because of smoke inhalation? was it something else? >> the fiery crash happened two weeks ago on foothill road when the family driving electric car, that electric car hit a tree. good evening everyone. i'm julie julie haener and i'm mike mibach. >> the complaint filed over the crash with the national highway traffic safety administration has generated even more questions. new at six ktvu is crystal bailey looked into the complaint. joins us now here in studio with what she learned. crystal. well mike, the loss of the entire george family in pleasanton continues to impact the community as they mourn and search for those answers. >> but tonight, there are more questions than there are answers. as we dig into the complaints against the car they were driving a vietnamese electric car. it was a tragic crash in the quiet town of pleasanton where tarun george, his wife rincey and their sons aaron and rohan lost their lives. friends of the family say they were heading home from a birthday party when the electric car, a 2023 vinfast vf8, crashed into a tree, causing a massive blaze. this video from the

manufacturer's youtube shows the same car they were driving. two weeks later, a complaint filed with the national highway traffic safety administration indicates that the george family did not own the vietnamese electric car. they were borrowing it from a coworker. the owner filed the complaint last week, saying before the crash, they noticed the steering wheel was automatically veering to the right, even when lane assist was turned on. and on april 24th, the complaint says the owner was concerned that the failure recurred, while the george family was driving. the federal agency has eight other complaints about the vinfast model dating back to last summer. at least three of them mentioned steering and lane assist issues. phil recht, an attorney who formerly worked as chief counsel for nhtsa, says patterns usually catch the agency's eye if it sees multiple complaints about an activity or a performance issue that appear to be similar, and particularly if they create severe risk. >> these are the circumstances under which nhtsa will conduct

an initial or preliminary evaluation. >> pleasanton police confirmed george was driving a vinfast that first hit a pole on foothill road, then slammed into a tree, causing a fire. first responders had trouble extinguishing. well, that's not uncommon in ev fires, police say. this fire reignited after it was put out. when we spoke to witnesses right after the crash, one man, who lives off foothill road told us he heard what he thought was multiple explosions on that night. >> i heard like a big crash sound boom. every five to 10s. they boom, boom. so maybe around 5 to 8 times. >> in a statement from vinfast, a spokesperson says vinfast is aware of this tragic accident and our hearts go out to the family. the authorities are currently investigating the cause of the accident and will share their findings when their work is completed. >> it's really too early to tell exactly what was at play in this crash. >> pleasanton police say the crash is still under investigation. the alameda

county coroner's office says they're not done with the autopsy report at this time. the national highway transportation safety administration has not begun a federal investigation. crystal bailey, ktvu, fox two news. >> thank you. federal auto safety investigators are now looking deeper into a december recall of more than 2 million teslas. now, at the time, the company said it needed to update its partially automated driving system. federal investigators say since that update, there have been 20 reported crashes involving the autopilot feature. the national highway traffic safety administration is asking for detailed answers and documents showing what tesla has done to solve the issue. tesla has until july first to respond. >> a fire blew through an apartment building in oakland this afternoon. it was first reported around 130 at the corner of sixth avenue and east eighth street. dozens of firefighters responded. they managed to get the flames under control in about 90 minutes, but the flames spread to a nearby

single family home. both buildings sustained significant damage. no injuries were reported. firefighters say the building where the fire originated is vacant, but has a history of people trespassing. seven adults and five children have now been displaced. the cause of that fire is still under investigation. tonight also in san francisco right now, a man is in custody after police say he hit two people with his car in two separate incidents. one of the victims, a 14 year old girl who was walking to school. ktvu s christien kafton, has this story. >> a wild chase and two hit and runs ended with a collision here at embarcadero and green street in san francisco. but police say the story started here at the intersection of jones and market. at around 7:50 a.m. police say a driver in a white mustang was spinning donuts in this intersection and collided with a worker from urban alchemy, then sped away. police responded to the area and say the victim was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. investigators also say that a witness was able to provide

detailed information about the white mustang, including a license plate number. >> later on, at approximately 920, officers observed the suspect vehicle continuing continuing to drive recklessly and committing multiple vehicle violations. >> police say those officers tried to pull over the mustang, but instead of stopping, the driver sped off with officers in pursuit. that pursuit led to francisco middle school, where the driver of the mustang hit a 14 year old girl crossing in the crosswalk. the pursuing officers stopped to help that girl. she too, was taken to the hospital with what we're hearing were non-life threatening injuries. san francisco unified schools released a statement reading in part, quote, this morning, a francisco middle school student was struck by a car while walking in the crosswalk on their way to class at around 9:30 a.m. the student was in stable condition and with their family. officers say continuing to pursue the mustang was too dangerous, the driver too erratic and too careless. >> it's based on the fact that the individual fled the scene after hitting a pedestrian, and

continued to drive recklessly and failed to stop at another vehicle collision involving a juvenile pedestrian. he posed a risk to the public. >> officers say the suspect ultimately crashed at embarcadero and green, about three quarters of a mile from where he struck that 14 year old girl. officers say they were then able to arrest him. investigators say he, too, was transported to the hospital with injuries they say were not related to the multiple crashes in which they say he was involved. at this point, investigators aren't releasing the name of the driver or saying where he is from. they say multiple felony charges are pending in san francisco. christien kafton ktvu fox two news. >> demonstrators at uc berkeley joined in a national effort calling on a cease fire in gaza and an end to the invasion of rafah. sky fox over sproul plaza as the protest got underway just around 4:00 this afternoon two hours ago, people there have been camping out in support of

reporting by the associated press and statements from universities and law enforcement. >> israeli forces say they have taken control of the rafah border crossing in southern gaza. the israeli military insists this is a limited operation, but that there's no word on how long it will take. the closed border means that un humanitarian teams in gaza will run out of fuel by tomorrow. the biden administration says it opposes a large scale military operation in rafah, and warns it would risk the safety of more than 1 million palestinian ions who are taking refuge there. the israeli operation into rafah came just hours after hamas said it would accept a ceasefire proposal brokered by egypt and qatar. israel insists it does not meet their demands. and while the white house is urging israel not to move forward with the rafah offensive, president biden is doubling down on his support for israel and strongly condemning anti-semitism. fox news rebecca kaster reports now

causing divisions on capitol hill. and some democrats are calling on president biden to take a tougher stance. >> my great hope is that we that the united states and that the president does not allow this horrific tragedy to happen with us support. >> it appears that hamas has consolidated itself in that one section of rafah. this is an opportunity for israel to take out that infrastructure. as the israeli military continues its operation in rafah, delegations from israel and hamas are in egypt, continuing discussions on a proposed cease fire. >> but it's unclear if the two sides are close to an agreement. in washington, rebecca castor ktvu, fox two news. >> the san francisco unified school district, facing what could be a $20 billion budget shortfall this evening. administrators warning of some potentially difficult decisions ahead. >> also ahead tonight, oakland's new police chief will be sworn in later this week. how the mayor says the soon to be new chief is already making an impact. >> and it's warming up out there. noticeable today. fog

compared to 2023. homicides are down 17. rape down 21, and burglaries have decreased by 50. however, the number of robberies increased by 11. and according to mayor tao, the police department is hyper focused on bringing the number of robberies down. >> we're still up by 6% in robberies, but that is that has flattened since february. so february we were double that number. so we are seeing the trend coming down. we're going to continue to focus on that. and again you know we know that overall crime is down. and but the next step that i'm working towards is the sense of feeling safe. >> the mayor also says the city is promoting positive aspects of the city through various types of media to fight the perception of high crime in oakland. >> all right. we're less than an hour away from a bay area showdown between the oakland roots and the san jose earthquakes. >> ktvu jason appelbaum live now at paypal park. and jason, this is all part of a us open cup.

>> yeah, that's right julie. and you know what? it's special because you don't ever see professional teams from san jose and oakland compete against each other. but that's exactly what you have here in the san jose earthquakes and the oakland roots. i'm going to step off to the side because both teams have just taken the field and adding to the intrigue, you've got the mls, major league soccer, which is the highest professional league in our country against the usl championship. and that's the kind of the sub league where the roots play. the semi-pro league, if you will. winner advances to the round of 16 of the us open cup, as you mentioned. and that is the oldest soccer competition in the country. the quakes, the roots, they've only played each other once before and that was in 2021. and what was a preseason game during the empty stadium covid era? it was a close match. it was tied at two until cade cowell of the quakes scored the game winner to give san jose a 3 to 2 win, so it was close.

neither team this year has been tearing it up. in fact, neither team has been very good. but the quakes are coming off their most impressive win of the year and that was a31 win over lafc. that was over the weekend in front of 40,000 plus at levi's stadium, their second win in 11 matches this year. as for the roots, well, their last win came against el farolito in april mid-april. to get them into this round of 32 of the us open cup, they have just two wins in nine matches this year, so they made a major coaching change. they parted ways with noah delgado last week and they named gavin glinton their interim coach. and if they could pull off a win here tonight or even a draw, it would rank among the biggest in roots history. but glinton knows this is a huge challenge in a hostile environment. >> that's their home. they're very, very comfortable there. they're a very dynamic team. we know how good they are. you know, it's going to be a really

tough match for us on the on the best of days. and obviously in a competitive, match up and obviously the first one in the bay, it's huge. everybody's going to be up for it. >> we're going to be, mindful of the few things we're going to put the team that we know is going to be the best in this moment on tuesday to represent us at a high level, because this is a game we take personal. it's a local derby. yeah. you know, it's a local type of rivalry. and we're super excited for the opportunity to play oakland. >> okay. something else to look out for tonight. the second game this will be for the quakes newest star. he's 23 year old hernan lopez from argentina. and he is the great nephew of diego maradona. and as an added bonus, whoever wins this game tonight, will be granted a spot in the concacaf champions cup. so listen, there's a lot at stake. but for me, seeing two leagues compete at different levels to see if maybe the usl roots can

compete with the msl earthquake, that's kind of what i'm looking for. last time when they played, it was just a preseason game. there were no fans. so much different stakes tonight. they're expecting a lot of fans here from both oakland and san jose and the bay area in general, and it looks like a nice night out there for a game. >> all right jason, thank you. >> let's check in with bill and that weather. >> hey bill. yeah it is a heck of a nice out there for a soccer game tonight. and it's going to be this way the next few days. we're going to continue on with this warm, very warm pattern. as a matter of fact, as we go into the next 36 to 48 hours, we could see temperatures. these are the highs today. we could see temperatures easily get into the mid 80s, upper 80s in the next couple of days, and then maybe even a low 90. we'll see. we'll keep an eye on it, but it's going to be very warm. we'll see some tree pollens kind of clocking or trending up as you would expect. the winds are going to come up again late tonight as they have been, the last couple of days. they've been pretty breezy. well, tonight it's going to come out of the north northeast, out in the central valley. so a wind

advisory will get going there for tomorrow. beautiful clear skies. you can kind of see when it's windy, when you look out across the bay and it's may and you got high pressure and you can see that there's good visibility all the way over to the you can see the campus if you look real hard. the berkeley campus, that's that's because it's windy, right? but that's a pretty good air quality. that's how it's going to be the next few days. warmer, gusty winds through tomorrow. and i think that wind advisory will be most noticeable if you're in vacaville, fairfield, in some of those inland spots. so there you go. the plan the next couple of days really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really nice. and then as we go into the weekend, really nice to julie. mother's day is going to be nice. just a little cooler. all right. >> thank you. >> still to come in east bay city considers severing ties with pg and e also ahead tonight a cyclist was hit and killed on an expressway in san jose. >> and authorities say it took some effort to bring the suspect into custody. plus one of our deputies recognized right away it was one of our own heartbreak for an east bay family and the alameda county sheriff's office. >> after a911 dispatcher was

san jose police say was preventable. >> every collision is preventable, right? that's why they called them accidents. but it's not really an accident. there's some type of vehicle code that was violated that if not violated, then the actual wouldn't have occurred. >> investigators say around 730 tuesday morning, the driver of this red pickup truck was moving at a high rate of speed westbound on capital expressway. he ran a red light and collided first with a cyclist and then with the driver of this white pickup truck, both of whom had a green light northbound on center road. the collision killed the cyclist and strewn debris across the intersection, shutting down traffic in all directions for hours. >> the bus did not, pick up my great grandson from school on time. she was like ten minutes late, and she said it was a problem on capitol and center. and after that, i seen that, the traffic was all backing up. they were walking the street neighbor esther barron says this intersection is dangerous because drivers don't always stop for red lights. >> that, coupled with the three lanes of traffic in each

direction on both capital and center and the turning lanes, brings a large volume of vehicles to one point, sometimes at high speeds. >> they're always rushing to work, and there's always a lot of kids around here because they go to school. >> police say the driver of the red pickup truck was arrested after the crash and is facing multiple charges. the driver of the white pickup truck suffered non-life threatening injuries. the cyclist was pronounced dead at the scene. >> i think everybody just needs to be aware. i think, road safety is everyone's responsibility, so it includes being defensive on your own, right? i'm not sure that there's a whole lot that the bicyclist could have done here, if you're following the rules of the road, somebody wasn't. and unfortunately, that's what occurred. >> the santa clara county medical examiner will provide the name of the cyclist once his family is notified. police say this is the 17th fatal collision so far this year in san jose. and city officials say while this is not the top intersection for collisions, it is among the leading intersections for collisions in this city. in the seven three section of san jose. jesse gary ktvu, fox two news
