In the last 30 minutes we spoke with chp who tells us they are barely starting to investigate this accident and are not sure why this woman was driving the wrong way. We do not know. We did get multiple calls with multiple locations. One location was northbound 101 abby 280 split, so, its possible they couldve been traveling for quite some time. Reporter at this point the identities of everyone involved are still unclear or it not at least not being released. The woman who was driving the wrong way in the volkswagen was in her 30s. The taxicab driver was a man in his 60s and its unclear the identities are ages of the two other victims. Here is another live look of this accident. It has closed down two lanes are i should say three lanes of northbound 101. The far left lanes have just reopen in the last five minutes.

The season suddenly ending after winning 97 regularseason games. This loss is solely on me. I had one job and i did poorly. Really poorly and, i let everyone down, so, its, it sucks. More than 50,000 fans jammed into the coliseum, hoping to see the as advance in the postseason. Instead, the fans left disappointed. Well, they lost. Mainly because they did not get the hits when they needed them. Tampa bay. We thought we could beat them. Its a let down. As fans say they still feel optimistic about the teams future because they have young talent and theres a possibility of a new ballpark being built. In the meantime the rays will play the Houston Astros in the American League Division Series that starts tomorrow morning right here on fox sports 1. Is an update to the as plans to build a new ballpark. The Oakland City Council seem to be backing off from a lawsuit blocking the as from buying a portion of the coliseum land from Alameda County. Councilmember Rebecca Kaplan says the council is approving direct talks with the county. The coliseum site is owned gently by oakland and Alameda County and the as want to build a park at Howard Terminal by funding it through building a retail and Housing Development on the coliseum land. The baseball commissioner hinted that if oakland goes through with the lawsuit the league may possibly allow the team to relocate. In an interview with the chronicle commissioner manfred said , quote, i think what a tragedy for oakland to lose its last major professional sports team.

I love how we always have the power of 2. We have news and sports. Whatever else you need. Right now you need an update from sal because unfortunately this is a horrendous start to the commute. The lanes have open. Northbound 101 in San Francisco. Thats right. If youre just joining us there was a deadly collision at 12 30 am on northbound 101 near paul avenue. It involved a taxicab and another, and a wrongway driver. The taxicab carrying two passengers. The driver and the two passengers in that car, as you can see, were killed. That car, the volkswagen, was driving the wrong way. Northbound 101 just before paul avenue. For a while the entire northbound lanes were shut down. Now they have a couple of lanes open on northbound 101. As you can see on the left. Theyre still doing investigation. Chps Major Accident Investigation Team is on the scene. Northbound 101 traffic is getting through. I would suggest if this is your route come give yourself an extra 10 or 15 minutes just because its going to be slow past the scene and it does look like they are still doing investigation and cant get those vehicles out until they do the measurements. Four people died in this collision. A very sad morning. This is now a look at the area, northbound 101 coming up from the brisbane area and south city. I would use 280 instead. 280 is open. Traffic is light at this hour. The east bay commute looks all right. Slow traffic here and there. The gilroy and solano commutes have been all right and 880 south traffic is off to a good start. Lets get to it. We have a weak system brushing us that will usher in a cooler trend today. Warming up for the weekend. Mostly sunny. If you high clouds. You can see that system. Any rain has been confined to the north and you get an idea here in you can see there is a dip in the jet stream. That will equal a cooler pattern. See how thats driving e reverse that it was going up we would be warmer. That is taking a dip in the upper air and that will allow cooler temperatures to come in. 60s and 70s. Should be 70s and 80s. 64 in San Francisco. The normal is 70. Below again. Be missed by one yesterday but another day of below. Its been that way for week. Santa rosa, oakland, concord and san jose taking a dive on the temperatures. Anywhere from 36 or 7 degrees. 40s and 50s. Not as many 30s. The humidity is up and the could be there are a couple 30s and that. More 40s than anything else. Or 50s closer to the coast. 27 in truckee. 47 in sacramento. And overall you see those higher clouds. They are washing out. A dry front for us. This will kick up the breeze once it goes through and thats in the next couple of hours. We will have more of a cooler breeze today and mostly sunny skies. Partly cloudy to the north. Cooler and breezy a time but warmer weather is on top for the weekend. Crazy heart but i think we get mid 80s. 60s and 70s. These are below average for this time of year so our roller coaster. Breezy on friday and warmer weather. Sunny side up as we go into the weekend. 521 you. New laws in california designed to reduce the threat of wildfire. Next, we hear from the bay area lawmaker behind a package of bills just signed into law by the governor. Federal investigators have started looking into the crash of a world war ii plane. Seven people were killed but emergency Officials Say quick thinking by bystanders cut the number of casualties from being higher. Welcome back to mornings on 2. Governis set to sign bill that will be the first Major Overhaul to the States Charter schools law. The Governors Office of the bill increases transparency, empowers communities to consider the fiscal impact of new Charter Schools on existing schools and protects high performing Charter Schools. The original Charter School law was enacted 27 years ago. California also has nearly 2 dozen new laws aimed at reducing the threat of wildfires. They include the standards for homes and increased oversight of Utility Companies. One of the laws allows an independent auditor to make sure utilities conduct needed tree trimming in hifi is danger areas. Another calls for Utility Companies to make sure people with Health Conditions have generators or a safe place to go in fire safety power blackouts. I think that this will save lives and property and hopefully be able to sleep a little fire resistant building standards and increasing enforcement of Defensible Space around homes. Pg e says its equipment may have sparked nine wildfires in california so far this year according to a report from politico. That would be in addition to the hundreds of wildfires apparently called caused by pg e power lines over the past several years including the deadly camp fire indiana county. The revelation comes from Court Filings submitted by the utility. Pg e did not say which buyers were sparked by its equipment but was told by a judge it had one week to provide the information. Tuesday is the second anniversary of the deadly series of fires in the north bay and now the hardhit city of santa rosa is rolling out a new evacuation plan. The lease and fire say a new highloci will let people know of imminent danger while a new smart apple give a number of evacuation routes after typing in an address. There is also an improved photo system. The city of santa rosa has e system. The Emergency Alert system. Weve also taken a Sonoma County has access to a network of cameras available to the public. The idea is to give people as much notice as possible to a fire that may be heading that direction. Safety officials in San Francisco are announcing plans to increase security during fleet week. San franciscos department of Emergency Management will team up with local, state and federal Law Enforcement and the military to keep the city safe. Fleet week will start this sunday and runs through october 16. The city will also host more than 60 other events during the same timeframe. Lanes are closed but traffic is starting to move northbound 101. There was a we will take you to the scene for a look at how the traffic is moving through the area and the latest on the investigation into what happened new detailsd trumps phone call with the ukrainian president. Coming up, how the white house is responding to the claims while democrats prepare to hear from former special envoy to ukraine. In the human brain, billions of neurons play in harmony.

Thursday, october 3. Im dave clark. Im pam cook. Thank you for joining us. Top story. We have a traffic problem. If youre just joining us. San francisco. A woman driving the wrong way on northbound 101, crashed into a taxi. You can see this is what is left of those two cars. Four people were killed in the crash and the highway was closed for some time. They did start to open the lanes just a short time ago. We do have complete coverage of that overnight crash. Sal has a voice on the commute but first lets go to Cristina Rendon who was at the crash scene. Reporter good morning. There is still a partial closure of northbound 101. You can see behind us how incredibly sad this scene is. This taxicab is up on the railing, on the shoulder lane and a volkswagen is also smashed. Incredible damage and very sad from what we see. We understand this started around 12 30 am. That volkswagen, a woman and that car was driving the wrong way on northbound highway 101 when she crashed into that taxi. That taxes had an active fare and was driving two passengers and unfortunately everyone involved in this accident has passed away. The driver of the taxi cab was a man in his 60s. The woman in the volkswagen who was driving the wrong way is a woman in her 30s. Its unclear, the passengers of the taxi, their identities or ages. We spoke a couple of minutes ago with a taxicab driver who came to the scene who tried to find out exactly what was going on. Two i dont know. Im feeling bad when i saw the taxi and it had two people on the floor. I said, oh, my god. I dropped my client often came back. I cant go home like this. I need to know who is the driver. Reporter that woman says she works for national taxi. She believes its the same company that this taxicab was involved in. The same company and she warned other drivers at the airport not to come this way. There was some luggage found on the scene so its possible those passengers in the taxi had just been picked up from the airport. Thats something were still looking into. You can see its going to be quite some time before these two right lanes are open. We are second and third lanes blocked by chp. You can see the two far left lanes have reopened in the last 30 minutes in traffic is slowly making its way through but its going to be a long commute. Give yourself some extra time if you travel northbound 101 willie paul avenue exit near the candlestick area. This is an area where traffic will be slow because of this accident. This is still under investigation by chp. They looking into whether drugs or alcohol may have played a factor. Cristina rendon, ktvu fox 2 news. Lets quickly go to sal. Thats right. As was mentioned this happened just before 12 30 am. For a while the freeway was shut down and come again, we still have this investigation going on. One of the reasons why they have not moved those vehicles is because the chp Major Accident Investigation Team, which is called for the seeking of a particularly bad crash, is still there doing measurements, taking down the details as they will report and thats why they have not really move the vehicles yet. Two left lanes are still open. Three right lanes are closed. I just want to mention that traffic on northbound 101, now that they have opened those lanes, has improved a bit but i would still use 280. The east bay commutes. Westbound 580 at 205. Slow traffic which is typical. As a look around the east bay i can pull the map back and then searching for the red. Highway 4 has some. 242 have some what you can see the peninsula is still pretty good. Most of the commute is still okay. You can jump ahead of the crowd and we will let you know when things start getting busy. What about todays weather . Lets bring it will be a littl today. We have a weak system brushing us with maybe if you high and low clouds. A little cooler on the thames. Temperatures went up a little bit. Most in the upper 70s and mid 70s. Temperatures are sliding back today. The cooler thursday followed by a warmer weekend. Today is a dip in the legal backup. It will be extreme. Back into the mid80s for some. That system is brushing us as that upperlevel jet stream takes a dip. See how it goes right there . Thats ushering in a cooler pattern. 60s and 70s. The normally 70s and 80s. Livermore, santa rosa but not today. 64 and 53 in the city. Below on both. Thats been the theme this week. 40s and 50s. If you 30s but far n the last couple of morning. East bay temperatures in the 40s and 50s. There are some low 40s in there. Most are in the 40s, upper 40s and 50s. Thats the system. Not much to it. Once this goes through, High Pressure will kick in. He cooler thursday. Mostly sunny with highs kicking and into the 60s and 70s. Today House Democrats will hear from a former special envoy to ukraine as part of their impeachment inquiry. Doug luzader joins us live from washington, d. C. Where the legal battle between democrats and the president is quickly escalating. Reporter this is just the start. In coming days we see a series of interviews as democrats move forward on impeachment. Ask at this gentleman a question. Reporter President Trump lashing out at democrats and reporters. Reporter ive answered everything. Its a whole hoax. And you know whos playing into the hoax . People like you and the fake news media. Reporter that followed House Speaker nancy pelosi tried to convey a calm and methodical approach. We will have investigations and questioning that are worthy of the constitution of the United States. Reporter but already some complications. A revelation in the New York Times that the democrats point person on impeachment congressman adam schiff had prior knowledge of the whistleblower complaint at the heart of all of this, something he did not disclose. It shows that schiff is a fraud. Reporter but the president is besieged by one development after another. The white house is expected to be under subpoena for documents pertaining to ukraine in the phone call where President Trumps asked the president of ukraine to investigate former Vice President joe biden and his son. Any other updates . No comment . Reporter and yesterday the state Department Inspector general delivered to congress a mysterious packet behind closed doors said to contain conspiracy theories about ukraines involvement in the 2016 election. All of this at the same time the democrats are trying to narrow down there impeachment case to convince the public that the president should be removed from office and all of these side issues could be a growing concern. The democrats are worried that this will sort of spiral on and on and they want to do something crisp and quick. That will certainly be in the political interest i think. Reporter democrats in the meantime say the continuing legal battles over documents may be more grounds for impeachment. Back to you guys. Here is a look at some of the top stories this morning. The epa issued a notice of environmental violations to the San Francisco Public Utilities commission. Accusing San Francisco of dumping 2 billion gallons of untreated wastewater into the ocean every year. The epa is threatening to impose civil penalties.
