >> reporter: back out here in rockville, these protesters tell me that they will not give up. they will continue to demonstrate to bring k-9 chip home. shomari stone, news4. next at 11, breaking the law live online. >> i am super drunk. >> reporter: cops able to use an app to track down a drunk driver. daring rescue. a total stranger runs into a burning house to save a family's dog. >> that roof is going to go. and biohackers implanting microchips under their own skin. >> we are trying to go one step beyond what the natural body can do. >> how similar technology could actually save lives. the. i'm melissa mollet with your first 4 traffic. first 4 traffic. tonight westbound toll

a heroic fire rescue pulled off by a total stranger. this cell phone video shows a man entering a burning home in tennessee to save a dog trapped inside. the roof collapsed while the good samaritan was still in there, but he made it out with the dog in his arms. while neighbors tended to the animal, that unsung hero got back in his car and took off. nobody was home when that fire started. it may be one of the first ever duis streamed live on social media, and it ended with a florida woman getting arrested. >> oh, my gosh, i didn't know i would get this many people.

i am super drunk in the usa. >> whoa. that's 23-year-old whitney beal of lakeland, florida. she broadcast her entire drunk driving trip home saturday live on periscope. the video shows her saying several times as you heard there, she is drunk. thankfully two people watching her live stream called 911. they not only reported it, but explained to police how that app could help track her down. >> within minutes they found her driving, flat front tirement she hit the curb again. they pulled her over, and it was just obvious from that point she was intoxicated. they went through the test. she failed and went to jail. >> the woman was released on jail. thankfully no one was hurt during her ride home. imagine being able to communicate with your smartphone through a tiny implant if your body. to some it sounds kind of scary. but to others it's the future of technology, and maybe future of medicine too. nbc's tammy leitner introduces us to biohackers, pushing the

limits of science and the human body. >> i can pick up small metal objects like screws and paper cups. >> reporter: he goes by the name alex smith. alex considers himself a cyborg. part human, part machine. >> have i five different implants. one in the forearm, the become of the arm, two in the hand here and one in the finger. >> reporter: this australian can open doors with the swipe of his hand, take his internal body temperature and unlock his smartphone, all with microchips smaller than a grain of rice that he implanted in his own body. alex is a biohacker. those who hack into their body and implant devices that pushes the body beyond its limits. >> we are trying to go one step beyond what the natural body can do. we want to have a be able to interface with computers. >> reporter: while extreme, similar technology could be the future of medicine and a benefit to mankind. >> we can measure heart rate, variability, respiration rate.

mesh-like electrodes. >> reporter: as a biomedical device engineer, rogers and his team push the boundaries of medicine in licensed labs. biohackers like alex smith push the bound relatives what is socially acceptable in the race to make their own contribution to science. >> we don't want the wait for the future happen. we want to take it in our own hands. make the future happen now. >> that was tammy leitner reporting. and that future may come sooner than we think. the electronic tattoo designed at the university of illinois will be available to purchase by the end of the year. >> pretty amazing. >> sounds like science fiction. but there are so many interesting applications that that could have, particularly in medicine. >> so true. >> it's getting chilly out there tonight, doug. >> chilly out tonight. but i tell you. what last night and really this past week it was quite cold. many areas down into the 30s. dulles was 39 degrees. tonight not as cool. but a little bit on the cool side. we're waiting for some showers out there. during the day tomorrow.

but the real cold comes this weekend. wait until you see these weekend numbers. it's going to be chilly. right now, though, 63 degrees under some clear skies. winds out of the south at 7 miles per hour. take a look at the numbers around the region. 52 in fredrick. 60 towards fredericksburg. i do not think numbers will go down too much more tonight. we've got some clouds beginning to move. in that should help put a stop to the fall as far as temperatures go. bus stop tomorrow morning, take the umbrella. temperatures around 58 degrees. most in the low to mid-50s. but we will see a few showers. i'm not expecting a lot of rain. but it may be just enough to get the umbrella up for about five, ten minutes or so. 3:00, 4:00 in the afternoon, mild, temperature around 75. again, could see a shower here during the day. but most of the day will be dry. on the radar, there is nothing out there. we are dry as a bone. and we continue to be throughout the next few hours. but here is what we're watching. you can see the front coming through. and notice, there is some thunderstorms associated with this. but once it hits the mountains, it's really not going to do a whole lot. the main storm itself, look at this, rotating up towards the great lakes.

this is a little too far to the north to really give this front a good punch of moisture. so it's not going to have a whole lot when it comes through. take a lock at future weather. it pretty much tells the exact same story. 8:00 tomorrow morning, notice the enhanced cloud cover back to the west. maybe a shower or two here. but you notice no rain showing up there. is a few showers back towards the west. but nothing here. here it's 10:00. we've got the clouds, and maybe even a break in the clouds during the afternoon. only to see a chance with the showers return during the afternoon say 3:00, 4:00, 5:00. a couple of showers. most of the area dry. do not think tomorrow is going to have a lot of rain at all. tomorrow will actually be a pretty nice day all in all. low temperatures tonight not even close to where they were last night. 53 gaithersburg. 51 frederick. 58 in washington. temperatures may actually go up a little bit as the clouds move in. your hour-by-hour forecast tomorrow, 60 degrees. slight chance of showers tomorrow of during the afternoon. 72 by 12:00. 75 by 4:00. then that front moves through. and then it starts to get cooler. look at the numbers. 75 tomorrow.

but then only 6 on wednesday. 69 on thursday. that's close to the average. the average high this time of year is around 69 degrees. so we'll be a little bit below that coming up on friday with a high of 67. and then another front moves through. and look at the weekend. high of only 60 on saturday. only 57 on sunday. and that comes with plenty of sun. but wait, folks. how about this? how about the cool temperatures on sunday morning? look at those numbers. 32 in martinsburg. 36 leesburg. 38 in gaithersburg. and 40 in d.c. a very cold start to our day on sunday. and i think it could even be colder on monday. look at monday. down to 37. that's in the city. on monday morning. so get out the jackets and it's time for the coats. the jackets may not be enough. >> maybe the firewood too. >> there you go. >> i thought than tonight. >> thank you, doug. coming up, some shocking news with a familiar face down in college football. in college football. j

to head coach jay gruden. >> you should never, ever get used to losing. and it should hurt every time and it should hurt more the next time than the last time. i think our guys are starting to feel that. they understand the work they're putting in here and the effort on the field. when you give maximum effort on the field and you don't got rewarred with a victory, it hurts. we have enough good players on our football team to win games on the road against good teams and good opponents. we just didn't get it down. down to college football. shocking news tonight. according to multiple reports, south carolina head coach, the old ball coach steve spurrier is retiring effective immediately. he is in his 11th season with the gamecocks. he is the all time winningest head coach. this season they have struggled, 0-4 in conference play. we all remember spurrier's short time as head coach for the redskins where he stepped down after his second season with the team. not a good nfl coach, steve spurrier, but a great college coach. >> they love him down there. >> down in south carolina and

florida too yeah. >> enjoy retirement. baseball scores and updates for you. the rangers and royals, they tied up their respective series at two games apiece. also, the cubs beat the cardinals. they're up 2-1 in that series. let's talk some hockey for a moment. the capitals have reloaded their roster for this season. we all saw that saturday night in the season opener. but one player's absence is still being felt from this past weekend. that's nicolas backstrom. he might be the most underrated player in all of the hockey leagues. backstrom out of his powder blue noncontact practice jersey, back in his normal red. he is working his way back from hip surgery. hasn't been cleared for full contact just yet. backstrom said he will meet with the surgeon some time this week to figure out when he can return. also alex ovechkin hosting players from the hockey federation. it's the second year in a row he has helped out with the practice session with this group. he spent time with drills and
