No, i wasnt aware until, my nephews dad called, the Mayors Office said in a statement the city will continue to support ousd to reduce the number of violent incidents on their School Campuses. This says the celebrations went off without a hitch. The attention on the hard work of these graduates gia vang today in the bay a lot of people are hitting the roads this memorial day Holiday Weekend, and so too is the california Highway Patrol. A live look outside on 101 in san jose looks like a lot of people are either already out of town or not awake yet. The statewide maximum enforcement period went into effect yesterday and it goes until late monday night. So what that means is you can expect to see extra officers on patrol. Last memorial day weekend, the chp made more than 1100 dui arrests. Thats an arrest roughly every four minutes. And the Holiday Weekend got off to a deadly start in the south bay. The chp is asking witnesses to come forward if they saw this crash. It happened between a honda sedan and a big rig truck around friday. Around 11 friday morning in. Investigators say the driver of the sedan was going the wrong way north on southbound 101 near blossom hill road. He then hit the big rig head on.

After further investigation, homicide unit officers arrested ley and booked him into jail on charges of murder. A motive has not yet been released. This marks san joses 14th homicide of the year. Calling for action city politicians and Community Groups are angered over san jose Regional Medical centers plan to close its trauma unit. Theyre now taking their complaints to the state attorney general, rob bonta. The issue is whether the hospital is putting profits over people, today in the bay Jocelyn Moran reports. San jose Regional Medical center is located in East San Jose. In february, we learned of its plans to shut down its Trauma Center services in august, prompting concern from residents, political leaders and Community Groups. This closure is based on one goal more profits for their shareholders, and its a direct attack on our communities. Theyre asking attorney general rob bonta to investigate hca healthcare, who runs the hospital. It operates on a for profit basis and has said it will close certain Hospital Services because, in its view, not enough people use them. The closest hospitals with Trauma Centers, then, would be at Santa Clara Valley medical center, about eight miles away, or stanford hospital, more than 20 miles away. Well, what we found is that if you were experiencing a closure, a Trauma Center closure, and you had to drive more than 15 minutes away from your original, Trauma Center, that your mortality increased by 21. Doctor renee shaw, with ucsf has extensively studied the effects of Trauma Centers, closing. Shes also looked into why they close. She says theres evidence showing hospitals tend to close Emergency Services like Trauma Centers, more often in areas with low income or poorly insured residents. Hospitals choose to provide Certain Services in more affluent areas, and Trauma Services can be very Revenue Generating if its located in an area where theres, quote, good patient payer mix, meaning that that Patient Population has commercial insurance. In a response to nbc bay areas request for comment, hca pointed out that Regional Medical serves about 225 patients a day and that Emergency Services need to be prioritized, including adding 10 million that will boost emergency beds from 43 to 63. We asked doctor shaw about the differences between a Trauma Center and an emergency department. Trauma centers have the ability to take a patient to the operating room when they need to go in the middle of the night. Theres certain capability that a Trauma Center has that regular Emergency Departments do not have. The south Bay Labor Council says it talked with bontas office, adding that the attorney general has offered his support in san jose. Jocelyn moran, nbc, bay area news. The push to recall oakland mayor shane tao has hit a milestone. The group behind the recall now says it has enough signatures to put it on the ballot. The Group Oakland unified to recall shang tao or oust, says its collected more than 30,000 signatures for its petition. They only needed 25,000 to get it on the november ballot. Those supporting the recall say mayor taos policy are to blame for many of oaklands problems. Those include rampant crime, business closures and the loss of the oakland as. Shes been dismissive.
