How soon we might expect to see some of the southbound lanes open. we just had a chance to talk to chp. I talk about the accident and how soon we may see the lanes are to reopen and just a second. The accident have been shortly after 530. The s u b on the lefthand side and a second vehicle were involved in the accident. The driver of the st got after the car after the accident and jumped over the Center Divide. At that point he jumped over the Center Divide their ran into traffic and the southbound lane. At that point, that person was struck and killed by at least one vehicle. That vehicle is still outstanding. Chp says dont know who or what struck the person. The driver of the second vehicle was taken to a local hospital where injuries are unknown at this point. As far as on the land will be reopened we were told a couple minutes ago that perhaps the fifth lane in the southbound direction may reopen and about five minutes. I can say that the corner just showed up about five minutes ago and that will take it a little bit of time to do that. But once the corner has taken the body away and then his investigation thats what theyre going to start opening up. Its expected to be relatively short for the south all lanes. The northbound lanes are still come up. It will still be a little while. If you can avoid i would say avoid at all costs at this point. George thanks jackie. This is the northbound side of the freeway. Jackie says the initial accident occurred. And when a switch over to the traffic maps.

Other traffic was able to exit and san jose avenue southbound using brotherhood to get back on interstate 280. Your best bet as jackie says is to avoid the area entirely. Anny are other big story.

Can really put a clamp down on the national title. normally i dont play this game but theres something about ethnic say that i dont mind seen him lose. i was really routine for oklahoma last night. its just from even the way the texas job opened up how next event kind of never said anything to us so he could milk more money out of alabama. Theres something about him. Hes a great coach but when he loses doesnt bother me. this is the first year and allow the we have had controversy are round a championship. Apart in how Everybody Needs something to complain about. Theres a theory of thats at the very least the way its set up now the v c s is that people will talk about it. This team should be here backandforth. And now there wont be any controversy. Theres just four teams and thats it. Fit hoping for a big game monday night. San francisco seminoles. Whats funny about this. Looking at the call last night on espn and you see that to jim mora sphere is interested in talking to him. And honest to got around the end of november he summed a long term goal so i dont give it. At ucla. These guys are making so much money. To have three and a half million to be a college coach. but the deal is he just signed a longterm deal to give his name still out there for texas thrifts its the worst example if you lose a game. As long as you when everythings ok. i guess it is said that about the warriors to. What a big way last night. that was terrific. When you play 82 games this on to the next 13 jasey. When you beat miami and miami thats one that sits with people all season. Seven straight since 2005. What country back there on their way. which is a Stephen Curry is a superstar. is this conversation but im saying hes terrific. Hes fun to watch but i still think he has to do it in the playoffs and the warriors have to advance before you called him one of the top five or six in the game. i think part of it is a well coached team effort where they pushed curry to the forefront. es but nobody shoots like him. You wonder can he do all season long. A guy his size. Hes not a particularly strong guy. Can he keep it up so far so good. its like about that with mark jackson. Ratio by the way. Grteaeat show by the way. oftentimes you sit down with a guide to or three minutes by the time he warms up its overt but i think hes an interesting guy. i always watched him. I watched him play st. Johns. I think hes a great guy. When i see a guy like this i think coaching is not just exxon owes. I think half of it is being a good personality. sent to broaden up on sure theres another guy or two. He played 17 years at a high level. The third all time in assets and then he became a really good broadcaster and now hes a really good coach. Name me somebody else was done all three. I cant as well as he has. only thing i wonder if the warriors finished off have a terrific year like stephen says in an interview. His goal was either to the coaches of the and nicks or more of alberts. And i think coach of the knicks as a better way to go. looks like the have an opening at the end of the year. You just wonder with him. But thanks for bringing that up. I enjoyed that. Mike pelton is doing a very nice job for you. i think mike pelton does a great job. But i was kidding i said mike is not the guy ive got to work. below on sunday is 20 below and a high for the game is 05 below zero. i dont know where he came up with this but im watching steve young glass a ninth and ask him about plane and a cold and he says its five degrees its ok.
