When she took an almost neverending tumble. We begin tonight with an update on this hor horrific wreck in gibson ton, a man is head to have been driving under the influence when he crashed into half a dozen vehicles including a deputy on a motorcycle. And he has serious injuries after being dragged and pinned under another vehicle. We are live at the Sherrifs Office with details on an arrest in this case now six weeks later, but first, haley, how is that deputy doing . The deputy is improving, that is all the Sherrifs Office can tell us but that is great news considering how terrible that cash was. Ken Kenneth Cooper the third is blown airbags and twisted metal. I just cannot believe how lucky i was. A flatbed truck out of control slammed into six weeks including a motorcycle officer on gibson ton drive. He careened into the cop on the motorcycle and then just plowed right into the other vehicles at the light. The deputy was dragged 150 feet from his motorcycle, pinned under two trucks. It took more than an hour to to get him out. I was scared he would not make it and to hear he did, he was very relieved. Now we are learning that the cause of all of this injury and destruction . Driving under the influence. They drew blood from Kenneth Cooper the driver of the was under the influence of a chemical substance. I represented people in the past who lost their lives because of d. U. I. Drivers or who lost a leg, and no amount of money puts you back together. The thought that this cash never should have happened leaves drivers and passengers wondering why. All of the people injured and the vehicles totaled all because of this guy not thinking straight. Its kind of pathetic. Tad cooper is Cooper Cooper has a history of arrests in the county,. Thank you, haley. Well looking outside the rain coming back. Paul delgado is tracking a system that is expected to bring us even more weather tomorrow. This is a twoday event. We have had multiple bands of rain move on shore, and we had another band come in late today and now theres been a bit of a break around tampa bay. Which is spotty light rain but you look offshore and its increasing in coverage and its all moverring on moving on shore. Tonight no matter how you slice it is going to be a damp and cool night. There is more rain offshore and even rain on the backside of the cold front and its still mississippi. The process to get sunshine is not going to happen tomorrow, but not until friday, maybe tomorrow night, as the front winds above this cold front, are blowing parallel to the front. Until the winds turn northwest and can kick this to the front and bring in some of the die dry air back here, well stay with clouds and rain. Well have that plus a new frost forecast for the weekend, all coming up. Back to you. And they saw much more than rain this morning. At least one person was injured when an ef1 tornado ripped through brevard county. We see the remarkable video that illustrates the power of the wind. Whoa holy sh a viewer captures cell phone video of a tornado sweeping across his backyard. That is a mini tornado coming by, ladies and gentlemen. Later on he showed the video i only went out because my cell phone said there was a tornado coming and i was like no way. Who cannot believe their eyes. See that . Oh my gosh another viewer shoots the rainwrapped twisting on their cell phone from ideas their car, the tornado leaving a trail of destruction in its path. Trees snapped and a semiblown on semi blown on to its side, and winds knocking this Coconut Creek bus on to its side. Wednesday night pam mcdonalds unsure of what she would come home and find. Someone said there was a tornado in the area and i didnt think they were sears. All serious. Yeah, yeah, the avocado tree is down, but it could have been worse. Cars flipped and tents ripped apart, a powerful tornado moving everything in its path. Incredible to think in all of that om only two people were injured. Tonight deputies are investigating a stunning incident at a local hospital. A man was taken to a hospital after a Traffic Accident and it was there deputies say he committed suicide. Why deputies want you to know that this happened. Ordinarily we do not report on suicide but this one deputies say is so important because there were so many people in the emergency room being treated and also working there when the gunshot rang out. It happened yesterday at 6 30 when adams asked a nurse if he could have some is privacy. When she stepped out of the room she heard a gunshot and came back in and saw he had shot after the car wreck he was transported to the hospital by Hernando County fire rescue and it is not Standard Practice for them to check for weapons before being taken to the hospital unless a person was already placed under arrest, and that would have been done by deputies. An important reminder for everyone to keep Mental Health on the mind. If i think someone is contemplating that, reach out, there are many, many, many other options. Dont do it. They frequently review them and make changes as needed. They would not say whether this incident would lead them to make changes but its important to balance safety. They found painkillers in his car but could not immediately and does race play a role in police stopping stopping drivers for seatbelt violations . A new report suggests it does. The aclus finding say if youre a black driver in florida you are twice as likely to get a seatbelt violation than a white driver in florida. The aclu says that report coming from statewide Law Enforcement data and they also accuse some Police Agencies including Tampa Police Department of not reporting their data which they say violates state law. In 2016 it says tpd gave out 575 seatbelt violations to black drivers compared to 549 to white the aclu says its a big problem when there is a disparity of enforcement between races. Tpd says its denying any charges of profiling. If there is this kind of disparity between white and black drivers, it raises concerns about our justice system. As for tpd and its data reporting the Department Says it does report its citation data to the state but it will reexamine the form mat it format and only sees the issue of sealt seatbet seatbelts as a safety issue. They spotted two men in a uhaul truck and said it was the same one used in several burglaries in lake and osceola counties. When deputies tried to pull them over, they took off but they could only reach 60 Miles Per Hour and after driving two miles and realizing that the Police Cruiser behind them was not falling parabehind, falling far behind, they stopped. Deputies found stolen items and shotgun shells in the back, and they were arrested. In the words of Michael Jackson, it doesnt matter if youre black of white, but does it . The controversy over a white actor being cast in a new movie as the king of pop. The human body is pretty dang resilient. Heres moment when she walked away from a 1,000foot fall, and the boston bombing case unsealed. Hundreds of documents released today, and they show you what happened in the during this extended visit from your extended all you want is a peaceful moment to stream your show.

Neverbeforeseen documents in the case have been released. View of the case against tsnayev. According to newly released files he was in Critical Condition with serious gunshot wounds to his head, face, throat, jaw, left hand and both legs. His left eye was sutured closed and a tracheotomy made it impossible for him to speak to investigators but after surgery he told Law Enforcement that he and his brother acted alone. Is my brother alive . I know you said he is. Are you lying . Is he alive . One person can tell you that. Both sides in the case have agreed to the release of 600 files. In my review i found crime scene notes and his fingerprints and subpoena returns and we know that Law Enforcement were very called in the 11th hour to try to save him from the death penalty. Prosecutors railroad clearly prosecutor were clearly concerned about her testimony. Saying that at least one of the jurors were recognize prejohns name would influence the juror. He was sentenced to death and is currently being held at a maximum security prison in colorado. His request for a new trial has been denied. And one of the victims a young dancer who lost her leg in the bombing says she will run to raise money for a Nonprofit Group that gives money to amputees. This year she is determined to the 120th Boston Marathon is coming up april 18. Well, we have heard her name before, the woman cleared of all accusations against her during the Casey Anthony child . But she could not escape this charge. Gone gonzales claimed that the young mom ruined her name by claiming she kidnapped her baby, and now she has been charged with stealing a credit card from a young woman where she worked and she is charged with grand theft. And a pro skiing is opening up about her experience of falling 1,000 feet down an alaskan mountainside. It happened last spring. Angel definitely had an angel on her side. Hit a patch of ice, lost her balance and rolled down the mountain, on and on and amazingly she walked away with only two sprained fingers and a few bruises. At first i tried to slow myself with my arms and i realized i was going too fast and i was not going to slow down any time soon and i covered my face and head with my arms and tried to relax the rest of my body, and nothing was going through my mind except i hope i stop as soon as possible. That must have felt like an eternal to eternity to her. And the video was just released this past week, and we thought we had seen it before but it was that a male skier had. And i thought that i would try skying but it just goes to show that gravity is undefeated. Wow. And she is lucky she didnt hit any of those rocks. Circles. We need water for water skiing out there. Parkway and and it just keeps on going, too. Its a mazing amazing to watch. And still a lot of people on the beach despite the fact that we had clouds and rain pretty much all day, and that just ultimately is a cloudy damp and dismal wednesday with temperatures all day staying in the 60s and it wont be long before that view is filled with people. We warm up quickly in florida. High is 70 and the morning low is 63 and the record high just 82 set back in 1974 and the record 76, set in 1975. 1. 28 in the rain bucket today, and this frontal system is close to us and if youre thinking about sunshine tomorrow, here is the problem. Until we get winds above the front to blow northeast to northwest to southeast, the drying out process is going to take another day. Im not going to say its going to rain all the time, but it will stay mostly cloudy with some rain coming in from the gulf. The water vapor imagery shows the winds blowing parallel and and will come our way friday and so friday will be a completely different kind of day, filled with sunshine and temperatures in the 60s. And here we go again. None of this is especially heavy, no lightning, just a damp, cool night. And we have rain around the south of tampa bay, and light rain into pinellas, and punta gorday. Arcadia has rain, and it continues several hundred miles offshore beyond the range of radar. And it has a ways to go, folks, even continuing on the backside, and what this really is showing is a continuation of rain around noon tomorrow, and by late in the day although there is lingering cloud cover, the vast majority will have shifted to our southeast. The day on friday and i think friday is going to be a good goodlooking day. We are in the 60s now, brooksville 65, and here is the cold front in blue. Watch it as it lit literally creeps down the state. And its not moving fast. This is tomorrow, 6 00 a. M. , still south of us but still bands of rain and this is 9 00 a. M. , noon, still south of us but still a sea of clouds over us and by later on in the evening we start getting breaks begin. Its got a ways to go. Tomorrow night, damp and dismal and 65. We stay mostly cloudy for all of tomorrow, and damp and 68. On friday, as i mentioned a completely different day. Sunshine and pleasantly cool and that sets us up really nicely po the weekend. Both days look good. It will be in the 60s for gasparilla saturday and sunday watch for a cold front arriving [ scanner beeping ] sir, could you step aside . Sir . Come on. You know who i am. Progressive insurance . Uh, i save people an average of over 500 when they switch . Did you pack your own bags . Oh right the name your price tool. It shows people policy options [ scanner warbling ] crazy that a big shot like me would pack his own bags, right . [ chuckles ] so, do i have the right to remain handsome . [ chuckles ] wait. 3 3 3 new tonight, social media is blog up over a new british tv comedy, that centers around Michael Jackson. And people are shocked by the choice of an actor to play the king of pop. What is up, headcrack . Hey, what is going on . Youre right and the internet is buzzing. This sounds like a weird joke. Liz taylor and Marlon Brando and Michael Jackson get into a car, but this is based off of true events the day of 9 11 where we were trying to flee new york all three of these people jumped in a car and went on a road trip and made it as far as ohio before booking a flight and getting out of there, but this is a stretch. Look at how light Michael Jackson was around that time, its actually also kind of believable. Im here for it, its going to be interesting. I saw joseph feins talking about this saying he was also shocked to get the roll but as you referenced it sounds like a fantastic voyage when you have the three in a car trying to flee new york after 9 11 and i imagine people will watch just to see what happens there. If they can stretch it out and make 10 episodes auto of this out of thisand put it on netflix, i would totally watch. This comes at a time when we have criticism of the oscars over the lack of diversity, and everyone is wondering what chris rock will say in his monologue and just how far he will go in addressing this. The president pretty much knows that chris rock is going to go for this. That is why they got him to do it, he is not going to pull punches. He is going to talk about things that everybody expects chris rock to talk about. And he is going to deliver as always. Man, i cant wait. And seems like it would be good for the academy if chris rakes them over the cools and coals and takes hem to task. They want that, right . I think this is going to be one of the mostwatched oscars and one of the newest players of star wars who plays finn in the force awakens he tried to have a normal date but it didnt end up normal. We have the number one movie in the world and its kind of hard to fly under the radar. He is still young making its way through hollywood, his first really breakthrough american hit or its global at this point but he met a young lady at new york city and they were hanging out in times square and she was like john, what do you do . And he pointed at a billboard and he happened to be on it but for john it actually made the rest of the date awkward and he says this newfound fame is making it difficult for him. Thanks for keeping it real. You can catch him and the rest of the gang week nights after our news at 11 35.
