Theres the big rig, still on its side. Traffic has been at a crawl after that big rig crash. You can see some traffic moving by. But a lane closure on a friday morning, not a good sign. At one point, this was blocking lanes on both sides of 580. Ktvus katie utehs has been on the scene all morning and coming up in minute, shes gonna tell us how much longer it should take crews to clear the wreckage. Good morning. Welcome to mornings on 2.

We do have the truck crash, i want to mention the backup here. Weve been following it all morning long. We have a reporter on the scene. But our newschopper2 has been following the 580 backup into tracy. Its little long. Were taking a long time this morning to get through the backup and driving over to dublin. Its taken more than an hour. Thats because a lot of the traffic is taking a look at the crash. Katie utehs will have a look at what happened and what they are doing to clear the truck. The trailer part is on 580. Well have a live report from the scene. This is the bay bridge toll plaza. Its backed up for about a 25 to 30minute delay.

It spilled and crews to have try to flip it upright before they can tow it off the instate to the next exit. So the chp is having to shut down these eastbound lanes to get this truck off the roadway. Let me show you some video from when we first arrived. The crash happened aferped around around 4 15. You can see the semitruck in the westbound lanes of i580. Im told the semi may have swerved to miss a pickup truck that was possibly stalled along the road. Chp is still investigating. They are not sure if the issue with the semitruck came first or the issue with the pickup truck. The driver of the pickup truck was transported with minor injuries, complaints of minor injuries, but is expected to be okay. The driver of the semitruck is okay. I spoke with him briefly. He was quite shaken up but didnt want to talk on camera. If we take a live look, newschopper2 is overhead. You can see all lanes of westbound 580 are open. But it is still quite a mess. The damage was done early in the commute and the truck portion is still along the shoulder, along the median of the highway. So people slowing down to look at the wreckage causing delays and then, of course, people driving in the eastbound direction where the lanes are just closed down to two and may be closed off and on as they try to spin this tractor trailer around and get it off the interstate. Im told by chp that we could expect this to be on the roadway for another hour or so.

An overturned big rig causing delays at 580. Were going to katie utehs, still at the scene. Katie, are they making any progress there . Reporter unfortunately, the flatbed tow truck that they need to put this trailer on is stuck in the traffic behind me. This is eastbound i580, which is pushed down to two lanes because the trailer of the semitruck that crashed this morning around 4 15 is still in the eastbound lanes. Now, that is a tractortrailer full of cattle cattle grain. Im told its too heavy to lift it upright. So they are waiting on the tow truck to lead it on the trailer. Let me show you video from earlier this morning of the initial crash scene. So im told that a pickup truck was stalled, possibly along the shoulder or the fifth grain of westbound 580 at vasco road. The semitruck driver tried to serve to miss that pickup truck. From there, the semitruck driver came into the Center Divide and the load fell over into the eastbound lanes, and im told that one of the driver, the pickup driver, was transported to the hospital with minor injuries. The chp Public Information office has arrived on scene. What have you learned about the investigation and how this all started . Your summary is right on. Thats what were looking at right now. The reason that the big rig driver served is unknown. Possibly cut off, fell asleep, still under investigation. The issue here is for the second time this week, we have a big rig trailer impacting traffic and causing severe commute problems in the trivalley area. Reporter any idea when this is gonna be ultimately cleared up. I just talked with the tow operator in charge of the recovery operations. He said by 9 00 we should have all lanes clear. Well try to beat that. The backup is about three, three and a half miles, a half hour delay. Westbound, even on a light friday commute is significantly longer. Reporter thank you for joining us. As we talking big delays both directions. Chopper 2 has been out here all morning bringing you shots of that backup which at some point has spans on the westbound direction to tracy as sal has been telling us throughout the morning. Hopefully the flatbed trailer will be here soon and both lanes will be completely open. At this point, all five lanes westbound are open. But theres still a lot of people that are lookyloos. Slowing down to look at it. Weve also seen a few people snapping foe tote. Please dont do that. You are gonna cause another collision. Drive through here. They will hopefully have the scene cleared soon when the semitruck trailer arrives. Katie utehs, ktvu channel 2 news. Well, developing news from antioch now.

The Smart Start Program by the chp uses video from real crashes including one in concord where a speeding teenaged driver killed a father and daughter back in 2010. The chp says tasers make up 4 of drivers but they are responsible for 66 of all traffic crashes. Thats the number one killer. That by itself should be scary to parents. Even with the parentings, the chp says its safer for teens to start driving before the age of 18 so they have more supervised time behind the wheel. A Traffic Alert for people driving on the Golden Gate Bridge this weekend. Some of the lanes to the toll plaza, they are gonna be closed from 9 00 tonight to as late as 7 00 tomorrow morning.

A major cleanup in Santa Cruz Harbor after one of the worst anchovy dieoffs since the 80s. Hundreds forced it to close. The anchovies are attracting sea birds and sea lions. The smell out there is pretty strong. Wildlife experts say the mass dieoff happened after a large school swarmed the harbor on wednesday. The anchovies were apparently trying to get away from predators and used up all of the oxygen. And they are looking for a safe place to stay and they swim up the harbor, deplete the oxygen and die. The dead fish can also damage boats. One boat ramp and kayak and paddleboard rentals, they are closed as a result while the volunteers skim all of the fish from the water. Dieoffs in the harbor are not uncommon, but this may be the biggest one since 1984. Health officials are warning people to stay out of the water at three santa cruz beaches because of the large number of sea birds feeding on the fish. Officials say the bacteria levels are not safe for swimmers at new brighton state beach, main and cowell beach west of the wharf. Caltrans is responding to a new report thats highly critical of the construction on the bay bridge. They found theres a lack of Quality Control that calls into question the bridges longterm endurance. They point to the many problems including bad bolts and rods.

There is a larger engineering consensus that was reached on specific issues like the quality of the welds during the fabrication process.

Meanwhile, if you are trying to get on the b. A. R. T. System, one thing i can tell you, you can go to the west dublin station and trains are leaving from there, from the west dublin station going to their normal route.

Were live in San Francisco with those workers right there on columbus avenue, a downed tree out there caused serious traffic problems this morning. You can see they are still out there. In the past 40 minutes, the crews cleared a way the tree. Even though its gone, theres still traffic problems and delays in the area. Ktvus Cristina Rendon is also there. Coming up in two minutes, cristina will tell us what the holdup is and how long it will take to get traffic moving out there. Thank you for joining us. Friday, the very first day of august.

System because of a suspicious item found on the platform. This is at the end of the dublin pleasanton lane. Its very close to the freeway, as you know. Weve heard there is a consideration that they may shut down part of this freeway at some point to check out the platform where this item was found. So far, 580 is moving through very well in both directions. B. A. R. T. Riders are being directed to go to the west dublin station just down the road and then trains are coming in and leaving for that spot with little or no delay. However, you cannot go to the dublin pleasant on station if its closed. A train hit a pedestrian this morning at about 7 30. This pedestrian was seriously injured and is being airlifted to a hospital. We know that amtrak shares the line with these Freight Trains that run there. Were were getting first reports it was a Freight Train. Amtrak will be affected because they share the same tracks. We have a reporter on the way to that. Lets take a look at interstate 880 here in oakland. Northbound traffic is moderately heavy. Whun you get to the bay bridge toll plaza, its about 25, 30 minutes wait time. Cristina rendon is live in north beach where a fallen tree has rerouted some lines there. Reporter weve seen the delays for commuters. That intersection behind us is columbus and broadway. It has been busy with cars all morning, all because the street still remains blocked off. Thats exactly why. Crews are still working to restore service to that power line that came down when a large portion of a ficus tree fell onto columbus avenue. It came down around 4 30 near the green street intersection and the power had to be cut to that muni line, causing the 41 line to reroute. Its been going around the block instead of right through columbus. Its caused minor delays. Muni will have that up and running by this afternoon. In a separate incident, we want to tell you about a power outage that temporarily shut down munis Subway Service from Church Street to embarcadero. About a dozen shuttle buses were brought in to help. It caused delays and gaps in service. Theyve had their hand busy all morning working with these problems. Its always a busy morning on muni. Its a very complex issue. Theres 700,000 people who take the system every day. We have 7 different lines and routes throughout the 72 different lines and routes throughout the day. Its always a busy day. We try to respond to every issue as fast as possible. Reporter police say the portion of the tree brought dune was caused down was brought down by natural causes. They are still trying to restore the service line and cutting down any portion of the tree that may be hanging. But the majority of the tree has been cleared off the street. Were expecting that this road, columbus avenue, will reopen within the next hour or two. Live in San Francisco, Cristina Rendon, ktvu channel 2 news. All right, cristina. Happening today shuttle buses for google and other corporate shuttle buses, they will have to start to pay. 11 shuttle operators will be charged 3. 55 per stop. More than triple the original proposal. Now, under the test run, the shuttles will be allowed to share all areas that are designated as muni bus stops. Its still unclear if an elderly man will face charges for crashing into a restaurant and injuring three people. The driver was trying to Parallel Park at the University Cafe in downtown palo alto. Investigators believe he accidentally stepped on the gas instead of the brake and then his car jumped the curb and hit people eating outside. Three victims suffered cuts and bruises. Two others needed surgeries, a man in his 70s and 30s with injuries to his legs. Hes considered the most severely injured. It was certainly a shock. Ive never seen anything like this happen before. It was really crazy. The people he got were worse than he was. The driver had injuries to his arm, most likely as a result of his air bag deploying. Police dont believe drugs or alcohol were factors. The investigation is still ongoing. We have breaking news in the east bay. We first told you about this a halfhour ago. Emergency crews in antioch now at the scene where someone was hit by a train. Ktvus Tara Moriarty just got there minutes ago. So what do you know, tara . Reporter we understand that the man who was hit by the train was a homeless man, and we understand that he was airlifted just minutes ago to John Muir Medical Center in walnut creek. And if you look behind me, you can see there are crews removing some of what looked like may have been his belongings, duffel bags and things like that. It appears that it was a Freight Train involved. You can see the Freight Train has come to a complete standstill. But these are tracks that are shared with amtrak. So we could see some amtrak interruptions. Were at 6th and 8th streets. We did get off the captain with captain marshal from the Contra Costa County fire district. He says this man was struck about 7 30 this morning. Were here the numberton Shipyard Road area. He was criticically injured. We have video of the helicopter after it landed at John Muir Medical Center. Were told that there is a bridge nearby that we can see. We dont know if the person was hanging out near the bridge. We know the train involved was a Freight Train and it will have to stay here on the scene for quite a while while this investigation continues. We will, of course, try to keep you posted on the condition of the man. If we pan to the right over here, you can see that this is a homeless encampment.
