Due to the traffic backup caused by yesterday's fatal car crash on the Bay Bridge, it seems that a woman popped out a kid. According to the Examiner: As a result of the traffic jam, a woman pulled off the road to give birth a few hours after the accident. The mother-to-be was traveling toward San Francisco at 3:35 p.m. when she detoured into the toll plaza’s left administrative parking lot, Chase said. Wow.......

With all that went down this week, we thought we thought we'd cheer everyone up by giving everyone a double dose of dogs. It was a rollercoaster ride of emotions this week at DCist.

Remember that guy who was saved from a car crash by his faithful dog, who ran for help and barked until someone came to rescue her human companion? (Is that the right term we're using now instead of "owner"?) Well, look at that picture! Man and dog are reunited -- and it feels so good! So it turns out that human Michael Bosch slipped off his driveway down an 80-degree slope, and was pinned in his upside-down car. Cocker spaniel puppy Honey got out of the car and ran for help. Unfortunately, she didn't find help for another eight hours -- but hey, she's just a puppy! We're sure in a year or so, she'll be like, "hey, give me that cell phone, Bosch." Bosch is recovering nicely -- he'd suffered a heart attack just two months ago, so they're being careful with him. His coworkers brought Honey to the hospital, along with some chocolates, dog biscuits, and a stuffed "superdog" chewtoy. Bosch had only adopted Honey two weeks earlier! They bond to us so fast! Next up for Bosch: housebreaking. Let's hope she doesn't have to run for help again. Picture from the Marin Independent Journal...

To update you on where we're at on the two biggest crime stories in town: the Chron fronts a frightening photo montage of the teenager who allegedly killed Pamela Vitale (check it out on the newsstands -- yikes!!), and acquaintances say he kind of began a downward spiral after his older sister was killed in a car crash. And Lashaun/Lashuan Harris (spellings vary), the woman who threw her kids off Pier 7, reportedly told her cousin that she was going to feed her children to the sharks and left the house. The cousin tried to stop her but couldn't. Harris had apparently been saying this for some time, and other family members thought she would never do anything to hurt her children. Her family had been trying to get custody of the children, but had been denied. The VIllage People cop who got busted for crack failed to show up for his arraignment in Daly City, and a warrant's been issued. Hey, have you checked out the YMCA? And third graders in Mill Valley are happy again, after their classroom pet turtle, Myrtle, was anonymously returned after disappearing a few days ago. The principal isn't talking, but they think the turtle was returned by the turtlenapper's parents. The children are philosophical about not learning the identity of the thief, saying the teacher had "made a deal," which made sense because if they knew who did it, "a lot of people would be mad at him or her." The children then went back to encouraging Myrtle to eat the snails in her terrarium. "Go for the snail! Go for the snail!" ...
