San Jose driver charged with murder in crash that killed mom, daughter

An update now on a deadly crash that killed a mother and daughter. A San Jose man is now charged with two counts of murder. The crash happened in December on Highway 87. Investigators say Zachary Chernicky was driving his Tesla more than 140 miles an hour when he collided with several other cars, killing Ivana Balistreri and her 23-month-old daughter. The CHP says the 31-year-old man was arrested on Monday. I've seen some coverage of this incident that says things like Tesla crash kills a family, but that headline really misses the point. The Tesla didn't cause this crash, Chernicky did by driving over 140 miles per hour. That kind of speed, it's not an accident. This was not some unforeseen tragedy. This is what happens when you drive that fast on our roads. Chernicky's next court date is set for August 24th. Tonight we're hearing from the Salinas Space Company that may be the source of the cyclosporiasis outbreak. Taylor Farms announced it is removing all of its iceberg lettuce grown in central Mexico from store shelves and restaurants here in the United States. The product is being linked to the parasite that had sickened thousands of people who ate at Taco Bell restaurants in recent weeks. KTVU's Ann Rubin joins us live now from San Jose with what she's learned. Ann? Yeah, Taylor Farms says they're concerned for those who became ill and also for those whose trust in the safety of fresh produce has been shaken. They say they're doing everything in their power to address the issue. Salinas Space Taylor Farms is taking action after being linked to a cyclosporiasis outbreak causing explosive diarrhea in thousands of Americans. In a statement they say the FDA trace back linked the parasite to a specific independent farm in central Mexico. They wrote we've removed all iceberg lettuce from the region indefinitely. They add no Taylor Farms branded salads or kits are associated with this outbreak. I think it's relieving for me to tell you the truth. I was really worried that there were these ongoing cases with thousands of people. We didn't know where it was coming from. Now the FDA believes the shredded lettuce ended up at Taco Bell locations in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia. They've linked it to more than 1,600 cases so far. Still that's a fraction of the total cases and infectious disease experts say there are still more questions to be answered. Like is this the only source because there are multiple states involved? One of the challenges we have is really trying to help people remember what they ate two weeks ago, right? I can barely remember what I ate last week. In a statement Taco Bell said the lettuce is being quote indefinitely removed from our supply chain nationwide and will be replaced within 24 hours in select states. Some customers noticed it immediately. They told us that they threw out their stock of lettuce and you know they're going to protect their customers that are coming. Symptoms of cyclosporiasis can often take weeks to develop meaning there may be more cases on the way but experts say California seems to have been spared the brunt of this one. At this point I'm not that worried. There haven't been any cases identified linked to that episode in California. Maybe I'm buying ahead of lettuce now and taking out the outer leaves but I'm not avoiding fruits and vegetables. I'm just reducing my risk and of course I'm washing my hands. The FDA says they are working with Taylor Farms to see where else the iceberg lettuce might have been distributed. Live in San Jose, Ann Rubin, KTVU Fox 2 News.
