This happened atwo hours ago on almaden expressway right near redmond avenue. Bob redell live at the scene. What can you tell us, bob . Well, laura and sam, unfortunately the woman driver of this blue pickle truck behind us died here at the scene during this solo vehicle accident just before 4 00 this morning. San jose police are still investigating. Still do not know what caused her to ram into the tree. Whether it was drugs or alcohol or else. But, again, it happened around 3 55 and heading southbound on almaden and her pickle truck loaded with a lot of items that are strewn out about the road. Collide with this tree. The two men in vehicle, one in the back was able to escape on his own. The other one was pinned inside and had to be rescued and extricated. Both those men have been taken to the hospital. They were alert and San Jose Police are trying to interview them. To get a better sense of what led up to this fatal accident. Again, one woman dead inside the cab of the blue pickup truck behind me. Southbound almaden shut down their estimated time of opening is not clear yet because were waiting for the medical examiner to show up on the scene here. For more on the traffic, this monday morning commute. Well send it over to mike. Our thoughts are with the family who lost the driver, for example, in that crash. Also as well with those injured. Looking at the commute for this report. Just as bob said from redmond to camden. Access highway 85 without any incident. The bright lights and the activity that distract you. Also coming across highway 17. You heard about a solo spinout right around the summit and slick roads from oerb night rains and with the system coming in, a little slow down. Typical pattern for san jose and the rest of the bay, but that rain is coming in from the other side. Already have kari talking about santa rosa seeing sprinkles and showers and over here the trivalley moving very smoothly and the hayward side of the san mateo bridge. As youre heading towards the carquinez bridge, traffic is smoother now. See a lot more traffic. Things are very smooth right now. The bay bridge toll plaza has the metering lights on. But, guys, i dont often get to show you this so i want to show you. This white on the roadway looks like minecraft. They required chains for interstate 80 and highway 50 coming up towards the South Lake Tahoe area, as well. Keep that in mind, the system is coming in with more weather. This will be an issue.

A jordanian policeman opened fire on foreign trainers at a police comkilling two americans and a south african. Another two americans and four jor dadians were also wounded in the attack at the Police Training center on the outskurts of the jordanian capital of amman. One of the wounded is in Critical Condition. Theman was shot and killed. A security official said the attack happened in the cafeteria. A Government Official says the shooting is a crime scene and an investigation is now under way. The three Santa Clara County deputies accused of beating an inmate to death expected in court later today. Rafael rodriguez, Matthew Farris and lubrin are charged with beating tyree to death. As we first reported last month, investigators say the Deputy Rafael Rodriguez made a number of questionable searches online right after tyrees death. All three deputies currently out on bail are expected to enter a plea this afternoon. Well, the smoke could be seen for miles and this morning nearly two dozen people find themselves out of their homes. A destructive fire in San Franciscos Mission district took a heavy toll on the community. That fire broke out just before 8 00 sunday morning at a tire shop on 16th and shotwell. No nobody was inside the building at the time and for the dozen of People Living nearby, they were given little warning. Theres a fire right next door. Hurry up and get out. I go, i forgot to get my medication which is a lifethreatening pill. They wouldnt let me back inside. The red cross said it had to find shelter for 21 people. It is 6 06 right now. A rule switch is fueling a fight between taxi drivers in san jose. City leaders are considering easing up rules for ride sharing drivers at san jose maneta interal airport. Kris sanchez live this morning. Taxi drivers plan to take some action today, i understand. Yeah. At 8 00, laura, theyre going to stop picking up and dropping off passengers here at maneta san jose. We have seen drivers picking up and dropping off passengers, the plan is to go on strike at 8 00. At that point, maneta san hocould look a lot like sfo did. At that point passengers got stuck in the middle waiting to get a ride out while taxi drivers circled the airport. Tomorrow the city council will consider backing down on requirements for ridesharing companies. Back in june they opened up the airport to city drivers and apply for the city businesses licenses. According to the mercury news not a single lyft driver signed up because of those requirements. While the city will keep the business requirement, it is hitting the brakes on mandatory fingerprinting for ride sharing drivers and the city will consider random checks on a small percentage of drivers, instead. It will also set aside the requirement that uber and lyft drivers be in cars less than ten years old and less than 400,000 miles. Taxi drivers say the city is just caving and making it very difficult for them to do business out here. So, at 8 00 this morning, you will not see any taxi drivers picking up or dropping off, but you will see them circling the airport. At maneta san jose, kris sanchez. Thank you. As you can see on the behind her a bit of sheen on the roadways. Back to the wet weather right now. A live look at the bay bridge from emoryville. The heaviest rain is on its way into the bay area just in time for our morning commute. Lets bring in meteorologist kari hall. If you can get out there early, you should. Now is looking like the best time for the morning commute. As we go into the 8 00 or 9 00 hour, there could be widespread rain. Ive been tracking that rain and still to the north and you see the little is there. That shows the live lightning as we get a closer look at San Francisco and the north bay, thats where were starting to see some more of that wet weather moving in approaching san rafael and as you move into San Francisco, that rain may begin here within the next 30 minutes to an hour. All of this moving in through the day and right now its 46 degrees in livermore and 51 degrees in oakland and San Francisco and santa rosa now at 45 degrees. Heres a look at the futurecast. This is what im expecting as we go through the rest of the morning. The rain ramps up, becomes more widespread. We see the yellows and the reds and that shows a heavier, more intense downpour and that will be off and on through not only the morning hours, but we will see that possibility as we go into the afternoon. And maybe even the evening commute. So, ill give you an idea of how much rain we could measure by the time this is all said and done. And a look at how much snow is falling in the sierra is coming up in a few minutes. Lets check in with mike now to see if youre slowing down just yet. Actually a couple spots. The rain not a bigger issue because as kari showed you, farther north. Farther north in santa rosa, some of that system come in. You can slowing a tad bit, but this is predictable. As we look at your map, what i meant by not yet, nothing really unpredictable is happening yet. Typical pattern here and some traffic held up coming off of the north bay and crash north of the carquinez bridge and traffic mow making its way through the east shore. Concord through pittsburg and bay point and building for southbound 680 through the trivalley and over here 880 over the hayward area down towards the union city. A smooth build and easy build for the san mateo and dumbarton bridge and for the peninsula. Northbound 101 and 8 7 increasing for the morning commute. A note that highway 17 coming over the summit, a solo car s n spinout. Slicker roadways possible. Keep that in mind the overnight rain may be more of an issue than the rain that has not arrived for this portion. The Golden Ticket for the goldener bowl. We reveal ways to score a cheaper seat at the big game now just months away. Apple makes a rare monday morning announcement and cardboard goggles. Well take a look. San joses sports hall of fame will induct its newest class major accomplishment later today. Today at sap center. The 21st annual gala a track champion who went on to win a bronze medal at the 1968 olympic games. Also 49ers quarterback jeff garcia who grew up in gilroy and attended san jose state from 1990 to 1993. Other notable inductees include a groundbreaking choreographer for synchronized swimmering and a soccer legend at san jose state and san jose earthquakes. Super bowl l at levi stadium and no surprise here. If you want to go, the Golden Ticket will cost you. The tickets listed on secondhand sites start around 3,500 to tens of thousands of dollars. He expects this year will be the most expensive average super bowl ticket this year. Not a bad idea to wait to buy tickets because prices typically decrease the day before and even on the day of the game. If you buy taket from a secondhand market, boy, beware. Tickets themselves are not even printed until two weeks before. If you have a super bowl ticket and it looks like a normal ticket, you probably dont have a super bowl ticket. Places you can shine a black light on it and see the various seals. For that much, you better make sure. 30 years since the bay area hosted a super bowl. 49ers beat the dolphins at the old stadium. Face value for the tickets then. Any guesses . 60. You just read that. You just read from my script. I cheated. No, laura. Youre supposed to say that. Play along. I have no idea. Well get to that. 60. Screening bags at levi stadium and also screening bags at apple. Good morning to you, laura. The San Francisco federal judge in the case said saturday that apple store eemployees do not have a reason to complain when their bags are screened as they leave the store. Employees had called it humiliating and complained to management. Eventually it was claimed a workplace violation because theyre not getting paid during the time it takes to search their bags. Now, the judge the case said, bottom line, you dont have to bring a bag to work and dismissed the case. The legal equivalent of you complain to your doctor it hurts when i do that, and the doctor says, dont do that. This is the ipad pro. Apple announced less than an hour ago the ipad pro will go on sale wednesday. This is an enormous ipad. The size of a small computer screen and the most powerful one would cost you 1,000. From rectangle to square. The company says in its latest financial it will sell stock for far less pap this is a big deal because the proposed price is lower than what early investors paid. Why do we care . Because this is backwards from how it is supposed to work. Early investors are not supposed to lose money. Two more issues. Number one, it colonize to question the value of other socalled Unicorn Companies and by extension, the question many peoples jobs. Two, square is going tahave to make good with those early investors. Make up for their losses and that will cost the company a lot of money. Over the weekend, New York Times handed out Virtual Reality goggles to its readers. Came with the sunday paper and not only in a Cardboard Box but theyre made of cardboard. You open it up and download the New York Times app to your phone and put the phone in there and watch various videos from times reporters. Videos like this one showing the devastation caused by war. Heres another one and what it does to children. Now, the video youre seeing here doesnt move. Its from one point of view. But the idea is, as you look around, you can look down into the water, up into the sky and all the video moves with you. You can download it for just your phone. You dont have to have these and the whole interesting way of telling a story. Being able to look around the whole classroom and see whats happening. So innovative. It is. Its cool. As a Cardboard Box. Thank you, sir. All right. Well, the Weather Report from each of the 50 states in just seven days. That would take a lot of planning, a lot of traveling. Who would attempt such a thing . Today show al roker, of course. Upping the challenge of his rokerthon 2. His 34hour nonstop forecast. Certainly you remember that. He set out to deliver a local forecast in every state in just seven days. Yesterday he was in sacramento standing next to kari hall. Next to our very own kari hall. From the logistics how he made this trip work. I have seen all 50 states but it took me 40 years to do it in my career and now ill do it in a week. Planes, trains, automobiles. All sorts of stuff. I think we may even have the Oscar Meyer Wiener mobile at one point. Rokerthon 2 began on friday in hawaii. A fundraising for feeding america, an organization devoted to feeding those most in need. Hes already out there on the go. You have an official rokerthon flag. He is only there for a few minutes, but it was funny because i had the picture on my Facebook Page and my mom goes, he needs to shave. And thats also for charity. Thats to raise awareness for mens health issues. Noshave negative. I want sam to do it. I want a beard. I have not shaved for six months. And, yeah, the weather has been really a big issue for us this morning because, finally, were getting some rain. This is kind of typical for an el nino year. Not one event, more of making the weather events that are the systems that we see rolling through here. Little bit more intense and bringing a little bit more rain. Thats what were seeing this morning with the regular cold front moving through. And some of the showers moving in. We have some showers and thunderstorms that we will be watching through the rest of the morning. And temperatures will not warm up much today. Were looking at highs today in the upper 50s to lower 60s. Look for a high of 61 degrees in oakland and danville today. Up to 60 degrees. Off and on rain, not only this morning, but heres a look at the futurecast and when we see the bright reds and the yellows, that shows some really heavy do do downpours and the possibility of some storms, too. Then it continues off and on becoming more spotty as you go through the day and windy and also kind of chilly, too. Even at 5 30 this evening during the evening commute, some rain could be slowing you down. And then that snow moves on over to the sierra. After that, moisture moves away from the bay area. As far as how much rain we could see, the possibility of 0. 3 or 0. 4. You already h0. 5 around gilroy and to the south. The snow in the sierra could make it up to 12 inches, maybe 14 inches for kirkwood. Really happy about that snow. We also for the interior parts of the north bay may have some freezing temperatures tonight. So that is for of thosias farther to the north. Snow in the sierra up to a foot, once again. So, chains on if youre heading in that direction. Lets check in now with mike to see if youre slowing down for the morning commute. Looking at building volume for the san mateo bridge. Here the span itself moves very well, and looking at some haze and thatm coming in from the coast. Lets look at your map and were talking about the san mateo bridge and the peninsula side and well see the system change over the next hour or so. The dumbarton bridge not a big deal. As we zoom out, no real surprises here. The bay bridge metering lights are on and in San Francisco there is a crash, though, getting off the bay bridge blocking one, maybe two lanes as you transition. Seeing that backup off the skyway going back just past treasure island. That is an issue until they can clear that. The rest of your bay moves very smoothly, though. Northbound through san jose and starting to down and southbound there is that deadly crash farther south. And that will be an issue for folks heading off of that off ramp and maybe activity at the off ramp causing distraction and live look san jose volume traffic and pretty typical for the rest of the silicon valley. Back to you. Thank you, mike. There are sinkholes and then there is this. Take a look at this. In mississippi a sinkhole that gulped down cars. What witnesses moments before that ground gave way. Sam vo if you did not see it in person you saw photos or video of it over the weekend. A follow up now on what was supposed to be a secret.

Unforchly in time for the main morning commute right around 8 00 and were starting to see some of those showers and these thunderstorms moving into the san rafael and santa rosa area and then the rest of the bay area showing spotty showers and that is more widespread, once again, as we go through the morning. If you can get out there now, the best time to get on the road. More times of rain and chilly temperatures and expect highs today only in the upper 50s to lower 60s. Ill give you another look at the timing of the rain coming up in a few minutes, but for now, ill send it back to you, sam and laura. Well take a look outside right now and the beautiful bay bridge. Weve already seen some problems on the roadways. The chp also warning drivers to take it slow. Pete joins us live from San Francisco and youve been watching the Road Conditions all morning. How are things picking up now . You notice only a little bit chilly out here and when the rain hits you can expect slick roads and chp tweeted out and they sent that out on social media and telling folks to slow down because of these wet conditions. Also to brake earlier. Give yourself some distance. So, avoid any possible accidents and also to be careful of standing water that could be much deeper than you think and they responded to several crashes yesterday because of the weather. Including a fatal one off the 101 in santa rosa. Give on the wet roads you didnt have as good of traction and that is what caused you to go sideways. Slow down in the wet weather. It definitely makes a difference. Well continue to bring you updates on those changing weather conditions as they come in. All right, pete, thank you very much. Breaking news now in the south bay. Traffic is moving, but slowly on a busy road in south san jose after a deadly car crash. This happened about 2 1 2 hours ago on almaden expressway right near redmond avenue. Bob redell with the very latest. San jose police still dont know theyre still trying to figure out what caused a woman who is hind the wheel of that blue pickup truck what caused her before 4 00 this morning to lose control of her pickup and slam it ina large pepper tree here on southbound almaden expressway. Just south of the redmond intersection. The impact was so strong, it sent a hand truck, one of those dollies if youve seen it before in the back of the pickup and sent that flying about 30 feet into the air. Now the crash killed the driver who police say was in her mid30s. The impact also seriously injured her two male passengers who are also in her mid30s. One of the men was able to cross the back and the other one was stuck in the front and had to be extricated by the fire department. Both of them taken to the hospital, again, serious injuries. But they are both expected to survive. The Police Department would like to interview them and get bater sense of what led up to the crash. Right now, they do not have an indication of drugs or alcohol. The roads were wet, but they dont know if that had anything to do with this. A lot of items in that pickup truck as you see back out here live. They dont know if it was overloaded or if that had anything to do with it. They are still trying to figure that out. The southbound almaden expressway shut down. And the estimated time of reopening is another hour, perhaps another hour and a half and an issue of removing the medical truck. Reporting live here in san jose, redell today in the bay. We take a look for bob as i left off here southbound 85 is closed still from camden. A good distance off of 85 and some slowing in the last report and that cleared up quickly. No closure just the southbound and the northbound side is open towards highway 85. Our biggest concern, of course, for the people involved in that crash and saddened for the person we lost. Well transition to that portion of the report. Nothing dramatic for the south bay and crash westbound 80 getting off that bay bridge and 101. Not weather relalted as far as we can tell, but blocking a couple lanes and tying up traffic across the span right now. As that rain system comes in that kari is talk about.

If youre traveling into or out of sfo today and youre worried aboutthe strike. The spokesperson for the says they have a plan to call in other taxies that are permitted to work here at the airport.
