Investigators saying what led up to the crash . Reporter that part chp hasnt been abling to figure out. They do not believe alcohol was involved. This happened last niu before 10 00.

The other boy and girl were both taken to the hospital with major injuries. Here is the sergeant we spoke with earlier this morning. My heart goes out to the families.

President trump is spending part of his holidays once again attacking california and specifically targeting governor on the president s latest twitter tirade. Tom, the president always has a lot to say. Reporter good morning, marcus. Yes, he does. He seems to target california and its politicians quite a bit. In this latest twitter storm the president was really responding to fivedayold tweet from fox nation host where she was blaming Governor Newsom for not doing more and on his on Christmas Day the president retweeted the nearly weekold tweet and said, quote, governor gavin n. Has done a really bad job on taking care of the Homeless Population in california, threatening that, quote, if he cant fix the problem, the federal government will get involved. Now you might remember in september the president threatened federal intervention. If the cities didnt do a better job of cleaning up human waste from homeless people. Following a social Media Exchange on the issue then, the president and mayor defended their position in front of news cameras. If you look at San Francisco, its a total disaster. Are they going to ruin the cities and were going to get involved very soon on a federal basis if they dont clean up their act. I cant begin to pretend as if i know whats going on in the president s head. Ultimately i have a city to run. We have real challenges that we need to address and instead of being critical, he should be trying to help us. Reporter the mayor went on to show us on camera how all of San Franciscos storm drainage waste is treated in a waste Water Treatment facility and looking at social media this morning the president s attack on Governor Newsom might not be out of the blue. The governor has been critical on a number of issues. The governor has not yet responded at least on social media that weve seen this morning to the president s latest attack.

The homeowners say the drivers interwigs was right. It was a Christmas Gift for their 4yearold son. Very smart there. Porch pirates out there. Thats a big gift, too. Ive seen some stuff left on peoples porches and they put it right in front of the door. There are places you can hide it. Its nice to see he went the extra mile.
