On 2. We are live in hayward near an 880 onramp where a car crashed into a mother who was pushing her bay bridge in bib bay in a controller baby in her stroller. Alex savidge just spoke with a witness to the crash about what he saw and the conditions that witness thinks may have led to the crash. Thursday, march 19. I am tori campbell. Good morning. I am dave clark. Lets talk about weather and traffic. Spring is almost here, steve. Tomorrow. I will turn it up. All right. Well, we have been trying to follow the weather, which has been yeah. Steve needs to turn his mic on. So i guess we are going to go to sal right now and talk about traffic. All right. We are going to start off with the bay bridge toll plaza because thats one of those commutes that everybody always wants to see. Westbound at the toll plaza, i wanted to let you know its at least a 25minute delay. We have checked with public transportation, in case you do want to take your bart train to the city instead of taking the car. This morning that would be a pretty decent option for you because bart is doing well. They have no major delays reported. I also want to check out, look at interstate 880 oakland and the traffic is moving along nicely in both directions. If you are trying to catch a flight at sfo, it is night. Yesterday kind after bad day on the freeway. Today its okay here. Let me show you a little bit of traffic father south. It is backed up on 880 south from 238. We have had a couple of minor wrecks on the way between 238 and highway 84. A little bit south of that there has also been a minor wreck is traffic is slow. Then in san jose northbound 101, slow traffic as you drive up to the 880 interchange. Northbound 280 is slow approaching highway 217. Now lets get to steve. Silence is golden, but can you hear me now . I can. Thank you. We have mostly clear skies. There is a little bit of fog towards san mateo, santa cruz. But its going to be sunny and nice to warm today. Just some patchy fog. Lots of sun and almost a little mini summer pattern here with 60s by the coast and low 80s inland. Of course, we will expand those as we get closer to may and june. A little system to the north may give a little bit of a westerly breeze. 39. There it is. Napa airport. 44 livermore and 46 half moon bay. We is have some low overcast. Clouds to the north. Not for us today. They will be here tomorrow. Clouds in Southern California. This weak system will give us a cooldown starting tomorrow. Look at arizona. I mean, anybody heading to spring training looks like it could be dicey for some, especially around phoenix. They are getting a lot of thunderstorm activity and rain. Some of that is moving into Southern California, but not here. Mild to warm. Patchy fog near parts of the coast. Upper 70s to low 80s inland. In fact, temperatures well above average. Back to the desk to dave and tori is. Thank you, receive. New developments in a horrific crash in hayward. A young mother was pushing her child in a stroller when they were hit by an suv. Now a witness is talking to us this morning about what he saw. Ktvu fox 2s alex savidge joins us. Reporter that man described for us just a horrible scene last night. The mother in this case, he says, was on the ground bleeding and then not far away a stroller with that baby boy still strapped inside. Mother and child, they were both the in this crosswalk when they were hit last night. Thats according to the chp. This is right at the entrance to northbound 880 from tennyson road. Its an area of course where cars pick up speed as they head on to the freeway. The crash happened about seven last night. A white suv slammed into the 21yearold woman and her 1yearold son leaving them both with major injuries. The driver, the victim, a 22yearold woman from hayward, stayed at the scene and cooperated with investigators. It does not look like she was under the influence. And we talked this morning with a man who just happened to be riding on his bike right after last nights crash who came upon the accident. The man speaks only spanish and he talked to us about the disturbing scene. I have never seen anything like had. I had trouble sleeping thinking about the little boy and the young woman. Reporter that man also said it can be quite dangerous to cross this freon ramp because cars are speeding up and there is no light to stop the traffic. The chp now trying to figure out exactly how fast the suv was going last night and whether speed was the factor in the crash. The chp also says they will be considering the time of day this happened. The sun was setting at that time. Again about 7 00 last night. And that may have contributed to the crash as well. The suv was heading westbound when the accident happened. Tori, the driver in this case has not been cited. She was allowed to go home last night. All right. Thanks, alex. Time is 7 05. Meantime an examiner reports a request was made last week at the juvenile Probation Commission hearing. The council says they dont carry weapons. Having pepper spray, they say, will help them. Officials say pepper spray can be misused. The Department Says it plans to install better security cameras to help improve the safety and security. Well, we are learning more about the female driver who was shot and killed tuesday night by San Francisco police. There is now a small memorial where it happened. Police say 24yearold alice brown was driving recklessly near van nuys avenue and pine street. They say she drove the wrong way on a oneway street. She sideswiped parked cars and tried to run over Police Officers before they shot and killed her. Browns brother told the chronicle his sister lived a troubled life, including drug addiction. The police chief will be holding a town hall meeting talking about that shooting. That town hall meeting will be monday at 6 p. M. At saint lukes church. The San Francisco zoo is denying claims its spying on its employees. Officials say they bought a new radio system to handle energies. However, the Teamsters Union is accusing zoo management of turning on a feature in the radios that lets officials eavesdrop on private conversations of their employees. Now, the union has scheduled a News Conference for today. Zoo Officials Say they have no interest in monitoring conversations of employees and they have disabled the listening feature on those radios. 7 07. A dialogue about race over a cup of coffee is happening at starbucks. Janine de la vega joins us live from san jose to explain why this idea is causing so much controversy. Reporter its been interesting. Starbucks is asking baristas to write the words race together on their customers coffee cups or put this sticker on the cups. The point of doing what is so the barista can strike up a conversation about Race Relations with the customers. They say they dont want to hold up the line and they say this is an offensive topic. The concept hasnt been getting warm fuzzy reviews online either. There has been backlash on the campaign started by starbucks county howard schultz. One starbucks executive received so many mean tweets that he deleted its twitter account. Schultz says he didnt want to be a silent bystander and thinks by having baristas openly engaged in conversation with customers, it would be helpful. Heres what one customer had to say this morning. I think its great. I should have got one on my cup. Reporter some were saying they are a little uncomfortable having to answer questions about that. I dont think its a big deal. I think its something that they should be more educated on for the Customer Base so they can get it on there. Fanned we have questions, they should be able to answer them without a problem. Reporter schultz is telling the baristas if they dont want it on their cup to give customers a new cup and drop the conversation. One customer told us off camera he thought this whole idea was just a bunch of bologna. Those were his words. We havent really gotten too many negative comments. Nothing negative on camera. But that could be because this is sort of an emotionally charged topic and all the mean comments we have only seen online. But again that is because people can sort of hide behind their computers. So it really, again, depends on who you ask. Tori. All right. Well, kind of to that point, thank you, janine. The idea of course was to create dialogue and it certainly got people talking on social media. April wrote not sure what starbucks is thinking. I dont have time to explain 400 years of oppression to you and till still make my train. Another one, nothing says race together by only hiring three people of color out of 19 executives. And vice news wrote, race together, critics say if starbucks cares about racial justice, it should biff it give baristas a raise. Share your comments on our ktvu Facebook Page. A tragedy in tomales bay. A kayaker dies out there after being swept away. Coming up in 20 minutes, new information about this victim and how he is connected to a north bay college.

Happening today a hearing this afternoon at San Francisco city hall about the recent fires in the mission district. There have been several recent fires, including this big Apartment Building fire in january. One person died. 20 othersleft homeless. At todays hearing San Francisco supervisor david compose will question the Fire Department and building inspectors about the causes and frequencies of fires in the mission and whether its happening more there than in other neighborhoods. An apology from San Franciscos catholic archdiocese for using sprinklers to spray waterren the homeless sleeping in the doorways of st. Marys cathedral. A Church Official says they started using the sprinklers because the homeless were using the doorways as bathrooms and leaving behind used needles. But when the news first came out about in the reaction was outrage. I wonder what pope francis would say if he heard what this bishop is saying and what this church is doing. I mean, its outrageous. Well, the archdiocese now says its already started removing the Sprinkler System which was installed two years ago. The Berkeley City Council approved a plan for street behavior. That includes bans on panhandling, public urination and sleeping up against trees or planters. At last nights Council Meeting some members said these regulations are needed to keep the public safe. But critics say its a way to criminalize the homeless. They say instead there should be more city programs to help get the homeless off the streets. Meantime, two advertisers in new york city, they are using air bnb to raise awareness about homeless. They started up putting postings like this advertising Homeless People sleeping spaces for rent. The asking price about 10 a night, all of which will be donated to organizations that help the homeless. Now, in addition to helping, the men say they also want to highlight the economic disparities in some of the most sought after neighborhoods of the city. It is 7 15. Apple stock getting a little extra attention on wall street today. Thats because this morning the cupertino tech giant made its debut among the dow 30 industrials. It replaced at t. Apple is the Biggest Company in the u. S. But because of a recent stock split, its shares sell for 128 making it affordable enough to be on the dow and that makes apple only the sixth most expensive stock in the dow industrial. Taking a look right now, the apple stock is up just slightly at 128. 57. We are expecting to hear from the ceo of tesla today about a Software Update he says will boost the range of the companys cars. Elon musk said its supposed to increase battery life. The companys stock rose 3 yesterday on the news and its up another 1. 6 this morning. Meanwhile, in the works for electric car buyers. Pg e proposed a one time rebate that could kick in as soon as next year. The amount is expected to be announced in november. There is a federal tax credit of 7,500. Some pretty brave people will repell 23 stories down a San Francisco hotel today all to give some deserving students some summertime fun. Its a good cause. Its the Second Annual skyline challenge. I wish i was brave enough to do it. But San Francisco elected officials and local celebrities will make this 230foot journey down the side of the hyatt regency. Guy mcintyre made it look easy. He did it last year. It was a fundraiser for out ward bound. A wonderful organization that provides summer adventure for lowincome students. I have done some indoor rock climbing going down about two stories. How was that . It was fine. All right. Lets check in with sal. Coming up on 7 18. We are getting into the heart of the morning commute, sal. We are, tori, dave. We are getting very crowded in some areas. Lets begin right now and take a look at some of those south bay commutes and the east bay commutes, which are the worst. North bay is doing a little bit better. But this is the east bay westbound 24, and you can see traffic is a is a little bit busy in lafayette. The tunnel there is a slow down and slows in oakland if you are trying to get on westbound 580 at the bay bridge. The bay bridge is backed up for a 20minute delay. No problems on the bridge itself. You can see how slow it is at the toll plaza. When it slows down i look for things on the bridge. Start looking, after doing this for years,ky tell its a little too slow at the toll plaza. Lets go to the south bay now. Our camera i am sorry, our map system is catching some slow traffic on 101, 85, 280. I think 280 is slightly better than the other two. For the most part, you dont have any major problems in the Santa Clara Valley commute. 7 18. Lets go to steve in the Weather Center. Thank you, sir. A very good morning. Under mostly clear skies. A little bit of fog on the san mateo, santa cruz coast. That system will usher in a westerly breeze. It doesnt look like much, and it isnt. For inland temps San Francisco 52. We will go 68 for a high. All of these are above average, as you might expect, on the last full day of winter. 73 downtown oakland. San jose starting off in the 40s, which is close to average. Average is 67, 47. High side today 75 degrees. 82, 1988. 28 19le 4 the record low. Low 40s. Santa rosa is in there. Half moon bay, livermore 44 degrees. Water temps have cooled off slightly. They are getting closer to where they should be instead of the upper 50s or low 60s. They are a little bit above average. Clouds in the for the. Not much. A lot of cloud cover in Southern California. This system will weaken and give us a little cooldown on friday. Today upper 70s and 80s. Spring training, my goodness, arizona just lots going on here around phoenix. Another low, they get more weather than we have had this winter. Same for Southern California. Some of that backtracking all the way to palm springs. Travel plans down there, they are dealing with cloud cover. We have a lot of sunshine. Mild to warm. Upper 70s to low 80s inland. Patchy fog on the coast. I dont think its going to amount to too much. Upper 70s, low 80s clear lake, vacaville mid 70s, sonoma, san rafael, santa rosa at 76 degrees. Low 70s around berkeley, upper 60s around alameda, and mid 70s, low 80s brentwood, oakley, anitoch out to discover i have bay. 75 san jose to 79 gilroy and 76 saratoga. Thats the spirt. Mid 70s, low 70s from the peninsula. Lowtomid 60s on the coast. That west wind will keep temperatures in check. Spring begins tomorrow and that will cool it down with clouds as we go into the weekend. Any chance of clouds on monday . I am kind of giving up the ghost, as they say. Support from leaders yeah. I mean, we are kind of running out of time, right . All right. Thank you, steve. 7 21. In what was billed as a possible nba finals preview, west prevailed over east. The warriors beat the Atlanta Hawks 11495. Harrison barnes and Andre Igodala season highs with 25 and 21 points respectively. Seth curry with a doubledouble with 16 points and 12 assists. The warriors were without klay thompson. He will be reevaluated in a week. The warriors host the new Orleans Pelicans tomorrow night and then host the jazz on saturday night. They got a busy schedule. Yeah, they do. But they are keeping up. You said the game last night, i didnt see it, but they just looked great. The hawks are a really good team. Didnt play that well. They put in igodalas cheerios. He was on. Time is 7 22. Every parents nightmare. A school bus with six kids crashes in placer county. In 20 minutes, why pge had to get involved before the kids could be rescued. We could have the whole ceiling come down on you. Its dangerous. Letting a building fall apart would normally get a Property Owner in trouble with the city. What if the Property Owner is the city . What happened after 2 investigates got involved. No welcome back. 2 investigates looked into the concerns of some east bay neighborhoods, neighborhoods about dilapidated buildings becoming magnets for drug and crime. Residents of Alameda Point say there are 17 former townhomes that have been empty for years at the site of the old Alameda Naval air station. They are falling apart. They are filled with graffiti and debris. Two weeks after 2 investigates contacted the city of alameda to get some answers, workers put up a chainlink fence all around those abandoned buildings. This is a private Property Owner. The city would come in, red tag the building, declare them a public nuisance. And i think within a week or two they would have the bulldozers out here. Now, the city of alameda says it just doesnt have the money to tear down those buildings and says its looking for a private developer to get involved. 7 26. President obama is floating an idea to get more americans to vote by making it mandatory. Australia and some other countries its mandatory. It would be transformative if everybody voted. The president spoke yesterday in cleveland while addressing a civic group about Campaign Finance reform. In australia and a few of the countries it is mandatory for people to vote just like jury duty is required here in the u. S. But Many Americans feel nonvoting is also a political statement. Nonvoting is last legitimate choice that some people make. I wish more people would participate in politics, too. But that is the choice of living in a free society. It would ache a constitutional amendment to make voting mandatory in the u. S. , but that does not appear to be at the top of anyones agenda right now. 7 27. What you see Janet Napolitano said privately. We are live in santa rosa where a beloved professor at a Junior College dies after a kayaking accident. We will let you know what his students are saying about him. Good morning. We are still looking at a commute where traffic is getting busier by the moment. This is a look at the Richmond Bridge approach. You see its busier than what we saw just a few moments ago. Looking good for sunshine and watch temps. A little bit of patchy fog. It wont amount to anything. Temperatures on this last full day of winter will be well above normal. 7 30. A desperate attempt to rescue a kayaker in trouble near tomales bay yesterday. He did not survive. We learned he was a popular professor. That college is on spring break right now. Ktvu fox 2s Tara Moriarty is there. She will tell us what happened. Good morning. Welcome back to mornings on 2. I am tori campbell. I am dave clark. We talking about weather and traffic. It is a little cool outside. I like how the day is beginning. The sky looks nice. Well, there is not a cloud in the sky, is there . No, steve, not one. A little chill. Napa airport still 39. Some fog. Not a lot. A little bit on that san mateo h santa cruz coast. That rope of a system, and thats about all it is, will increase a little westerly breeze. Put some clouds maybe up on the northwest coast. Inland its going to be mild to warm. A cold morning in napa. 39 it cold. 64. 77 though later today. A chilly morning for samsung. I do believe made to to made it to 70. A few 40s and 50s on the temps. We will have 60s, 70s, and 80s. Southern california dealing with cloud cover. This system will cool us tomorrow. Look at arizona. My goodness. Phoenix just everything is already developing rapidly. Its going to be an active day there. Some that have is retro grade in the desert. Probably not l. A. Or san diego, but they have some partly cloudy skies. We have sunshine and mild to warm temps. 60s on the coast. A little westerly breeze, a little patchy fog inland. Lots of sunshine. 70s to a few low, low 80s. All right. Sal, i was just out there chatting with you five minutes ago. The magic of television. I mean, yes, i am in the newsroom and here to give you some traffic, steve, and everyone else. Lets see what we have with the morning commute. You will see some slow traffic, of course, trying to get into San Francisco. Its pretty much the same. We didnt find anything on the bridge to worry about. But it is slow approaching for about a 20minute delay at the toll plaza. I want to mention the traffic is going to be a little bit slow in San Francisco, but its not stop and go. It certainly is slow from 280 up to Caesar Chavez and slowing on the central freeway. Looking at the east bay southbound 880 slows from 238 all the way down to stevenson and fremont. On the peninsula 101 at 92 is slow both directions. Highway 4 and 680 we have slow traffic. Southbound 680 at highway 4, if you are driving from the bridge south, there was an earlier crash that messed things up. I wanted to mention in anitoch near the intersection of burr wood and davidson there is a bus crash. Please avoid that intersection. 7 33. Back to the desk. We know the name of a kayaker who died near tomales bay despite desperate efforts to rescue him. He was a professor at santa rosa Junior College. Tara moriarty joining us live now. You are out at the campus and you hear that everybody liked him . Reporter yeah, thats according to rate my professor. Com. We looked up some of the blog entries. Some of them said his teaching was interesting and never gets boring. He makes you look at things in an entirely new way. We are at the Life Sciences department here at santa rosa Junior College where 55 year old Nicholas Ennis taught. He and his friend ran into a bit of trouble with their kayaks north of dillon beach. He suffered some sort of distress and fell out of his kayak. His friend tried to help him back in but he ended up falling in, too. The survivor was able to swim into shore, but ennis disappeared. Surf and rocks made it impossible to launch a boat rescue. A helicopter crew rescued his friend from the shore and ennis body was found in the bay. It is spring break, so students are not expected to come to campus today. Tara, thank you. Time is 7 34. Happening today Governor Brown and state lawmakers will introduce a package of laws to help california cope with the ongoing drought. The legislation is said to include money for safe drinking water, Water Conservation projects, and also emergency food for farm workers hurt because of the droughts impact on the overall economy. The legislation would pinned spend is 1 billion. There is no statewide mandatory water rationing so far. In just a few minutes president obama is expected to sign an executive order to force the government to cut its Greenhouse Gas emissions. The move is the latest step to counteract republican led opposition to Climate Change legislation in congress. The white house says its also the president s attempt to lead by example and push the private sector to cut Greenhouse Gas emissions. The order calls for reducing the governments emissions by 40 over the next decade from 2008 levels. Also new this morning some alameda residents are running are without running water. Its because of a broken water main. Crews from east bay mud have been out for hours trying to fix it. They say the water had to be shut off because of the way the pipe broke. Its affecting 54 homes along high street near liberty avenue. The water is not expected to be back on until at least noontime. Time is now 7 36. The head of the university of california is getting heavy criticism this morning for something she said at yesterdays regions meeting. Angry students at the time were trying to protest tuition hike. Ktvu fox 2 brian flores is joining us in San Francisco. You say president Janet Napolitano said something she wish had not been heard . Reporter it may have been meant as a private comment, but it was caught. It is streamed live on the website. Yesterday the meeting filled with high tension. We are taking a live look outside the meeting hall where police are set up just in case protesters do show up this morning. Pretty quiet. Student interrupted the meeting in hopes of getting the tuition issue heard. Apparently, it was enough to get president Janet Napolitano to listen. You hear the students chanting. Janet napolitano said lets go, lets go, we dont have to listen to this. Now, some think her comments were disheartening and shows that the regents dont listen to students. Some say there was nothing wrong with what she said. She was exercising her free speech, just like the protesters. Student concerns over proposed tuition hike with roughly 5 increase every year for the next five years certainly hit a boiling point. Yesterday some of the student protesters stripped down to undergarments, even threw fake money at the regents. They formed a committee of two to discuss ways of fund uc moving forward with the hopes of not increasing tuition and a Progress Report was expected yesterday. Instead, it was very Little Details on that progress. I do think there is some implications for access, for getting more people through uc by making it more accessible, and by lowering the overall cost structure. Thats the goal that i would have. And the particulars of it were working through that. Reporter Governor Brown said he would oppose giving additional state funds to the uc system. The tuition increase continues. Nap al tano says the quality of the education will be diminished. So far they have met twice since the committee was made in january. They are scheduled to meet again next month. Back to you. Brian flores in San Francisco. Thank you. Meantime, this story making National News today at the university of virginia. Claims of Police Brutality after an africanamerican was wrestled to the ground. He needed ten stitches for a head injury suffered while being arrested early yesterday morning. Agents with virginias alcoholic and Beverage Department say they approached johnson after he was blocked from going into a bar in charlottesville. Now, cell phone video and photos showed johnson on the ground with blood all over his face. You know, whether it happens on the football field or whether it happens in a case like this, my heart went out to him. Hi thought how i would feel if i were his mother. Last night students at the university of virginia gathered. They called the arrest of johnson another case of Excessive Police force against an africanamerican man. The governor of virginia is calling for an independent investigation of that incident. A woman in richmond is going public about fearing out of control violence in her neighborhood in the bay area and says she is moving out. At least for now. It hurts to see the children of this Community Feed on each other like piranhas. Ann cyrus says she was home tuesday night when someone started firing shots just outside of her door at her 18yearold son and she thinks he was targeted only because he knows a man suspected of shooting someone else earlier this month. She says she is tired of people looking for revenge. I dont know if they think killing one of us is going to bring their loved one back or give them some sort of satisfaction, but its not. She has lived in that neighborhood for years. She says she has never backed counsel from a fight but no longer feels safe and has now moved into a motel and says she is going to stay there until police catch the gunman who fired shots at her son. 7 40. New this morning nine people have been taken into custody in connection to the terrorist attack on a museum in the african nation of tunisia. Officials say they are part of a terror cell that helped the two gunmen pull off the attack yesterday. The death toll rose to 23 overnight after two more people died from their injuries. Many of the victims were tourists from europe and japan. Tunisias Prime Minister says the two gunmen were islamists and one of them was known to law enforcement. The museum will reopen by tuesday with tighter security. In sweden last night gunmen armed with automatic weapons stormed a restaurant in the city of goodegorg. Police say the shooting appeared to be gang related and that there were known danger members inside the restaurant at the time of the shooting. 7 41.

Six children and a bus driver were trapped on a school bus for more than an hour after the bus crashed into a power pole. This happened around 4 00 yesterday afternoon on a rural road into lincoln in placer county. Pg e cut power but crews were kept on the bus until they could verify the lines were dead. California cab drivers are suing uber accusing the Ridesharing Company of false advertising. The lawyers for a group of 19th Taxi Companies filed the claim yesterday in San Francisco. The issue are ads where uber claims it is the safest ride on road and has the strictest Safety Standards possible. Now, San Franciscobased uber calls the lawsuit frivolous. Uber operates in more than 290 cities all over the world. New york city storied yellow cabs are now outnumbered by uber cars. According to new figures released by the citys taxi and Limousine Commission there are more than 14,000 registered uber cars in new york compared with 13500 yellow cabs. However, taxis, they are still the ride of choice. They pick up more than 400,000 more fares than uber. Well, in new york getting an uber ride is getting faster than getting an ambulance. Thats according to a blogger who, by the way, posted findings on the website medium of the blogger is claiming the average time to get an ambulance is six minutes. That compares to a little less than three minutes for a ride with uber. The blogger says the time differences may be due to the complex system for dispatching an ambulance. Uber, on the other hand, uses an algorithm to find its cars. Based on the bloggers finding, he suggests uber drivers should carry basic medical kids like pens and defibrillators that could possibly save lives. 7 46. Cars you would expect to see on the streets are the stars at sonoma raceway on wednesday nights. Its the start of race season and its hoped amateurs racing on a famous track will keep the streets safer. There is traditional drag racing where everything from classic muscle cars and motor homes and the occasional prius race each other. On the other side are the drifters where you can see from this camera mounted on the side of the car drivers try to stay as close as they can to the lead car. You hear people say, yeah, i want to do everything i can. I dont want to hit anybody. I dont want to be responsible for that. There is also the chance to race a cop and a patrol car. Its meant to be a bonding experience for teenagers and police. The events continue through november. I wonder what kind of wear and tear that does on your tires. I know it does. I would probably maybe try it once. I mean, its a thrill. Yeah. Get it out of your system and stuff. Its true. Its better to do this there than on the streets. Lets check in with sal and see whats happening in the real world out on the roads. I dont think there is any racing going on, if thats what you mean . Very slow, tori and dave, in many areas. No one is racing a prius anywhere. All right. Lets go out and take a look at the commute now. The traffic is moving along relatively slowly in some areas. We are starting off with highway 4. Now, highway 4 has been slow out of pittsburg. Its better in anitoch. As you know, if you drive this every day, most of the slow traffic now is on highway 4 and 680 is backed up from the benicia bridge to walnut creek in pockets of heavy traffic. Partially to blame, some earlier crashes. The bay bridge toll plaza, that is also very slow on this thursday getting across the bay. Taking about almost an hour to do the whole thing if you count the time waiting at the toll plaza and the slow traffic on the bridge. San mateo bridge and dumbarton bridge commutes are slow. The road sensors showing red on the san mateo bridge and red on the dumbarton bridge heading over to the peninsula. 7 49. Lets go to steve in the Weather Center. Clear skies except for a little fog on the san mateo coast and santa cruz coast. Very shallow. It is there. But otherwise its going to be sunny and warm and its a warm march and its the last full day of winter and temperatures across the board will be above average. Santa rosa should be 64 this time of year. 77. San francisco should be 67. We will go 68. Mountain view at 65 is normal. 74 today. And san jose 67. 75 today. Weak little system.

If you know you drink wine and not have a hangover, would you have a little more . Usually, very, very good wine does not do that. Its the cheaper stuff. Yes. I would. I would embrace that. All right. Well, the reason i ask, steve, is your next happy hour could get happier. Scientists at the university of illinois have discovered a modified yeast that could make hangoverfree wine. It can reduce the elements in wine that leave you with a hangover. They also say they could increase some of the elements in wine that are beneficial to your health.

Well, she no longer plans to buy animals off of ebay and wants the Online Service to do a better job explaining and regulating what is legal and what is not. We got in contact with ebay. They told us they do provide information to all users about the various laws related to sales of animal and wildlife parts. 7 56. A man who San Francisco police call a serial tagger made his First Court Appearance yesterday afternoon. 18yearold Andrew Yarbrough appeared in court. He is charged with ten felony and 20 misdemeanor counts of vandalism and possession of graffiti tools. Yarbrough is accused of writing the words cryst and sheep on property. He caused more than 30,000 in damage. He pleaded not guilty. The District Attorney says vandalism cases are difficult to prosecute because judges often reduce felony charges to misdemeanors. You would have to be able to prove it in a court of law that someones graffiti is actually the same from this location as opposed to another location. Its really early on in the case. At this point, these are just allegations. So its really important we not jump to conclusions. The d. A. s office says convictiones in vandalism cases often result in a combination of jail time, restitution, and community service. Yarbrough is due back in court on april 1st. Your time is 7 58.

Yeah. And a couple of things going on, a couple incidents out there but we have slow traffic because of the morning commute. And lets take a look first of all at 280 and san jose. Northbound looks good. Timed perfectly with perfectly. The south bay commute seems relatively normal. And lets move along and take a look at the bay bridge toll plaza and that seems slower. Back up for a 25 minute delay unless youre in the car pool lane. And the corner of burwood at davidson, theres a serious bus crash there. Avoid the area. Theres an investigation going on as well.

Other areas here, southbound 680 as you drive past the bridge, we had some earlier problems. Westbound 24 at Pleasant Hill road, theres word of an injury accident reported there. And now back to the desk. Thank you. There are new developments from hayword about the horrific crash where a young mother pushing her child in a stroller was hit by an suv. And now a witness is talking to us about what he saw. We are live at the scene of the crash. Tell us what that person told you. Good morning. Reporter dave, good morning to you. The man i spoke with this morning told me what he saw was horrible. The mother in this case lying on the ground in this area. She was bleeding and not far away was a stroller with her baby son still strapped inside. The chp says both mother and the child, they were in this crosswalk when they were hit last night right at the entrance to northbound 880 off of tinison road. And cars tend to pick up speed because they are about to get on to the freeway. The crash happened about 7 00 last night. Still light out at the time. The white suv slammed into the 21yearold mother and her 1 yearold son leaving both of them with major injuries. And i just got off the phone with the chp officer and he tells me they are in critical both at the hospital. The driver who hit them is a 22 yearold woman from hayword. She did remain at the scene and has been cooperating with investigators. It does not appear she was under the influence. And we talked with a man who happened to be riding by on his bike. He speak only spanish and talked to us about the scene. I have never seen anything like this. I had trouble sleeping. Reporter that man says it can be dangerous to cross this particular freeway onramp. He does it quite a bit and he says cars tend to speed up and theres no light to stop the traffic and let pedestrians get across. Chp trying to figure out how fast the suv was going last night. And whether speed was in fact a factor in the crash. The chp says theyll be looking at when this crash happened as potentially a factor. Again, about 7 00 last night. And the sun was beginning to set at that time. Theyre looking to see if that may have contributed to the crash. It was traveling in the westbound direction. And the driver in this case has not been cited, she was allowed to go home last night after speaking with investigators. And the investigation goes on. Thank you. We will talk to you later. Meantime in San Francisco, a 5yearold girl still in the hospital this morning in Critical Condition after a similar pedestrian crash happened in San Francisco.

Your morning cup of coffee may be coming with a side of social commentary at starbucks. We are live now from san jose to explain what this is all about. And why some customers dont know how they feel about this. Good morning. Reporter good morning. This is the sticker that they are being asked to put on cups. It says race together. And now some in here feel uncomfortable writing the words on the coffee together because they say either they dont want to hold up the line and have to explain this and they also feel that its uncomfortable to strike up a conversation about Race Relations and. The ceo of starbucks is encouraging them to write those words race together on coffee cups. And he started the initiative because of the racially charged tragedies around the country and wanted to open dialogue about it. But online, theres backlash. And people have been sending angry tweets saying its not starbucks tweets to start a conversation. One executive deleted his twitter account because of all the mean comments he was receiving. Thats something that you talk about with friends, you talk with coworkers, possibly if you see something going on, but im not going to the strike up a conversation with a total stranger in starbucks because its written on my cup. It should not be an uncomfortable discussion. I think its important for people to talk about it honestly and forth rightly and with a little bit of passion. Reporter there are customers who are saying they dont want to be bothered about the topic when theyre trying to rush off to work. Its the basically voluntary. And i want to mention one of the last conversations i had with a customer, he happens to be an africanamerican gentleman and i asked his opinion on camera and he said, and with a smile, i think its a good idea, he says he department want to be the angry black man on camera but doesnt think starbucks is the right venue for it. And i tweeted asking people about what they thought about this. Some people thought it was a pr stunt that starbucks was doing. And another person said, why are people complaining . They said that is like complaining about having a peace sign on your coffee cup. A lot of different opinions here. Interesting. Thank you for the update on that. Thank you. Now the new campaign is heating up debate on social media. These are just a small handful of the tweets. This one says race together campaign is bad marketing but great branding. And another one, it says just because. There we go. Just because an idea is easy to mock doesnt make it wrong. The race together campaign, do buy. And this one says starbucks, i want to buy my drink and leave. As long as race together is on the cup, i wont be at your store, petescoffee. And another one here says, starbuck, the hardest things are the most important a pilaws for encouraging Difficult Conversations which is what we need. And another one here, the strong reactions show just how difficult this topic is. By the way, please dont hold the line by talking about it. Acetogether.

Going to the peninsula right now ask taking a look at the san mateo bridge. Its a little bit busy although no crashes along the way. Even though its the last full day of winter, you might want to run through the sprinklers today, some areas in the low 80s. Welcome back to mornings on 2. Theres an apology from San Franciscos Catholic Arch Diocese for using sprinklers to spray water on Homeless People sleeping in the doorways of st. Marys cathedral. Church officials said they used the sprinklers because people were using the doorways as bathrooms and leaving behind Dangerous Items like used needles but when people heard about this, a lot of them were outraged. I wonder what pope francis would say if he heard what this bishop is saying and what this church is doing. Its outrageous. They say they have started removing the sprinkle system. It was installed two years ago. Later today, a federal court will consider an agreement by target to pay a 10 million settlement for a lawsuit stemming from the massive data breach. target has said at least 40 million credit cards were compromised during the 2013 Holiday Shopping.

And right now theres an investigation for a fatal bus crash. Burwood way and davidson drive. The crash occurred earlier this morning about 5 45. The bus dispatcher told us that a private vehicle was also involved. And there were six people on the bus. No serious injuries for the bus. And we have a crew on the way but its a good area to avoid, burwood and davidson. And we will give you reroutes that they are doing because of this bus crash. And again, we do have a crew on the way to the scene. And i want to move the maps just a little bit over to show you that 680 is very crowded and so is highway 4 up from bay point to walnut creek. Westbound 24 is a report of a crash at Pleasant Hill road there. And watch for slowing in that area. And out to the bay bridge we go and traffic is backed up for a 25 minute delay. I think theres a spider, a spider on the screen there. No major problems by the way once you make it on to the bridge. There it is, our spider. And moving along no, almost forgot, 680 southbound traffic backed up. That it that spider. It wants air time. Clear skies except for some fog. And a little bit on the coast. I dont think its made it but if thats not the case, you can let me know. But just along the headlands. Very shallow. Pollen level, people suffering for months and no exception today. Trees really up there. Grass, weeds, theyre raring to go. All we talked about are above normal temperatures. Some locations, a couple observers, they did not have a freezing temperature. One gentleman did not have a freezing temperature all winter long. Incredible. And on the high tide have been way above and today no exception. These are the temperatures. Almost everybody is a good six to 10 degrees above where they should be. And a little bit of fog help add long by the system. This time of year, thats all it takes to get a breeze and some of the fog on the coast. But its not going to make any impact inland. And napa airport at 39. Twice touched that now. And santa rosa at 41. The bay at 52. Thats the coldest since june. That helps a little northwest breeze and we need that to get the water up here. On the weekend, they were 61. So they have come down. Thats good. We need that. Thats helping the fog as well. 20s up in the mountains. 60s Southern California. 27 in tahoe. And almost 50 degrees in blue canyon. A sign of warm air aloft. And today looks good. And talking about rainout in spring training in phoenix. You can see why. Thats a good system there generating some good cells. Looks like they collapsed and now just general rain but some headed back into Southern California. And could be on the western edge but close. And what do we have . Sunshine, little bit of fog. 60s to 80s again. A little mini summer pattern and some location, wont have any problem pushing upper 70s to 80s. A lot of 70s. Fairfield, 78.

This other countries its mandatory. It would be transformative if everybody voted. Now the president said that yesterday, he was in cleveland addressing a civic group about Campaign Finance reform. Australia and other countries make it happened tour for people to vote like jury duty is required here in the u. S. And now it would take a constitutional amendment to make it happen in the u. S. But that doesnt appear to be at the top of anybodys agenda at the moment. High School Students in utah are baking up a way to raise awareness about the gender wage gap. Earlier this week, members of jordan high schools Young Democrats held a bake sale. The only catch was that male students had to pay more than girls if they wanted the treat. According to a 2010 census for every dollar men earned, women earned 77 cents. That information was reflected in the price of the baked goods. Its not fair that just because i was born a woman, i only get paid 77 cents. So this is an issue in my light and might as well raise awareness starting young. Dozens of students and teachers came out to show their support. And others visited to argue the facts behind the numbers. They have a good cause. And i like that theyre motivated but im not entirely sure that they totally understand the statistic going around. Members of the club say the point is to educate people they wanted to make fun of the situation and hopefully start a revolution. All right, the time is 8 26. We look into the concerns of about some neighbors looking into the concerns about buildings becoming magnets for drugs and crime. 17 former town homes have been empty for years. Theyre fall ago part, filled with graffiti and trash. Well two weeks after 2 investigates contacted the city to get answers, workers put up a chain link fence all around those abandoned buildings. This is a private Property Owner, the city would red tag the building, declare them a public nuisance and within a week or two, have the bulldozers out here. And the city says it didnt have the money to tear the buildings down and they are looking for a private developer to get involved. A woman in richmond says she is leaving her home because the violence out there is out of control. Up next, what she says has to happen before she will consider moving back.

Looks like near the headlands, san mateo coast, a little bit. And again, very shallow but i want to mention. That little system will probably keep some component of the breeze or some patchy fog going. Mainly 60s on the coast. A cold morning in napa though, 39 this morning. 64, going for a high of 77 degrees. And san mateo started off in the 40s. And we will end up with a high of 73 degrees today. And nice. Only by the coast, the 60s. Everywhere else, 40s. And so there was a chill in the morning. And i bring this to you, 52, the coalest in a longtime. And even 56 monteray.

Back over to palm springs, theyre getting rain but for us, sunshine. Sunshine, mild to i make myself laugh. Patchy fog on the coast. Upper 70s, low 80s inland. A few well above average. All right. Were following the developing story of a major bus crash. And were going to show it to you on the map. Actually these are photos from east county today. Were told that at least one person died in the crash between the bus and another vehicle. It was first reported around 5 45 this morning in the area of burwood and davidson drive. Its blocking traffic. And you can see how badly damaged the car was by the bus. People on the bus were told were not seriously injured and we have a crew on the way. And i want to mention and we can put up a map to show the area, i want to mention that 388 eastbound and westbound buses are on detour in the area. Theyre not going through. And theyre still running but going detoured around this area. And now i do want to mention that we have a crew on the way and to avoid the area because theyre doing an investigation, this is is a look at westbound 24 at Pleasant Hill road and clearing a crash from one of the lanes. Traffic is slow on westbound 24 and also on 680 as you drive south out of concord. And at the bay bridge toll plaza, a backup of 15 to 20 minutes before the span. Back to the desk.

The comments made. She said lets go, lets go, we dont want to listen to this. Just reaction from ucs standpoint. What does chef to say . Well, its important to put nit context. Public comment was over. There was somewhat demonstration that included shouting and so forth. So Public Comment was done. The meeting was about to be closed down. And im not going to comment on the substance of what the president said but will say that shes listened to students from the getgo, from when she came out as president , met with students a couple dozen times this year, she takes Public Comments seriously, the regents listen. Theres often theater as many of us know who have been at the meetings, thats what happened yesterday. She was anxious to move on to the agenda of the day. There were a lot of important issues on the agenda. And Public Comment had been extended to make sure that everyone who wanted to Say Something had a chance. Reporter some would say that what she said was not sensitive to listening to what students have to say. Youre saying she does but at the same time, does she know that the mics were on and what she was saying was going to be Public Comment . Again, Public Comment was over. She does listen to students and met with students a couple dozen times this year. She has met many times with students and listens, the regents listen. Theres a difference between words and noise. And what was happening at that point of the meeting was noise that was delaying discussions about serious issues that were on the agenda for the day. Reporter and today not talking about cost structure or tuitions, pretty slow day. Thats right. All of the really big issues were on the agenda yesterday. Thats why we were eager to get the meeting going. Reporter thank you for joining us. A lot of tension remains especially from the students.

She thinks he was targeted because he knows a man suspected of shooting someone else this month and she says shes tired of people looking for revenge. I dont know if they think killing one of us is going to bring their loved one back or give them some sort of satisfaction but its not. She says shes lived in the neighborhood for years. Shes never backed down from a fight. But no longer feels safe. And shes moved into a motel. And she says she will stay there until the police catch the gunman who fired shots at her son. Students 9 a north bay college are reacting to sad and shocking news that a popular professor died in a kayaking accident. We are live from santa rosa Junior College where the professor worked. What are you hearing . Reporter well, they say theyll miss one of the most beloved professors that the campus has ever seen. After taking one of his science classes, students wrote in a online blog that he challenged them and made them look at things in a different way. The 55yearold and his friend ran into trouble yesterday afternoon around 4 30 just north of the beach. And he suffered some sort of disstress and fell out of the kayak. His friend survived but his body was found about an hour after rescue crews arrived. And we got reaction from staff here. This is is what they had to say. This is what they had to say.
