remove the s.u.v. that slammed through a packed west newton restaurant, killing two people and injuring seven others. 7's victoria warren is at the scene. vicki, this morning investigators are expected back at the scene to determine what led up to this accident. >> victoria: the district attorney says at this point it's too early to tell why this driver didn't stop. take a live look behind me. you can see the pizza shop that this car just came crashing into. didn't stop at a light and just went right through the window. we know two people who died were customers. that car didn't stop until it hit the pizza oven inside. a car pulled out of the sweet tomatoes restaurant in newton after a tragic accident that left two customers dead, seven others rushed to the hospital. >> we have serious injuries. 6:00. the pizza place was dizzy. the district attorney says the car never stopped. witnesses say the building shook. >> the car had gone right through the restaurant, pushing the coulter all the way back to where the ovens are. >> the car was kind of elevated, so you could tell there was something, stuff underneath it, whether it was chairs or people. it was pretty bad. >> victoria: this man was just a few car lengths behind and says he doesn't know why the driver never stopped. he saw paramedics loading stretchers. >> they were just screaming. they were hurt. >> victoria: people who work nearby say they ran the help, but there was nothing they could do. >> it looked like something had exploded. and the vehicle was way inside, i mean way back. if you know the layout of the place, you can see the car was pushed way back in. there's broken glass, broken wood. >> victoria: they say this part of newton is very close-knit and they're sending prayers and love to everyone involved. >> it's a nightmare. i might know people in there that got hurt. everyone knows everybody else. certainly it's heart-wrenching. >> victoria: the district attorney's office has not released the names of the two customers who died at this pizza shop yesterday. their investigation continues. we do have an update this morning on some of the victims that were brought to the hospitals. two of the seven victims were expected to be released from the hospital last night, and we know at least one of the victims had serious injuries. live this morning in newton, victoria warren, 7news "today in new england." >> christa: all right, vicki. thank you. the other major story this morning, supertoday results coming in over night. let's begin with republicans. donald trump the big winner this morning claiming victories in seven states including massachusetts. texas senator ted cruz winning alaska overnight to go along with his home state and oklahoma. and marco rubio finishing first, picking up his first state, minnesota. as for the democrats, hillary clinton matches donald trump's haul of seven states won. securing victories in four states including his home state nearby in vermont. so a very tight race for the democrats here in massachusetts. in fact, the winner was declared hours after the polls closed. so here's a breakdown of the numbers with a few precincts left to report, clinton has 50%, sanders 49% in massachusetts. just 20,000 votes separating these two candidates. let's go to 7's byron barnett who is covering the democrats this morning. byron, it sounds like they're both looking ahead now. >> they certainly are. hillary clinton was the big winner oon the democratic side, winning the lion's share, but bernie sanders is putting out his message that his campaign lives to fight another day. >> what a super tuesday. >> byron: after a big super tuesday win, hillary clinton celebrated with supporters in one of the next battleground states, florida. and while not mentioning him by name, she clearly set her sights on donald trump. we have to make america whole. >> byron: clinton won seven of 11 states, including massachusetts and southern states, many with large minority populations such as arkansas, where she was once first lady. she talked about her strategy going forward. >> instead of building walls, we're going to break down barriers. the stakes in this election have never been higher. and the rhetoric we're hearing on the other side has never been lower. >> byron: vermont senator bernie sanders thanked his home super tuesday. >> it is great to be home. >> byron: sanders also won oklahoma, colorado and minnesota. >> at the end of tonight, 15 states will have voted. 35 states remain. and let me assure you that we are going to take our fight to every one of those states. squarely on the future and how his vision differs from the g.o.p. front-runner. >> do not allow the donald trumps of the world to divide us up. >> byron: but while sanders celebrates his super tuesday win, clinton increased her already-big lead in the delegate count. including superdelegates, clinton now has 1,000 compared to sanders, who has less than 400. live in the newsroom, i'm byron barnett, 7news "today in new england." >> christa: thanks, byron. here in massachusetts former president bill clinton visiting polls in west roxbury and new bedford on tuesday. in fact, you're looking at the scene in west roxbury. we received dozens of e-mails from voters who were concerned about the former president being too close to polling stations, even really making it difficult to vote in new bedford. so we reached out to the secretary of state, and his office is telling us the problem in new bedford was parking. no one actually had trouble voting. and he added that no election laws had been broken there. >> sarah: now to the republican race. precincts reporting this morning, front-runner donald trump comes in with 49% of the vote. john kasich and marco rubio trail with about 18% followed by ted cruz and ben carson. so trump is now threatening to break away from his g.o.p. rivals in the delegate chase. 7's nancy chen is in the control room now with more for thus morning. >> nancy: sarah, good morning to you. donald trump had a big side on the g.o.p. side, winning a majority of states on tuesday, but ted cruz and marco rubio also saw some success. they hope they can keep the momentum going as four more states get ready to vote on saturday. >> thank you very much, everybody. thank you. >> nancy: tuesday proved to be another big day for donald trump. the g.o.p. front-runner won seven contests on super tuesday. in his victory speech, trump focused his attention on a potential november showdown with hillary clinton. >> once we get all this finished, i'm going to go after the assumption she's allowed to run, which is a big assumption. i don't know that she's going to be allowed to run. and i think that's frankly going to be an easy race. >> nancy: senator ted cruz earned three victories tuesday, including a win inis home state of texas. he says candidates who haven't yet won contests should consider dropping out. >> as long as the field remains divided, donald trump's path to the nomination remains more likely. and that would be a disaster for republicans. [audience booing] for conservatives and for the nation. >> nancy: late tuesday night, marco rubio learned he won his first state as he finished first in minnesota's caucus. before learning about the results in minnesota, rubio spoke to supporters and continued looking forward. >> when i am president of the united states, we will not just say -- save the american dream, we will expand it to reach more people than ever. >> nancy: now, ohio governor john kasich has yet to win in vermont, and he says he will win his state's primary, that's going to be on march 15th. now, ben carson also doesn't have any victories yet, but he insists he has no plans of dropping out of the race. live in the control room, nancy chen, 7news "today in new england." >> sarah: stay with 7news on air and online for the latest voice your choice coverage. you can always get updates at 7news.com and the 7news mobile and tablet app. >> christa: so we're off to a very busy start here on this wednesday morning. still ahead, we're hearing from the wife of thread line driver as investigators release their final report on what caused the train the take off from the controls. >> sarah: and while you were sleeping, astronaut scott kelly returned to earth after spending nearly a year in space. we'll show you the moment he touched down. >> rob: and while you were sleeping, temperatures have been warming. we're tracking rain and only rain, but very heavy rain moving toward manchester. we'll track those showers and 60-plus degree weather coming up. >> danielle: good morning, everyone. roads looking good this morning. give yourself a little extra time this morning. if you're taking the "t," it is running on schedule. we'll be right back. i think we should've taken a left at the river. tarzan know where tarzan go! tarzan does not know where tarzan go. hey, excuse me, do you know where the waterfall is? waterfall? no, me tarzan, king of jungle. why don't you want to just ask somebody? if you're a couple, you fight over directions. it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. oh ohhhhh it's what you do. >> sarah: welcome back. 5:15 on this wednesday morning. it's feeling warm outside. >> christa: warm and wet. let's get a check of the forecast now with rob eicher. >> rob: it's only going to be hours sadly. as we head into the afternoon hours, things start the clear tumble. all day long gusty winds will be a threat, especially as we head into the afternoon hours. some of that cooler weather gets here. combine the breezy weather with cooler temperatures, and it will really feel chilly tomorrow morning. then we're talking about our next system, possibility of snow as we head into friday. look at the numbers, 52 in boston. 40 at midnight. so while you were sleeping, temperatures have been warming that means we're tracking rain. other than the highest elevations of green mountains and the white mountains of vermont and new hampshire, not expecting anything icy this morning. winds currently sustained on the order of 10, 15, 20, close to 30 sustained in nantucket. we're expecting frequent gusts on the order of 40-plus miles per hour, especially for the coastline as we head throughout the day today. so strong enough that you need to be concerned about the possibility of maybe some branches coming down as we head through this afternoon and into the evening hours. right now leading edge of light rain just making it to billerica. we have slightly heavier stuff behind that, and sudbury getting rain. these things, as you can probably tell, are zipping 60-plus miles per hour. these showers will come up on you very quickly. a case where it's all quiet and you get a batch of heavy rain. that's what's happening in manchester in the last couple minutes. really heavy rain moving in there. zoom on out so you get the bigger picture. pressure and a cold front. as this sweeps through, much cooler weather will start to move in here as you head into the afternoon hours. only expecting rain for the morning. by the time we get the lunchtime. rain is out of the picture. skies are clearing. the winds will be picking up and ushering in very chilly air. thursday morning, we're talking wind-chills down in the single digits likely. then let's walk through our next system here. this one will be a coastal storm that's going to kind of come up from the south. but the question is: does it hug the coast, or does it go more out into the ocean? right now looks like it's going to be a glancing blow with snow beginning in some areas friday morning and lasting off and on mainly for the south shore, the cape and the islands through the day on friday. so how much are we talking about snow-wise? maybe one to three inches for the cape and the islands. maybe a coating of snow for parts of norfolk and plymouth county. today 55 degrees in the morning hours. falling to the 30s as we head into the evening hours. tomorrow wake up, actual temperature will be in the teen, but it will feel more like single digits when you factor in that wind. high temperatures barely getting to the freezing mark thursday anthony again friday, a little bit of light snow, mainly for the cape and the islands. one to three inches not out of the question there. flurries for boston, flurries possibly in newton, as well. but that would be about it. then look at that. 64 degrees on tuesday. guys, something to look forward to. >> christa: okay. we like that. live and hope, right? new this morning we're hearing from the wife of the driver of that runaway red line train. you remember that story back in december. mbta officials say that he did, in fact, violate safety procedures causing that train to take off without a driver. and they say these photos that you're looking at show the cause. a microphone cord wrapped around a control dial. this investigation shows the driver also tampered with the dead man feature of the controls and did not secure a hand brake. his wife says what happened, though, is not entirely his fault. he's a good man. he's a great husband. train. you know, the supervisors told him to get off. how many people tell people to get off of a running train when there's nobody else to back them up? >> christa: so the train, as you know by now, took off there from the braintree "t" station with passengers on board but no driver. luckily none of the passengers were hurt. the train was eventually stopped. the report says to improve safety the "t" should install cameras inside the cab and change the design of the cars. the driver, meantime, david vasquez was hurt when the train hit him as it started moving on its own. the 25-year veteran has been fired, but his attorneys say he's appealing that decision. >> sarah: a woman with an incredible story of survival when a tornado rips through a part of louisiana. kyra johnson got caught right in the middle of the twister but was able to save herself. you see her running up to a the doors are locked. so she braces herself behind a soda machine while the tornado rages right through on top of her. >> i just braced myself right here between the coke machine. it wasn't even holding on. it was just to brace myself. >> sarah: oh, my word. just two minutes before the tornado hit her, johnson took the video of the storm from a distance. she said she didn't even notice the tornado coming, though. nasa astronaut scott kelly touching down on earth last night. the commander spent 11 months at the international space station, the longest any u.s. astronaut has been in space. you can see him giving the thumbs-up after being removed from the spacecraft in kazakhstan. two other russian astronauts returned with him. they all underwent field tests immediately. kelly says he is feeling good. it must be such a bizarre feeling, though, to be in space floating around for almost a earth with gravity. >> christa: which is interesting that you mention it, because that's why he was there, to talk about the effects on the human body for that length of time, comparing them of course to his twin brother. but i loved what his twin brother, a retired astronaut, also said, because they're comparing the two. he got the fun job. i got the easy job, just kind of hanging out here, you know. ism right, right. >> christa: it's 5:21. new hampshire is reporting the state's first confirmed case of the zika virus. how health officials say a woman contracted the disease. >> sarah: and a bizarre burglary case in bellingham. wait until you hear who two brothers are accused of stealing from. put more fun in your day with ice-cream-flavored coffees at dunkin' donuts. go for delicious flavors like butter pecan, cookie dough, or new pistachio. enjoy one today.

beat the garden. lee stempniak and john-michael liles suited up for boston. and rhode island native noel achari made his nhl debut. but a familiar face provided the big play as patrice bergeron scored

wet spots on the roadway, as temperatures fall that could turn to icy spots. 54 currently in boston. 35 the cool spot in jaffrey. so everybody above freezing, in fact well above freezing from the
