Around 1:00 this afternoon four tractor trailers were involved in separate accidents near mile marker 109. It all started when the axle on a tractor trailer broke, leaving it stranded on the side of the road. That backed up traffic and ended up causing another tractor trailer to run off the road. In less than five minutes another truck and car collided and then two more trucks ran into each other. It took several hours to clean up the original tractor trailer with the broken axle.

Last week, the 28-year-old airport screener caused a stir by briefly talking with Laci Peterson's brother while at the courthouse's metal detector. Justin Falconer, Dismissed Juror "it was an innocent remark - it had nothing to do with the trail - but i think with all the attention that i got i don't think that they had much of a choice." Judge Alfred Delucchi hasn't said why he was dismissed. Last Monday he ruled there had been no misconduct in the exchange between Falconer and Laci's brother. As to why he was dismissed now court transcripts show that Falconer had discussed the media coverage with his girlfriend. Now a former juror, the court-imposed gag order doesn't apply anymore, and Falconer wasted no time telling the media he could not deliver a conviction... saying the prosecution was doing a bad job. Falconer again "I have not seem anything that ya know would make me believe that he committed this crime" Before selecting a replacement juror, the judge lectured the panel about their responsibilities insisting they not watch ANY coverage - no radio TV, or newspaper stories about the Peterson trial. The judge also denied the defense's motion for a mistrial despite having tossed the juror defense attorney mark Geragos said he was outraged. Manual Gallegus, CBS NEWS.))
