A fatal vehicle crash has been reported in Sunnyvale Tuesday morning, according to the city’s Department of Public Safety.

It’s a lesson for all drivers when roads are saturated: do not skirt past closure signs and attempt to traverse flooded streets.

The crew of a Southern California police helicopter prevented what could have been a disastrous crash Saturday night by shining the chopper’s spotlight to warn an oncoming train of a car stalled on the tracks.

An Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper fatally shot an allegedly armed man Friday night when he attempted to fight troopers attempting to evacuate him and another man from a car stranded in floodwaters, authorities said.

Friends, family and strangers came out in droves to leave flowers, candles and notes of love to a mother and 14-month-old baby girl killed in Livermore over the weekend as they were celebrating a First Communion and were hit by a suspected drunk driver while on a sidewalk in front of the family party.

A frightening uptick in deaths on Caltrain tracks is motivating one Peninsula city to test out a new safety system.

Police said a pedestrian struck and killed by a vehicle in Martinez Friday night was a man about 60 years old.

Tracks reopened Tuesday morning after the driver of an SUV died after being struck by a Caltrain train in Menlo Park on Monday. Michelle Roberts reports.
