A Sig alert was issued Monday for Interstate 5 after a car burst into flames, officials said. 

The fire happened around 10:29 a.m. on northbound I-5 near State Route 54, the California Highway Patrol said. 

The fire was reported to the CHP as coming from inside the car, Officer Dorr said, and three people inside managed to get themselves and some of their belongings out. 

In video sent to NBC7 from viewer Daniel Carbajal, the flames appeared to engulf the car.

A prized vehicle was damaged in a North Park garage fire early Monday.

Two people inside a North Park home were awakened by police officers knocking on their door about a fire burning in the garage.

“It’s a crazy thing to wake up to,” Scott Mitchell said.

He and his father were sleeping in their home at Felton and Nutmeg when a fire started in their garage.

Neighbors called 911 just before 5 a.m. because it had jumped to several trees.

Officials said a vehicle parked inside the garage was heavily damaged but there was no damage to two-story house next to it.

Mitchell said it was his drift car that was destroyed in the fire.

“I did all the work on it myself in the garage,” Mitchell said. “It looks like nothing on it will be salvageable.”

San Diego Fire-Rescue Capt. Greg George said the close proximity of nearby homes posed a possible risk.

George said his crews had the fire under control within 15 minutes of dispatch.

Fire officials say the fire was accidental and estimated there was $50,000 in damage to contents within the garage and $50,000 in damage outside the garage.
 

Social acceptance of working mothers has increased dramatically in the last several decades, according to a study done at San Diego State University.

The research, which included survey responses from 600,000 people between 1976 and 2013, found that millennials are significantly more accepting of mothers who work than previous generations.

Only 22 percent of 12th graders surveyed in the last five years thought young children would suffer if their mother worked, down from 34 percent in the 1990s and 59 percent in the 1970s, according to the study.

That trend was consistent among older adults; only 35 percent of them surveyed in 2012 thought having a mom who worked would be detrimental. That’s compared to 68 percent of U.S. adults surveyed in 1977 and 42 percent in 1998.

The study also found a growing acceptance of men and women holding the same roles in the workplace and in child rearing.

One surprising result of the survey: There appears to be a growing, though small, percentage of millennials who believe in a patriarchal marriage. Seventeen percent of millennials surveyed in the 2010s said the husband should make the important family decisions, up from 14 percent in the 1990s.

The researchers said in a news release that while millennials may see marriage as for only certain types of people, some believe that those married should abide by more rigid gender roles.

The man accused of attacking several women in North Park last summer heard from some of his accusers Monday in a pretrial hearing.

David Angelo Drake II, 23, was arrested in September and accused of assaults on seven women.

The charges are connected to a series of attacks on women all in the residential area of San Diego west of Interstate 805 and south of El Cajon Boulevard. Many of victims reported being struck from behind and then assaulted after.

The victim in that incident, who NBC 7 is identifiying as K.S., told police she was on Idaho Street when someone approached her from behind and put her in a chokehold. The victim screamed and her attacker ran away.

Prosecutors claim Drake told investigators the motive behind the attack was that he's a sexual deviant and has a problem.

A woman who NBC 7 is identifying as E.G. testified Monday she had just left the Office Bar on June 11 and was heading to Walgreens to get pita chips before walking home.

She said she doesn't remember anything until she was on a gurney near her mom's home. Since the attack, she said she's had migraines, memory problems, anxiety.

The victim testified she drank two medium beers and two shots before the incident. Under cross-examination, the defense asked about opiates that were found in her system and E.G. testified that sometimes she smoked marijuana.

Under cross-examination, E.G. said she does not recall anyone touching her privates.

San Diego Police Det. Andrea Meyers testified that E.G. did not mention losing consciousness and told investigators that she believed she had not been sexually assaulted.

A woman NBC 7 is identifying as G.A. testified she was walking on Lincoln Avenue on June 21 when she was pushed to the ground from behind and continuously punched. She testified that she closed her eyes the entire time.

“It was definitely, 100 percent another pair of hands,” said G.A. “There’s no way someone can use two hands and beat me while trying to pull off my underwear at the same time.”

Her attackers pulled her under clothing to mid-thigh and so she urinated. That’s when the attack ended.

She said one of her eyes swelled to the point she couldn’t open it. She also had scratches on her thighs and a broken nose as well as burns from some take-out soup.

Drake faces 19 charges.

April 30, 2014: Defendant is charged with assault with intent to commit a specific felony and assault by means to likely produce great bodily injury.

June 11, 2014: A woman told police she was thrown to the ground by one attacker on 33rd Street. Defendant is charged with sexual penetration (use of force), assault with intent to commit a specific felony and assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury.

June 21, 2014: A woman was walking along Lincoln Avenue at 9:20 p.m. when she said two men attempted to attack her. Defendant is charged with assault to commit a specific felony and assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury.

June 24, 2014: A woman was walking along Lincoln Avenue near Oregon Street and was knocked unconscious in an attack from behind, police said. Defendant is charged with sexual penetration (use of force), assault with intent to commit a specific felony and assault with intent to commit a specific felony.

July 20: A woman was knocked out while walking near the corner of Lincoln Avenue and Kansas Street around 1:20 a.m. Defendant is charged with assault with intent to commit a specific felony and assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury.

Aug. 12: Defendant is charged with sexual penetration (use of force), robbery and assault with intent to commit a specific felony.

Aug. 28: The victim was attacked from behind, punched in the face and knocked out. She screamed for help and the suspect ran away, avoiding capture. Defendant is charged with assault with intent to commit a specific felony and assault by means to produce great bodily injury.

Investigators arrested Drake after receiving a tip from a police officer's wife who saw something unique about the suspect in surveillance video.

Drake has no criminal history and his defense attorney Dan Greene, has said that none of the women identified his client in a lineup.

If convicted on all the charges against him, Drake could face 100 years to life in prison.

A San Diego man used his thumb to try and save the life of a stabbing victim early Sunday.

“It’s painful. That’s definitely one of the most intense things that’s happened around me," David Andring told NBC 7, reliving his attempt to save a man stabbed at Broadway and 5th Avenue.

“I tried to save his life. I didn’t want him to die," he said.

He is talking about the 43-year-old man found on the sidewalk just after 3 a.m., suffering from stab wounds to his upper torso, according to San Diego Police.

Andring lives in a nearby building and was coming home from work when the victim asked him to call 911, saying a man standing nearby had stabbed him in the neck.

Andring took his left thumb and pressed it into the wound while waiting for help to arrive.

“I told him you're okay. There's not that much blood you're going to be okay,” he said, explaining that he was just trying to calm the man.

The unidentified man was taken to a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

A preliminary investigation revealed the victim was involved in some type of argument with the suspect, 64 year-old Santiago Gonzalez Abraham Jr., homicide investigators said.

Andring says while he comforted the victim, Abraham was lingering nearby.

“I was kneeling over the victim kept the attacker in sight to make sure I had enough room to get away in case he tried to attack me,” Andring said.

Abraham was booked into jail on one count of murder.

It was a boozy mess Monday morning when a semi-truck hauling Bud Light cans overturned on the 91 Freeway in Riverside.

The driver of the semi seemed to have lost control when he tried to avoid a collision with another car while driving eastbound on the 91 Freeway near the 60 Freeway transition at about 8 a.m., Tyler Reynolds said, spokesman for the Riverside Fire Department.

Traffic was backed up for hours as officials cleaned up hundreds of 24 ounce Bud Light cans that spilled out of the truck.

Rescue crews had to cut the windshield off the semi to free the driver who was able to walk out of it before being transported to a nearby hospital with minor injuries, Reynolds said.

Another car was hit during the crash, the driver of that vehicle left the scene without injury.

A SigAlert was issued with crews closing down all lanes on the Artesia Freeway before reopening two of them just before 10 a.m.

One person was shot after an altercation at an El Cajon home Monday.

The shooting happened in the 8200 block of Limon Lane at about 4:30 p.m.

Sheriff's Lt. George Calderon said three people drove up to the home, and one got out and went inside. Those in the house had some sort of altercation, and one man was shot in the leg.

A dog was also injured in the incident.

Deputies were able to track down a silver sedan seen fleeing the scene, pulling it over down the road.

Two people from the vehicle and three others from the home have been detained. No arrests have been made.

Sheriff's deputies say they have been called to the residence before for drug and stolen car-related calls.

An Oroville, California, woman who gave birth while stranded in a forest, survived on apples and water for three days before being rescued with her newborn daughter.

When Amber Pangborn, 35, began having contractions while driving in South Oroville, she decided to take the back roads to her parents' home for help. But as the traveled down French Creek Road in the Plumes National Forest, her car ran out of gas and she lost cell phone service, NBC affiliate KCRA reported. Then, she gave birth.

For the next three days, Pangborn survived off of just four apples and some water as she tried to seek help while protecting her daughter, Marissa.

At one point, they were attacked by bees and mosquitoes.

“They [the bees] were trying to get the placenta, and I was not letting them sting her, and I got stung trying to keep them away from the baby, but they wanted the placenta," Pangborn said.

Mother and child were rescued after Pangborn set a signal fire on Saturday that eventually burned out of control and caught the attention of a U.S. Forestry fire protection system.

“I think Mommy just started a forest fire,” Pangborn recalled telling her daughter.

The two were discovered by a California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection helicopter and saved by a rescue team from the Forestry Department. Pangborn and her daughter were admitted to a local hospital later that day. Marissa was transported to UC Davis Medical Center on Sunday for further evaluation. 

A colorful mural was dedicated over the weekend at Libby Lake Park in Oceanside, a park that has been reclaimed by the community after two deadly shootings in just two years.

"Everyone in the community bought into it," said Jimmy Figueroa, project manager at Project REACH Libby Lake.

The organization works to increase the number of local kids who kids graduate from high school and go on to college. It has also played a key role in the community's efforts to reclaim the park as a safe place for children.

On March 13, 2013, four teenagers were shot at Libby Lake Park. Edgar Sanchez Rios, 16, and Melanie Virgen, 13 died at the scene.

Two years before that, on May 3, 2011, the bodies of teens Fernando Felix Solano, 16, and Sandra Salgado, 14, were found shot to death near the park.

Today, the Oceanside community continues rebuild after the tragic violence, promoting a better life for

Figueroa said students from all over the community worked to complete the mural.

"When we were out here working on this mural, It felt like we were creating history," Figueroa said.

Some of those cleaning up the wall and painting the mural were on probation or had been suspended from high school, he said. 

"We saw leadership take place among these students," he said.

One of the students who played a key role was mural designer Alondra Ochoa.

"You see a girl holding a pencil up in the sky, and pretty much saying that,’Yes. I accomplished,’’  Ochoa said.

The El Camino High School graduate plans to start Palomar College in the fall and hopes to continue her eduction so she can become a missionary.

She said she's never created anything like this mural. She usually just draws for herself.

Figueroa said the community has received grants to not only organize community-wide cleanups but also help pay for projects like the mural.

Dozens of young campers lined the shoulder of a San Diego highway after their bus engine started to smoke early Monday.

About 60 kids from Lighthouse Baptist Church were headed to Iron Wood Christian camp in Newberry Springs for a week to camp.

They had just started their trip when the bus driver saw smoke while driving along northbound Interstate 15 just before University Avenue.

The California Highway Patrol, San Diego Police and San Diego Fire-Rescue all responded. Fire officials say there was no smoke or fire.

However, a tow truck was called for the camp bus.

Officials said everyone was told to get out of the bus while the camp staff organized a second bus to come and pick up the children.
 

The continued use of the controversial sedative midazolam to put prisoners to death, upheld on Monday by the U.S. Supreme Court, will mean more challenges and more botched executions, predicted an official with the American Civil Liberties Union.

The case against midazolam was brought by three other death-row inmates in Oklahoma after several prolonged executions sparked renewed controversy about lethal injections.

"Midazolam doesn't work," said Cassandra Stubbs, the director of the ACLU Capital Punishment Project, which works to repeal the death penalty. "They were not unconscious."

In the 5-4 decision, the court ruled that the drug, midazolam, could be used in executions without violating the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition on cruel and unusual suffering.

Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito said prisoners objecting to the drug's use failed to identify an alternative method that had less risk of pain.

"I think the sweeping holding here that a defendant could be tortured and that would be okay unless they are able to come up with an alternative method, I think that is a mistake," Stubbs said. "I don’t think the Constitution stands for that."

The majority also said that a lower court had not made a mistake when it found that the prisoners "failed to establish that Oklahoma's use of a massive dose of midazolam in its execution protocol entails a substantial risk of severe pain."

Oklahoma's attorney general, Scott Pruitt, said Oklahoma would now set execution dates for the three inmates, Richard Glossip, Benjamin Cole and John Grant.

"State officials act deliberately and thoughtfully in carrying out this responsibility," he said in a statement. "This marks the eighth time a court has reviewed and upheld as constitutional the lethal injection protocol used by Oklahoma."

Challengers argued because midazolam was not a barbituate, it failed to cause a coma-like state, leaving open the possibility that the other drugs injected afterward would cause an excruciating death. They had questioned Oklahoma's key expert witness who defended the use of the drug but seemed to rely on the website, www.drugs.com.

Sister Sister Helen Prejean tweeted: "The Supreme Court's decision in Glossip v. Gross allows for continued experimentation on death row inmates. The drug doesn't work."

In a dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote, "Under the court's new rule, it would not matter whether the state intended to use midazolam, or instead to have petitioners drawn and quartered, slowly tortured to death, or actually burned at the stake."

The hearing in the case took place a year after a botched execution in Oklahoma captured attention. The prisoner, Clayton D. Lockett, regained consciousness and as he writhed and moaned prison, officials tried to stop the execution. He died after 43 minutes. State officials later said the intravenous line was inserted improperly.

Two other executions, of Joseph Wood in Ohio and Dennis McGuire in Arizona, took longer than expected and the inmates were heard gasping.

"I think a lot of the questions about lethal injection will remain because I think states have an interest in not engaging in torture under their own state constitutions," Stubbs said. "And I fully expect that defendants will continue to challenge unconstitutional methods or methods that are torturous."

Stubbs said she hoped that states would stop using midazolam. If they do not, the country will see more botched executions, she said.

"There's no reason to have any confidence in midazolam working," she said. "And nothing the Supreme Court today says changes that."

The case was the first the Supreme Court has considered on lethal injections since 2008. At that time, it found that a three-drug combination in which the barbituate sodium thiopental was the first to be injected was constitutional.

States have had trouble obtaining some of the drugs because manufacturers have refused to sell them for use in executions.

Most states used a three-drug combination until 2009, but after shortages developed they turned to a variety of methods, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. Eight states, among them Texas, use a single dose of an anesthetic. Fourteen states have used pentobarbital and another five plan to use it; nine states have used or plan to use compounding pharmacies as an alternative to manufacturers.

A number of other states have looked at other ways to execute inmates — nitrogen gas asphyxiation in Oklahoma, the electric chair in Tennessee and a firing squad in Utah.

As for midazolam, Oklahoma, Florida, Ohio and Arizona have used it in three- or two-drug combinations, the Death Penalty Information Center says. Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Virginia allow for midazolam, but have not used it.

Sheriff's officials have arrested a driver they say tried to run over a deputy. 

The incident happened around 10:13 a.m. Monday on the 8600 block of Tyler Street in Spring Valley when deputies responded to an unknown fight call, Sheriff's officials said. 

When officers arrived on scene, they spotted someone at the scene getting into a black Ford 500.

The driver, 30-year-old Renee Chan, neared a deputy on foot, and the official motioned for the truck to stop so he could investigate the call.

As the truck stopped, the passenger, who had blood on his clothes and shoes, started walking away from the deputy, according to the sheriff's department.

The deputy tries to speak to the passenger, but Chan suddenly accelerated and hit the deputy in the knee, officials said. 

The deputy suffered a skinned knee. Chan took off in his truck, driving westbound on Tyler Street toward Sweetwater Road.

Calling in backup, the sheriff's team was soon joined by California Highway Patrol and the sheriff's helicopter, which all converged on the scene.

A CHP officer saw a man matching the suspect's description head into a local business on Troy Street, so he detained the man and confirmed he was Chan, according to sheriff's officials.

He was booked into jail on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer. Chan was on probation under AB 109 and had a warrant out for his arrest before the incident.

The San Diego Metropolitan Transit System’s first and current Chief of Police Bill Burke passed away Monday of unknown causes. He was 68.

Burke began working with MTS in 2001, but was later promoted to director of security three years later. By 2011, he became the MTS’ first chief of police.

“Bill will be missed greatly at MTS,” said Paul Jablonski, chief executive officer of MTS, in a statement. “He brought many innovations to MTS and helped our system become one of the safest in the nation. More than that, Bill was a gentleman who earned respect from every one of his colleagues. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family.”

Burke worked as the Cook County Sheriff’s Department in Chicago, Ill., for several years as their chief of police prior to working at MTS.

During his time at the MTS, Burke worked to improve the closed-circuit TVs at trolley stations, on-board cameras on trolleys and busses, body cameras on code compliance inspectors and developed the local See Something, Say Something campaign.

Additionally, he started the TSA-trained canine teams for the MTS and developed working relationships with local law enforcement agencies.

The American Stroke Association released new guidelines Monday and for the first time, a clot removal procedure is now on that list of standard care.

Strokes are the fifth leading cause of death in this country. And for the type of stroke caused by a blood clot in a major artery, the announcement is huge.

Tens of thousands of lives could be saved every year in this country thanks to a medical procedure that’s already saved one man's life here in San Diego.

On August 27, Stefan Reisch was on his way to work, driving west on Interstate 8, when he started losing feeling on the left side of his body.

"Basically immediately I felt like I was going to pass out, and I thought, you can't pass out, you're on the freeway,” he recalled.

He drove his car off the road.

When police arrived, they asked if he'd been drinking or was on drugs.

Then they asked him to smile.

Medics recognized he was having a stroke, got him to UCSD Medical Center where a clot removal procedure saved his life.

When a powerful blood thinning medication could not dissolve the blood clot in his brain, doctors used something called a stent retriever.

A catheter is put into an artery in the leg. It can travel all the way up to the brain where it can actually grab onto and remove a blood clot while someone is still having a stroke. It should be done within six hours of stroke symptoms, the AHM

Retrievers have been around for years but haven’t been used regularly.

UC San Diego Medical Center is one of 90 comprehensive stroke centers offering mechanical

"Unfortunately, only about 10,000 are performed every year in the United states,” said Alexander Khalessi, M.D., one of the doctors who worked on Reisch’s case.

He says that's only a fraction of the 75,000 patients that could benefit from this procedure.

By adding the stent retriever to the list of standard care for stroke patients, the American Stroke Association gives its support behind a procedure that could help thousands which could lead to its use in more medical centers.

"Knowing that the procedure is standard of care, that people are going to have this, it's awesome, that my story is going to be the norm in many cases is super exciting," Reisch said.
 

One San Diego County fireworks show has fizzled out indefinitely, and a lack of funding may cause another to shut down in years to come.

The 4th of July fireworks at Chula Vista’s Olympic Training Center were canceled after last year’s display started a fire.

And in Ramona, the local Rotary Club, which sponsors the fireworks show, has been struggling with funding. At a cost of $1,500 per minute, the 20 minute show is still hundreds of dollars short.

Without the financial support, planning next year’s event has been put on hold, the rotary president told NBC 7 Monday, which means this year’s fireworks could be the last.

The possibility is a sad one for Ramona residents who have grown up watching the bright display.

“Every year, I get together with my family and we throw this huge party and watch the fireworks,” said Ramona resident Kiera Grant.

If the funds for this year’s show are not collected by the holiday weekend, the Ramona Rotary Club may not even attempt to raise money for 2016’s celebration.

“That would be really sad,” said Ramona resident Mary Nelson. "That's when everyone comes together and it's a beautiful thing."

With a shortage of other options, many are expected to jet down to the already crowded Embarcadero for the Big Bay Boom. About 500,000 people are expected to attend the city's biggest fireworks show.

That could include Oceanside residents, whose fireworks show was moved from Friday instead of Saturday.

After NBC 7 aired its report on the Ramona show, the rotary president said the club finally met its fundraising goal.
 

Just when San Diegans thought they were doing enough to save water, the city’s upping the ante.

While a Level 2 drought alert is still in effect, the San Diego City Council has just opted to impose elements of Level 3 – even though the state isn’t considering issuing new restriction guidelines until next month.

A landscape architects’ association had recommended that the council hold off until then, to no avail.

So homeowners are looking at a substantial cutback in yard watering, except for those with high-tech irrigation systems that better disperse and reduce flow.

Landscaping days will drop from three to two on an odd-even address basis -- for five minutes per "station," meaning sprinkler arrays and hose connections.

As severe as things already are, city officials say the added stress of less water won't necessarily mean that lawns and shrubbery will wind up dying.

"It depends on the type of turf, on the location, how much shade it gets, whether it's smack in the middle of the sun or not and the soil type,” Public Utilities Director Halla Razak told NBC 7. “I can't specifically say that everybody's turf will be doing fine."

Car washing will be limited to the hours between 6 p.m. and 10 a.m., and ornamental fountains can only be run for the purpose of keeping the pumps and related equipment from deteriorating – although no specific guidelines were issued.

According to homeowners interviewed Monday by NBC 7, a lot neighborhood lawns are going brown – or are on their way out.

"I've seen one neighbor now that has had a beautiful Bermuda grass yard that he used to hand-trim,” said San Carlos resident Chuck Davis. “He's now having paving put in. It's less work for him. He may love it, but he took pride in his yard."

Kensington resident Gaye Friedman said her husband has been resisting several neighbors’ trend of replacing their lawns.

"But I'm slowly putting in succulents, and he hasn't noticed yet," Friedman related with a laugh. "Because that's how we have to do it. We don't have enough water here. And it's sad."
 

A cellphone video that captured Chicago police officers playing football with children on the street on the South Side has gone viral.

The video was shot near Independence and Grenshaw in the North Lawndale neighborhood and was shared by TattooTim Freeman on Facebook on Sunday. In one day, more than 4,500 people have shared the heartwarming video.

In the video, two Chicago officers are shown throwing a football with some children on the street. Another child sits inside a police car and plays with the megaphone, saying, "We having fun out here, keep recording us, we having fun, we having fun with the police."

Freeman, who identified himself as a minister, told the police officers that he doesn't believe cops are bad, despite what other people may say. He later challenged people on Facebook to share the video as proof.

"The thing is it's hard because you're either out on patrol and then constantly running on the calls or now (holding) the blocks. But you don't just have to sit in cars. It's fun to talk to people," one officer told Freeman.

Freeman noted that he did not usually witness scenes like this in the neighborhood, but he thanked the officers for playing with the children.

"I witness police officers in our neighborhood playing with our children on grenshaw and Indepedence," Freeman said in the Facebook post. "Everytime I look on Facebook there are negative posts of police officers killing our kids or our kids killing one another. Today is a new day. police officers are taking time out of their daily plans to spend time with our children. Something I've never seen our brothers do in the hood." 

San Diego’s South Bay is getting a new park – the first in the city to be named after a Filipino-American.

The Cesar Solis Community Park, to be built in Ocean View Hills near Otay Mesa, got its full funding approval from the San Diego City Council Monday.

The project gets its namesake from retired Assistant Chief Cesar Solis, who was the highest ranking Filipino American officer in the San Diego Police Department.

“It’s an honor for me to be a part of such an important project, a project that will benefit a very deserving community,” Solis said at a news conference Monday.

Solis said he grew up in Otay Mesa area, spending time playing sports at neighborhood parks. He thanked Councilmember David Alvarez, who spearheaded the project, for helping bring a new open space to Ocean View Hills.

“My staff and I canvassed this area extensively and heard from many requesting a park in their neighborhood,” said Alvarez. “I am very proud of the widespread level of community engagement that has taken place throughout this process.”

The 20-acre park will include lighted softball fields, playgrounds, a comfort station, concession stand, off-street parking, turf area, picnic shelters and more.

Construction should start next summer, and the city plans to open it in fall 2017.
