9 00. Two children, a mother and a father. Now our chopper flew over the scene at foothill road near stoneridge drive where it happened around 9 00 last night. There was only one car involved. Investigators are still trying to figure out what caused it to crash. Again, theres only one car involved. Investigators are still trying to piece it all together, but they do believe that speed may have been a factor. It appears the car lost control hitting a curb and then crashing into a large oak tree. This is an area where two lanes drop down to one and there is a curve. Police say the two children were under the ages of 15 years old and at least one was a student in the Pleasanton Unified School district. We heard from the district spokesperson today. He said they are providing counseling for students on campus. Its tragic. I dont know how else to put it and we understand the human impact that it has on our families. So we want to do everything that we can to support them and just want to make sure that students know that there are adults that care about them and that are here for them when and if they need. Reporter its a Small Community and a lot of people drive along foothill road and they know just how dangerous it is. When we were getting the alerts last night there was a collision and a fatality, everyone was checking to make sure their kids and family members were okay and as it turns out, it was a family of four killed along this stretch. A lot of people have been coming by. You can see flowers left along the roadside here, foothill road. In the last half hour there were some neighbors that stopped by who knew the family. They didnt want to tell the familys name understandably because next of kin still needs to be notified. That may be family who lives out of the country. They told me they are heartbroken this happened to such a tight knit family here in pleasanton and others have been talking about the difficult day. As a neighbor knowing both of them, their kids, we just wanted to come see, you know, take a moment of silence here and its very shocking, you know, very nice person, always energetic and it was always a pleasure to work with him and talk to him and we used to have a lot of conversations. So its really sad and tragic to kind of see this and hear this. Reporter our heart goes out to the neighbors, to family members, and to those who have come by who knew the family. This isnt the first time that a deadly accident happened along foothill road. Its happened years past. Thats why this road has such a history here in pleasanton, especially for parents whose High School Kids go to school just down the road from here. In fact, its a dangerous stretch where cars are known to speed. Also most recently in 2019 a crash on christmas night killed twin teenage brothers and their friend. Their car hit a power pole and slammed into a tree while going south on foothill near the castlewood country club. The three were students at dublin high school. Foothill road was closed all night and part of today, but it has now reopened from this deadly crash that happened here. Names have not been released because family, possibly living out of the country, has not been notified yet. Were still piecing all this together. Obviously well have more insight from neighbors who live along this road. Theyve even signed some petitions saying theyd like to have more stop signs and more things that can be done to slow down this stretch and further down as you can see, cars just going by here. This is supposed to be what, 40 Miles Per Hour and sometimes thats not the case. I should note even a lamp post was knocked down in this crash, a light post. Thats going to take out a lot of light in this area as well. Sara, obviously a lot more to this story and a lot more personal stories well share in the 7 00 hour. Well be covering this as it unfolds. Back to you in the studio. Very sad story. Thanks for the update from pleasanton. Other headlines now, San Franciscos retail challenges have been a big part of the conversation about the future of the city. Theres been a major wave of store closures downtown from the owner of the westfield mall walking away from the property to macys announcing plans to close its iconic union square location. The tough environment has also led hundreds of Small Businesses to leave San Francisco. The city is trying to offer resources to help the ones who are hanging on, but for many its too little too late. Anne makovec met a bay area native who packed up and moved her boutique to los angeles and isnt looking back. Reporter sasha darling knows being a boutique owner has its ups and downs. So you really have to be okay with the unknown and be the kind of person that can quickly adapt. Reporter bell jar boutique started with a bay area girl from marin making a dream come true. I really wanted to open a boutique in my hometown that reflected my San Francisco style and the style of all my girl friends. Reporter her store in the Mission District was a success when it opened in 2007, but ten years later her landlord raised her rent from 3,000 to 8,000. We need a necklace. Reporter hundreds of businesses have left San Francisco since sasha closed her boutique. Then it was high rents cutting into profits. More recently, concerns about crime and lack of foot traffic since the pandemic. About half of the stores in the citys downtown have closed since 2019, so much so that rents, back down. This fast year the San Francisco office of Small Business added a commercial leasing specialist, offering free advice to Business Owners dealing with wild swings in rent. They offer a variety of Free Services from help with permits to marketing, hoping to keep Small Businesses in the city. We know how important they are and many of the Business Owners are very good at their craft and what they do and there are some other areas where perhaps they need a little bit more assistance from and thats where we come in to assist. Reporter but its too late for bell jar boutique. Sasha moved her business to los angeles. Business is definitely a lot better than it was in San Francisco. Reporter before her San Francisco shop closed, sasha opened another bell jar in l. A. s los felice neighborhood. She planned to run it remotely. I hadnt spent much time in l. A. And being from the bay area i had a prejudice against it from being like superficial. Reporter but a change of scenery opened her mind. She rented a small apartment for a third of her rent in the city and stuck around to take care of the new shop. I still have my house in San Francisco, but i just found myself spending like 70 of the time here and like 30 of the time in San Francisco. Reporter after dealing with the ups and downs of property prices, she bought a new house, the perfect accessory for her new life in l. A. We were curious as to what happened to sashas old storefront in the Mission District back in San Francisco. Now its a comic book shop specializing in lgbtq material called sour cherry comics on 16th near valencia near where the owner lives. Shem says opening it has become a dream come true. Were excited to be here and our sales have improved like year after year. Its just everythings very expensive. So we are hopeful that we can stay in the same place. So the store has been open about two years. Her current lease is about to end. She hopes to expand to an online store in the future, but right now she says she can only employ two people one day a week each. Meantime mayor london breed is back from her trip to china and making a visible push to fight for her job. Shes in the middle of a tough reelection fight with several high profile challengers campaigning on promises of big change, each touting their own solutions to the citys problems from crime to housing crisis. The candidates have made it a strategy of getting out into the citys neighborhoods to hear from voters directly. Wilson walker went along with mayor breed as she walks san bruno avenue in the portola district. Oh, my goodness, leon. You got my grandmother out here in the cold. Reporter in a blustery afternoon wind mayor london breed hit san bruno avenue going door to door along a business corridor with a large chinese population and a sure sign that the campaign and handtohand politics are well underway. You got a whole crew. Come on. Come on. Reporter accompanied by the woman she calls her asian grandmother, breed led a team of supporters up and down this street for some voter outreach. Her other job was never far away. I was asking the mayor if shes going to be fixing the potholes on Mission Street here in San Francisco. We do a lot of low riding there and our cars are getting messed up. You said lowrider. Ill talk to roberta. Sounds good. My hope is by being out here i can answer questions, deal with peoples issues and concerns, even a speed bump that still hasnt happened. Reporter breed must also convince residents that things are Getting Better in San Francisco, something you do hear in the city quite a bit. However, do you feel enough people feel that way and will ultimately in a couple months decide to give you credit for that . Well, my hope is to get credit for it and today out here in san bruno i am talking to people about the various programs that we provide from the city. People are realizing that it is attributed to the work that i am doing as mayor. Reporter so the posters went up along san bruno in some cases rights alongside those of an opponent, a reminder this is a complicated race for the mayor, as voters have options. Its hard to have a conversation about the race with anyone in the city and they dont mention rank choice voting. Do you have any thoughts on that . Well, my thoughts are its important for me to run my race and to talk about all the things that i have done and the fact is and just to talk about safety, crime is down lower than its been in ten years, not including the pandemic, and even in 2024 its continuing to trend down. So we are seeing the difference, but we also have to make sure people feel the difference. So when you hear people say its Getting Better, theyre starting to feel it, but we want them to feel it more consistently and i think thats going to be a determining factor when folks go to the polls, whether or not they see the consistency and we have plenty of time to get there. Reporter the mayor had made one neighborhood walk about since her return from china in chinatown, probably gives you a good idea how the Campaign Team sees this race taking shape with just over 190 days to go until election day. You heard it discussed in that piece there very briefly. First alert weather now, the sun broke through a tiny bit, you wouldnt know it now looking past grace cathedral, breezy, really windy in some places. Yeah.

Weve got details on a calmer weekend forecast coming up in a few minutes. You may have heard about the avian flu outbreak thats already hit the poultry industry pretty hard. It has spread to cattle in several u. S. States. Today San Franciscos Health Department says its monitoring developments, though there are no reported cases here. Health officials stress the bird flu poses a low risk to human. There has been one recent human case, a dairy worker in texas who tested positive. Federal officials found inactive particles of the virus in samples of Grocery Store milk, but the fda says theres no risk to consumers, but there is concern about how the virus might be spreading beyond birds now from one mammal to another. Some alarming pictures out of argentina show a massive dieoff of elephant seals on the beaches late last year. Scientists say more than 18,000 seals were killed, most of them pups. Theres no sign of that now on californias coast, but there is a threat to our elephant seal this pupping season. Brian hackney says its the result of people loving these seals a little too much. Reporter whenever you see an elephant seal in a wheelbarrow, somethings not right. Were bringing in animals every single day. During our peak season right now, march and april, it could be five or six animals a day coming into the hospital. Reporter theres a reason this is peak season here at the Marine Mammal center. Adam radner is the director of conservation engagement. Right now its incredibly busy. Weve got close to 150 patients at the hospital. Reporter it isnt just that its pumping season. Our responders were seeing people get very, very close because these were very sick, lethargic animals. Just moved him from e1 to g2. Reporter john carlo of the center says people are loving these animal as to much. As a result, theres a lot of crowding, selfie taking, which was inhibiting sometimes our ability to respond and added additional stress to an animal that was already very, very sick. Reporter in fact, a new study shows that fully 30 of stranded or sick Marine Mammals had some form of human or dog disturbance. One seal, hop hop, had a boy sitting on top of him to take a selfie and its not just humans. Were seeing groups of people and their offleash dogs surrounding these animals. Reporter but while they are the problem, they can also be the solution. Every animal we get is because someone in the public is giving us a phone call. 415289seal is our hotline that allows you if you see an animal sick or hurt to call the experts. Reporter thats why the Marine MammalCenter Volunteers are here and they cover 600 miles of california shoreline. If you see an animal on the beach that needs help, call the experts. That will let the experts get out there, evaluate if the animal needs help. It does, we can rescue it and give it a Second Chance in life. Reporter giving Marine Mammals a Second Chance, thats what its all about. Elephant seals were hunted to the brink of extinction in the 1800s, but thanks to federal protection theyve bounced back. An estimated 200,000 elephant seals are breeding this season in five National Marine sanctuaries along the pacific coast. Still ahead, winds picking up.

Weve got one more day to go in this weather pattern tomorrow, another upper level storm system, misses us to the north. It will be close enough to squeeze the atmosphere, produce breezy conditions and a chance of a little drizzle, maybe even a passing shower, but then we get into a calmer weather pattern heading into the last weekend of april moving back to pretty much normal april temperatures for the weekend. Lets look at futurecast, a lot of gray indicating cloud cover tonight and tomorrow, but more breaks in the clouds starting to show up tomorrow morning, still a chance for a passing shower. The best chance is either offshore or to our east. Most of the bay area will be in between those zones, just the slightest chance, lower than 20 , of a drops on the windshield. Well see that continue into the afternoon and into the evening. Its going to be flat out windy tomorrow. Overnight the winds wont be as strong but noticeable and gusts potentially over 35 miles an hour, but staying short of the wind advisory threshold of 40mileanhour gusts on a widespread basis. Still, its going to try to move you around the road and rearrange your Patio Furniture as well. Temperatures tonight dropping to the low 50s, a few of the coolest spots in the upper 40s. Despite that above average start, temperatures tomorrow will be about 3 to 6 degrees below average. Lets look at tomorrows forecast highs, only into the mid60s in the santa clara valley, even the warmest spots on the map tomorrow afternoon falling short of 70 degrees. Thats the case far inland in the east bay around antioch. Fremont, redwood city topping out in the low 60s, upper 50s along the coast, barely touching 60 degrees in San Francisco, low 60s for oakland, mid to even upper 60s for the north bay. Your temperatures might be a degree or two warmer because youll see the sunshine emerge a bit faster. Tomorrow even though the sun emerges, it wont be quite suns out tongues out weather for frank in san rafael, but he looks happy, suchs reaching the low temperatures reaching the low 60s. Inland temperatures will have the most visibility. Twoday warm spell tuesday and wednesday, close to 80e did, but back down to near normal temperatures the first weekend in may. Thats a long way down the line. We have the upcoming weekend to focus on which will be pleasant, inland temperatures low to mid70s with plenty of sunshine and warmer readings tuesday and wednesday next week. Inland spots have the biggest warmup. Around the bay temperatures should get around or above 70 degrees a few days. Temperatures along the coast, about a 2 or 3degree warmup at best, but you will see more sunshine emerging earlier in the day saturday continuing through at least the first half of next week. Some of the long range forecast models hint at a shower chance by the end of next week, but thats a long way down the line. Thank you, paul.
