2,000 PG&E customers lost power after a huge tree took out power lines and power poles near Cal's Memorial Stadium

BERKELEY, Calif. (KGO) -- PG&E is working to restore power to customers in Berkeley after a huge tree fell near Cal's Memorial Stadium.

The tree took out power lines and power poles on Bancroft Way and Prospect Street just before 8 p.m. Sunday.

Crews are now using chainsaws to slowly take the tree apart.

Nearly 2,000 PG&E customers lost power. They've turned the lights back on for most of those people. But PG&E says the remaining 35 customers won't have their power restored until after 8 p.m. Monday.

With another storm headed our way, there's concern more trees could be falling this week.

DURHAM, North Carolina (WTVD) -- An 18-year-old freshman at North Carolina Central University was killed in a head-on crash in Durham Sunday night that police say was caused by a drunk driver.

It happened around 9:30 p.m. in the 1100 block of East Geer Street, near Cheek Road.

The Durham Police Department said an eastbound vehicle driven by 25-year-old Natasha Lynn Taylor crossed the center line and hit another car driven by 18-year-old Quillon Rendleman of Charlotte.

A passenger in Rendleman's car, - Myiah Andrews of Greenville - died.

NCCU said she was a pre-nursing major who graduated from South Central High School in Winterville last year.

"I would ask that you keep Ms. Andrews family, friends and classmates in your thoughts and prayers during their time of grief. The sudden passing of a promising young person who was just beginning her journey is indeed heartbreaking and causes us to lean on one another for strength as members of a unified Eagle family," said Interim Chancellor Johnson O. Akinleye.

Akinleye said counselors are available on campus for students and staff who need them.

Both drivers and two other passengers in Rendleman's car were taken to the hospital. One was still in the hospital Monday.

Taylor is charged with felony death by motor vehicle, driving while impaired, and failing to maintain lane control. She's was placed in the Durham County Jail under a $250,000 bond.

She showed little emotion when she went before a judge for a preliminary hearing Monday where her bond was lowered to $100,000, but her lawyer said the crash has taken a toll on his client.

"She's devastated by what happened and our sympathy goes out to the families involved and that's all I can tell you right now," said attorney Bill Breeze.

LOWER MANHATTAN (WABC) -- Some classes are canceled Monday at Pace University in Manhattan after an electrical fire.

The fire tore through the basement of the building at One Pace Plaza in Lower Manhattan Sunday.

The building was evacuated and no one was hurt.

The school says there is limited power in the building for now, which is why classes cannot be held there Monday.

Classes held in other buildings including 163 William Street and the Midtown Center will continue as scheduled.

Con Edison was asked to shut off power for repairs.

The rest of the campus remains open.

The victims are believed to be an elderly couple. 
The property records show that Helen C Ginman, 70 and Jeffrey Ginman, 74 live on that property.
The fire broke out inside the home on Central Street in Yorktown Heights just before 3 a.m.

YORKTOWN - A man and woman were killed when fire roared through a house early today. The property records show that Helen C Ginman, 70 and Jeffrey Ginman, 74 live on that property.

Firefighters were alerted to the blaze at 1703 Central St. just before 3 a.m. by a neighbor who reported that people were trapped inside, Yorktown police said.

"It just looked like an explosion, like just brightness and flames. Just a horror," said Marina Veatch, the neighbor, who lives across the street and said she saw flames shooting through the roof of the house.

"Upon initial arrival we had heavy fire through the roof," Yorktown Heights Fire Chief Jason Swart said, adding, "It was visible from almost across the downtown area."

Police said the man and woman, occupants of the home, died in the blaze, but released no other information on the victims. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but authorities said it does not appear to be suspicious.

Another neighbor, Chau Vo, who lives next door to Veatch, said he tried to help police officers break down the door of the burning house, but that it wouldn't open until firefighters arrived. He said could see flames, mostly in the rear of the house.

"I feel bad because that's my neighbor", Veatch said. "I did my best, but..."

Firefighters also made several attempts to enter the house but were driven back by heavy fire, and the roof started collapsing.

One firefighter suffered a minor injury, Swart said.

Flames tore through the roof, leaving a large hole in the ranch style home located just off Moseman Avenue. A car parked in the driveway did not appear to be damaged.
