Reporter well, first of all, the traffic situation all lanes of interstate 80 just re opened within the last hour. So that is the good news for commuters out here in this area. Now, what we had this morning was a Chain Reaction situation. An Early Morning crash involving an ambulance shut down several lanes of traffic here in the eastbound lanes of interstate 80 at the cummings skyway. Then two other crashes happened as the traffic was slowing in this area because of the lane closures. The most serious of those crashes involved this big rig, which slammed into the back of a mazda sedan and the driver that have mazda was left dead at the scene. We understand he was a man. There is no other information on the victim in that case. Its unclear exactly why the driver of that big rig was unable to stop. But at the time the chp says that traffic was slowing in this area because there were still lanes closed from that earlier accident up ahead on the freeway. And the chp says when lanes are closed, drivers need to pay close attention. In a situation like this, we ask all drivers just to Pay Attention to the road. Slow down. Make sure you are focused on whats in front of you compared to whats on the side of you. Once you are distracted, Something Like this can happen. Reporter and a series of accidents started with that serious crash around 1 30 this morning when an ambulance slammed into the back of a cement truck that was stopped on the freeway where roadwork was going on. The chp says the two emts in the front of that ambulance were rushed to the hospital. Both with serious injuries. And according to the chp those emts injured had come from ucf Childrens Hospital in San Francisco. They were the only ones inside the ambulance. They were not transporting a patient at the time. Then there was a third accident in this area as well. That involved three cars, but everyone involved in that crash had only minor injuries. But again the most serious crash involved a big rig that slammed into the back of a mazda sedan leaving the driver of that car dead at the scene. It happened here in this area you are looking at in the eastbound lanes of the freeway. You can see a couple patrol cars at the scene. But all lanes of traffic are now back open following three separate crashes in this area early this morning. All right. Alex, thank you very much for that information. We have slow traffic in other parts of that commute now. It seems like all the slow traffic that was there has just moved down the road after being delayed somewhat. Lets take a look at 80 down the road at the toll plaza. You will see the traffic is backed up for a 25 to 30minute delay. It seems as if it has filled in the last half hour or so. Even a little bit more than 25, maybe almost 30minute delay before you make it onto the bridge. We are lack looking at 880 northbound. This is good. When you get to hayward you will see slow traffic to the union city and fremont area. And in the Santa Clara Valley traffic is slow on 101 and 85. Filling in there as well. 280 near 17.

Sal, 7 31. You are busy with what . We do have very heavy traffic along that stretch. I think some of those problems ended up translating into longer delays on eastshore freeway. People were delayed out of vallejo. I want to show you the drive time between the carquinez bridge and the macarthur maze is 49 minutes. Almost an hour really driving between those two points. And when you get to the bay bridge toll plaza you add another 25 minutes to that. If you are driving from vallejo to San Francisco and then you drive to San Francisco in your car, unless you are in the carpool lane, about an hour and a half. Thats a long time. Lets move along and take a look at some of these commutes. We do have a look at marin county on southbound 101. Stopandgo traffic. 37 down to the central part of san rafael.

Also there this morning is the ep general manager of San Franciscos rec and park. We spoke with him a few minutes ago. A lot of people come to hippie hill on 4 20. This year there were a couple of incidents to tell you about. As we go to video, six last night during the gathering some people say they heard what they thought were gunshots. It was nerve wronging enough to send some revelers running from one end of hippie hill to the other. Police investigated. No evidence of gunshots. 10,000 people were here lighting one up. People from all over the country come to San Francisco to this spot. Many we spoke with have been coming here since the 1960s saying its all about having a good time. Its awesome. I mean, people my age and older and even the younger ones are just all good. Its a good thing. This isnt a drug to me. This is not a drug. This is a medication. This is something that should be allowed just like alcohol. Reporter but as we mentioned, we also spoke about the rec and Park Department who says this morning is a different mood for them. Rec and park estimates they will be picking up 17,000 pounds of trash today just from this event. Depressing. You know, its earth day. This is not exactly a leave no trace moment yesterday. I am very proud of the men and women out here working. They were here until 10 00 last night. We had about 30 Park Maintenance workers. We have about 40 here today. We had 18 park rangers.

When we were driving through there was a lot of trash through Golden Gate Park. This is an unsanctioned event. Police were here to keep the peace. Six arrests were made. One for suspected robbery of two people leaving the event. We spoke with people in the park this morning and they cant believe how much trash is out here every year during this event. Back to you. Brian flores in San Francisco. Thank you, brian. Time is 7 35. The celebration took on added meaning this year because of the push to make marijuana legal in california. Supporters are well on their way to put on initiative on the legal ballot that would legalize pot use for adults 21 and over. Marijuana supporters say legalizing it could create up to a million jobs and generate as much as a billion dollars for californias economy. The current market fuels an underground world. They dont pay taxes. They dont check i. D. S. Recent polls indicate most californians favor legalizing Recreational Marijuana, but voters rejected a similar measure back in 2010. A sacramento sheriffs deputy license plate reader led to the arrest of a berkeley shooting suspect. The shooting happened in mid march. A woman was also shot in the head and dropped off at the hospital. On tuesday a sacramento sheriffs deputys patrol car license plate reader spotted a car connected to that shooting. They found the man asleep in the drivers seat and took him in custody. Some drivers are asking for more Police Patrols following the latest highway shooting. A man was driving on highway 4 when someone possibly in another car opened fire. He was shot a number of times. This is the 18th freeway shooting in the east bay in the past six months. As a commuter in this area, i would like to see it beefed up, Police Security, knowing we have this issue. Its been brought to our town. A little bit more often than it has before. The chp says investigators believe the victim was specifically targeted by the shooter. Authorities have not released a description of the shooter or car involved. They have not said whether this incident is related to the previous shootings we have seen on interstate 80 and highway 4. 7 37. A man who San Francisco police say led officers on a rooftop chase through knob hill before jumping and landing on a parked car is out of the hospital and in jail. He is identified as 34yearold alexander kalef newby island kov. Police were told of another burglary in progress nearby. Place say he pointed a gun at officers before running to another building then jumping from rooftop rooftop. He then jumped off one building, landed on a parked car. He has been charged with burglary, assault with a Deadly Weapon on a Police Officer, and other charges. A bay area tech mogul who took a plea deal in a high profile Domestic Violence case three years ago, he is due in court tomorrow. He violated his probation, according to prosecutors. He was arrested in 2013. Prosecutors say he punched and kicked his then girlfriend more than 100 times. Prosecutors say it was recorded on Home Security video. But a judge ruled it was seized illegally and that it is inadmissible in court. He pled guilty to two misdemeanors. He was put on probation for three years. In 2014, he was arrested again. Police say he attacked another woman he was dating. Tomorrow prosecutors will ask a judge to revoke his probation. That means he could be sent to jail for a year. It may be the most talked about ankle in pro sports this morning. A lot of warriors fans want to know will steph currys ankle injury keep him off the court for game three tonight against houston. Allie rasmus live in the newsroom with what curry had to say about it. Reporter its going to be a game time decision. Whether orpe did practice yesterday. He did the drills and went through his postpractice shooting routine. Afterwards he told reportsers his heart is geared towards playing tonight, but its a matter of whether his body cooperates. He says hitting the game will depend on how he feels and what his doctors and athletic trainers recommend. I dont want to put myself in danger of having this linger, having problems down the stretch. You want to keep the rhythm and momentum that we have built and not get rusty. Look, we dont want to make him worse. You can do damage if you do that. I probably made a very extreme example of that with grant. But thats always on my mind. Players health. Now, warriors fans are optimistic the team can beat houston without their mvp because they have won their last two games against the rockets. One of them also without curry.

Summers around the corner, which means your kids may be gearing up for a big sports season. All sports come with a risk of injury. Back in the studio with important things parents know to keep their children healthy and safe. Very important. We know about the risks in contact sports. We have talked about concussions. But pediatricians say most injuries in Young Athletes are caused by overuse. Now, doctors say most common sports injuries are sprains, which are injuries to ligaments. Strains, which are injuries to muscles. Stress fractures, which are injuries to the bones. They are caused when an abnormal stress is placed on tendons, joints, and muscle. In a growing child even minor swelling should be looked and evaluated further by a medical professional. They also say many injuries happen because kids race from school to practice or games without warmup or the right gear. A lot of them are really, really common sense things about strengthening muscles, about stretching before and after practices, about wearing the appropriate types of gear. A lot of times your kids, if you ever had a child play, they buck you on this, but thats something that has to be done. Some things you can do as a parent, make sure your child has gear that fits properly. Hand me downs arent always the best decision. Check to see they drink plenty of liquids before, during, after play and insist on conditioning and stretching exercises and at least one day off per week from their sport to allow the body to rest. The American Academy of pediatrics also reminds parents dont forget about the emotional stress. Young athletes feel judged often about winning or losing rather than the effort, sportsmanship and hard work. We know those coaches and parents who are all about winning and not necessarily about the hard work and sportsmanship and all that. When you talk about injuries, we think of the contact sports, football, soccer, et cetera, et cetera. But any sort of an theater can suffer a devastate athlete can suffer an injury. I talk about my daughter as a high school cheerleader. They are lifting and throwing and catching. You know, fellow cheerleaders. They spend a significant amount of time before and after practice stretching and conditioning and running before they do cheerleading. Things that people dont think about. And that racing from school on to the Playing Field is not always the best decision. Good to know. Pam, thank you. Time is 7 50.

Organs. Time is 7 57. Violence in the south bay. Janine de la vega has that. Reporter we are live in san jose where a son is under arrest for allegedly killing his own father. What neighbors are saying about the relationship. This is ktvu mornings on 2. 8 00 this thursday morning, april 21. Thanks for joining us on mornings on 2. A quick look at weather and traffic. Weather has this a big change through the week. Thank you, gasia. [ inaudible ]. You know what we could do. Lets check in on the morning commute because it has also been a bear. Yesterday 880 was a mess. Today 80 had the problems. Sal castaneda, help us out. It is pretty slow out there, gasia. Yeah, we have had a couple of bad days. Yesterday on 880. Today on 80. Fortunately, things have settled down a little bit out there. Lets see what we have. The traffic is still going to be slow actually, its recovered here in this area. But we had an earlier crash on eastbound interstate 80 right near the cummings skyway. A deadly crash where a big rig rearended a car. That person in the car was killed. There were also a couple of other crashes that were a little bit more minor, but all seemed to be related to some roadwork that was going on here eastbound 80 in the cummings skyway. This is a picture of the very first crash that happened when a medical an ambulance rear ended a cement truck. Those people were injured. In total, there were three accidents at this scene beginning at about 1 30. They finally cleared at about 7 00 this morning. And the traffic is finally rolling well. Again, unfortunately, one person as a result of these crashes, one person was killed. Chp continues its investigation, even though all the lanes are clear. This is 80 westbound as you head out to the macarthur maze. There are no major problems, but it is going to be slow. Its backed up. This is a locations highway 4 westbound as you come up over the willow pass bridge. Still a little bit of late commute coming up and over the hill. I told you about it, but i wanted to put ap arrow to drive it home. 80 is slow through richmond and hercules. If thats your commute, you have a lot of waiting do before you make it to the berkeley area. Lets get todays weather with steve. There time. Good morning, everybody. The drizzle picking up a little bit from marin county over to daly city and plenty of reports up in the north bay. I know novato, rohnert party, petaluma, cotati, and glen ellen reporting drizzle. Larkspur reporting in with drizzle. A. 01 since 6 30 this morning. Slick roads here. I believe we have had a lot of reports of that around the cotati grade. Clouds, cool, drizzle. Tomorrow rain though for everybody. Looks okay. 25 to 1 inch farther up you go. Breezy, cool on the weekend. Cloudy day for the diamondbacks and giants. Wife take a jacket. I wouldnt be surprised if there is mist or drizzle in there as well. A lot of cloud cover. In that mix you can get some drizzle. Just radar is not picking it up right now. Cloud cover on the move. Our systems on the way as well. 50s and 60s hayward 62. Oakland 62. Sfo 61. Santa fe and Mountain View 60. A southsoutheast breeze coming in. This system will slide in and give us rain. Breezy, cooler for some on the highs. Lows are up. 60s and 70s. Rain will make it tonight into tomorrow. Back to dave and gasia now. New this morning out of oakland one person was killed in a warehouse fire. Oakland firefighters posted this picture to twitter. The fire started 3 15 this morning at 66th avenue and coliseum way near the coliseum. Firefighters say they saw heavy flames when any got there. At this point they havent released of information about the person who died. A tragic situation in san jose. Police there investigating a deadly stabbing in which they say a son killed his father. Ktvus janine de la vega live in san jose after talking to people who live nearby. Reporter gasia, they tell me that the victim was very ill and the son was his caretaker. They say that the son was a very good man, that this completely came out of the blue. So they are very shocked. This all happened last night at around nine at the mill pond Mobile Home Park off of kirtner. Officers arrived and found a 68 yearold man with stab wounds in a back bedroom. He died at the scene. According to police the son told the mother what he had done and went outside to smoke. Some of his neighbors heard that commotion. I heard my neighbors sort of yelling at each other. She was what have you done to your father . And then shortly thereafter she went out in the street and she was crying. Reporter police say the son surrendered peacefully when they took him into custody. Investigators say he is 43 years old and may have been under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Mental illness may have been a factor. These are things detectives are looking into. Just a very sad situation thats really hitting this neighborhood hard. Its a Senior Community and a lot of people here know each other. Reporting live from san jose, janine de la vega, ktvu fox 2 news. Thank you. Time is 8 05. From the Civil Rights Movement to the 1960s to addressing Police Brutality today. Reverand Jesse Jackson continues to be a major voice in america for minorities in particular. That has brought him to the bay area today. He is continuing the push for diversity in Silicon Valley and more. Joining me now, he needs no introduction, the reverand Jesse Jackson. Working on it. I can do it if i have to. Thank you so much for being here this morning. Good to be here talking about the valley because were talking about hope and opportunity. The gifts of the children of oakland in the bay is unacceptable. There is no need to be trying to bring youth in from out of the country into here. These youth can be trained and taught. And trying to get them to put the churches to teach our children codes, stormtracker markets gains to give them that science and having to push tech conference here at the marriott tomorrow. At hp tonight. Whats exciting, the citys children begin to come alive and know that they have the possibility of becoming, you know, the next google, the next apple, as it were. Just to plant the seed. Youre talking about athletes. There is a hire and invest in oakland. Sports tech 20. Faith tech you talked about. They are coming to oakland. Half how plus jobs. And doing so they need to hire from here as priority. Need to invest here as a priority. Green line. The red line zones and make oakland continue to come alive. And of course the nation. I mean, these ghettos are facing a combination of guns and drugs and jobs out. Its not working well for us. Plan to lock up our youth rather than lift them up is not working for us. There is no brain shortage. There is no capacity shortage. We must overcome that gap. I want to talk about a lot of different things. Youre applying pressure to Silicon Valley, but also politics while i have you here. The president ial candidate. The fight to get the nominations in both parties, what are your thoughts on it right now . Its ugly this year. The idea of a mass deportation of americans to go back across the border to resettle again is the worse than the japanese internment damps of the 1940s. Its a bad idea. And the idea of not trueing mexico is our first line of defense. Suppose isis and mexico and canada, we could not survive it. We need mexico. They are the key to latin america. And so twothirds of our hemisphere speaks spanish. So to offend our neighbors, our necessary neighbors, is bad politics and bad judgment. I have to ask a followup question. We have seen in the primaries so far that africanamerican, latinos and other minorities have been a major force in the voting, in the primary so far. What does that tell you . It suggests that the 1965 was a game changer. Not only africanamericans who got the right to vote after 85 years, but white women couldnt serve on juries. Es is picturation 18year olds could not vote or serve in vietnam. You could not vote on college campuses. You could not vote proportionally. We made that happen. Its not so much that we are postracial. This new generation of opportunity is hanging the course of our country slowly but surely. Latinos can be, a woman can be, the possibilities have been removed. There should be no impossibilities. On the one hand, the president can be president and trump can be in the running. There is nothing we can do. I have to ask you something that happened this morning a little while ago, speaking of the president ial candidate. Donald trump was on television this morning talking about the government, the Treasury Department selecting Harriet Tubman to be the new face on the 20dollar bill. He said i dont like it. Id rather see her on a 2 dollar bill. Well, thats the reaction. I dont agree with his position. Harriet tubman is a liberator versus Andrew Jackson a slave master. She represents a kinder moral she represents the best of america. Overcoming our number one sin. That sin of slavery. She represents something very wholesome for america and Andrew Jackson recommendation something ugly. I disagree with trump on that. You have done so much in your life and career. What is auto life for you now and do you missing being out on the Campaign Trial . I do not. We never left. Were free and equal. The equality struggle, in the silicone valley, we came here a couple years ago. I mean, just these horrible numbers for the valley in terms of our capacity and now hp has four blackboard members. It had none. Apple has jim vail from boeing on their board now. They had none. Microsoft has jim johnson. So we see it opening up. Its much like Jackie Robinson story. We open up the doors and see america through a door, not a keyhole. What they dont see is money, market, talent, location, and growth. And so we are trying to take that blinder off. Remember how great you are. You cant be a oneeyed quarterback. And you are speaking as a former quarterback. Yeah. You were good. I got to tell you, youre making a difference. Youre going to be at montera millennials in oakland. You will be dont selfdistract. Do your best. You can beat odds. We are odds breakers and dream makers. We must believe that. I remember i was in sixth grade and one day mrs. Shelton came in the classroom. She was speaking from your diagram. All this. And so and she was writing big words on the board. Big, bywords. She said these are polysyllabic terms. I will never teach down to you. Run or governor or president one day. I dont want to be embarrassed. She ran on my ticket as state representative. We must not teach down to our children. They have infinite possibility. Lift them up and be up. All right. I wish you much success with what you are doing the tech conference conference and the veep tonight in hewlett packard. This is a dynamic mayor here. Brash lee and willie brown, they are champions for me. Of course, i got steph curry on the brain. Yes, you do. I wish you well. Reverand Jesse Jackson. Thank you for being here on mornings on 2. Now back to gasia. Thank you both. The massive cleanup at hippie hill begins this morning. How much trash is left behind and why the Parks Department calls this scene depressing . Also next whats happening on the campaign trail today and where donald trump plans to set up shop here in california. We are still seeing a commute that is going to be busy out there and this morning 80 is taking a beating, but also some of the other commutes surrounding this contra costa commute are going to be slow. The eclass has driverassist systems. It recognizes pedestrians and alerts you. Warns you about incoming crosstraffic. Cameras and radar detect dangers you dont. And it can even stop by itself. So in this crash test, one things missing a crash. The 2016 eclass. Now receive up to a 3,000 spring bonus on the e350 sport sedan. You live life your way. We can help you retire your way, too. Financial guidance while youre mastering life. From chase. So you can. 8 16. The president ial candidates are focusing on next weeks primaries after big wins by Hillary Clinton and donald trump in new york there are more calls in both parties for the other candidates to drop out of the race. So far though those candidates say they have no intention of going anywhere. You can really sense the frustration here from Ohio Governor john kasich as he leaves a press conference yesterday after being asked if he would consider becoming donald trump eights running mate. I am not running for anybodys vice president. I am going to be the nominee. Connecticut, delaware, maryland, pennsylvania, and rhode island goes to the polls next week. Donald trumps staffers say they plan to have a Sacramento Office open next week and another office in southern california. Trump is planning a number of appearances. A victory could put him in a position to clench. Nomination. Trump and ted cruz and john kasich is scheduled to address the California Republican partys convention in burlingame at the end of this month. Time is 8 17. Lets get you where you need to go. Sal, everybody behaving for you now . Yeah. I think that, well no . Tell the truth. I am going to qualify this. We dont have any major problems any more. However, there is slow traffic. Hows that . Okay. The honest answer. Slow traffic out there. We dont have any really serious crashes right now that we know of anyway according to chp. As i look over my chp list here, yes, i dont see any major crashes. Lets talk about what we have. Highway 24 and the bay bridge still kind of slow there. A little bit of a slow backup here on the westbound bay bridge approach as you drive into San Francisco. Going to take about 30 minutes to wade through all that slow traffic. Our spider is there. At barissa there is an accident. Most of the traffic is going the other way at this hour trying to get into the valley and the commute into the valley, by the way, are going to be busy in the south bay on 85 getting to sunnyvale and cupertino and Mountain View. Daly city and marin county, parts of Sonoma County and also up around santa rosa as well misty, drizzly, and low clouds. Systems on its way. Its already producing cloud cover and cooler temps today. Rains on the way for us today. Guess who doesnt need any more rain but they are getting rain . Right through houston. The last thing they need. But its going to be now, the good news is i think its proving pretty fast. Still rain on top of 16 inches of rain . Thats not good. There is a back edge of this. After today the conditions will get a little better. For us we will get some rain. Wont be that heavy unless you are up north. Moderate to heavy. For us cloudy with rain on the way. A lot of reports of drizzle this morning. The weekend will be partly sunny, breezy, and cool. It will look mostly cloudy for day baseball today. I would take the jacket. Maybe might want to carry a little umbrella as well. There is some drizzle in the mix around the area. Its hard to pick up though. Radar doesnt show it yet. But its there underneath that. Santa rosa, rohnert park, larkspur, daly city, everything from the westsouthwest the lows are way up. 50s and low 60s. Concord 60. Mountain view, sfo, oakland 62. On the peninsula even atherton, stanford and los altos low 60s. Same for san mateo and belmont. Dont see that all the time. Everyones stuck. Truckee snow will be an issue tomorrow afternoon. Some of that cold air is going to arrive. Until then its mild. Cloud cover gives us a cloudy to mostly cloudy day. Our front is right back here and its going to drop into the picture tonight. Rain picks up overnight north bay and for everybody tomorrow morning. The morning commute looks wet. The model has been consistent on this rainfall. About a quarter of an inch to a third to a halfinch. Santa rosa north three quarters. Mostly cloudy, breezy, school, patchy low clouds. Going to need a few sun breaks to eke out on 73s or 74s. A lot of 60s now. We started off monday with 80 to 90degree temps. We are on our way to 70s and 60s tomorrow with the rain. Steady rain on friday. Breezy, cool over the weekend. Thank you, steve. Any time. 8 20. You can make a difference for thousands of people in need. Ahead we are going to talk live with the president of the red cross about giving day. Plus, money business. The real reason you could be struggling to get enough sleep at night. Welcome back. Right now volkswagen executives are in San Francisco about its emission cheating scandal. What may be keeping you awake . And how you may soon be able to charge your phone with your house plants. For this and so much more we bring pam cook back to the studio. Great stories this morning. And wall street is affected by the warriors this morning. Yes. The opening bell was met with a lot of corporate earnings reports, including under armour and the company is praising steph curry for strong sales and brand recognition. The company has jordan spieth, who is doing quite well, tom brady and michael phelps. The numbers are up a little bit. General motors had a big first quarter. They are reporting earns of 2 billion, which beats analysts expectations. Profit margins were bolstered by consumers growing preference for larger vehicles, including pickup trucks and full size suvs. Gm had strong results in china and broke even in europe. Uber and lyft drivers could face a new rule if they use rental vehicles. They will sister making drivers sign contracts for at least four months. Drivers would have to disclose the vehicles purpose and that would affect the amount of drivers available. Uber has been asking riders in california to oppose the proposal. Twitter is eying japan to make money from Data Research for businesses. Tweets are public, but twitter offers special technological tools to better analyze them taking into account all tweets, including those in the archives. They monitor consumer reactions to a new product and demographics of users and complaints. Now, it does Partner Companies such as ntt data and net base which pay twitter. The partners, in turn, get paid by companies hoping to improve their businesses by using information from twitter data. And happening right now executives from volkswagen are telling a federal judge in San Francisco about a deal on that emissions cheating scandal with diesel cars sold here in the u. S. Part of the agreement between volkswagen and the u. S. Government involves the Company Buying back up to 500,000 diesel vehicles that were rigged to cheat on emissions tests. The german automaker is also expected to spend more than 1 billion to compensate car owners. However, there are reports that the agreement wont include plans on how to fix the affected cars. And you want to know one of the biggest reasons people dont get enough sleep . Its apparently about money. Thats according to credit card comparison website creditcards. Com. It surveyed 1,000 adults and found 68 of women and 58 of men say they lose sleep because of money worries. Some of the top related issues, savings for retirement, medical bills and mortgage or rent payments. And a company in spain says it has invented a way for people to charge their digital devices using a potted plant. Its sold through an indy go go campaign for a 100. It uses plant photosynthesis to generate organic compounds in the bottom of the plant. It travels along nano wires and captured in a special biological battery. Users can plug into the usb port in the pot. The system allows for three charges per day. So instead of having to look around for a plug, now you just walk around with a plant. Okay. We will see if it catches on. Thank you, pam. 8 27. Could Recreational Marijuana become legal in california . The push to get it on the ballot again. Thousands of people con vernalled to hippie hill at San Franciscos Golden Gate Park yesterday for 4 20 celebrations. Coming up the cleanup the day after.

You see grey. You see a postcard on your screen. This is where we live. At 8 30 we are talking about the major changes we have seen through the week in weather. Lets think back to monday. Steve, this is exactly what you predicted. The heat was on on monday. It was. I mean, 80s and news partners. Now we are cloudy, cool. Mostly cloudy, cool. Drizzle reports all morning long from about marin county northward. Even daly citys had a little bit. Cote, rohnert park, and dave up in novato says just got the tv on, getting ready for the giants game today. Hows the weather going to be . I am glad you asked that question. There you go. Mostly cloudy. 64. There might be a little drizzle. Might be a little drizzle. But nothing compared to what they had monday night and tuesday night when it was nice weatherwise. We have cocacola over cloud cover over us. 50s and 60s on the temps. East bay temps except for mount diablo, which is 49, everyone else in the 50s and 60s. Dublins in there. Brentwoods in there. 60 martinez. Not much of a difference on these temps to cloudy to mostly cloudy skies. There your front. Pretty good rain tomorrow. Then a cold, cold system will drop in on sunday and crank up the breeze. Mostly cloudy, breezy and cooler. Patchy low clouds. Drizzle. Rains on the way tonight. Also tomorrow. You heard me right, sal. Tomorrow morning commute. Might be a tough one. No. By the end of the day though, because there is a giants game tomorrow night. I think it will be gone by then. Okay. They will get that game in . Yes. Thank you, steve. My own personal weatherman. Steve, what do you think never mind. Lets take a look at the commute on 80. Steve, do you like movies about gladiators . [ laughter ] westbound 80 traffic slow from the carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze. Its just a volume thing. A lot of people are on this road. When you get to the bay bridge toll plaza, it is backed up all the way out to the macarthur maze. No major problems getting onto the bridge. But you will be waiting 25 minutes to do that before you get into the city. We also want to mention marin. Marin is quietly having a bad morning. Stopandgo traffic from highway 37 all the way down to central san rafael. Then more slow traffic through green bray. So even the people in beautiful marin, they have bad commutes, too. 8 33. Thousands of pounds of trash is being picked up in San Franciscos Golden Gate Park. Its the aftermath of the an actual 4 20 smokeout at hippie hill. Brian flores is there with the impact this is having on the city. Reporter when i spoke with the general manager of San Francisco rec and park earlier this morning he says he understands the events popularity, but his concern is about the parks. Speaking of the parks, we talked about several rec and parks employees picking up thousands of pounds of trash left behind. When we spoke with the general manager, he says really the amount of trash is depressing. After all, today is earth day. About 40 rec and park workers are picking up trash from the 4 20 smokeout yesterday. They estimate about that 17,000 pounds of trash will be picked up just from this event alone. And it cost the Department Thousands of dollars in overtime. Not to mention resources that would normally be out. They have to be diverted just to this spot to clean up. The one that disturbs rec and park is the amount of coal found on the grass. They say it damages the grass if left behind. The folks that are out here were from someplace else. There are other areas around the city that are not getting attended to this morning so we can clean this up. The second thing worth note something that this probably has an overall cost to our department of around 50,000, maybe 100,000 or so for the entire city. We can put a kid in summer camp for 300 bucks a week. Thats a lot of kids. Thats a lot of summer camp that we are spending right out here picking up other peoples trash. Reporter the people here had a great time. An estimated 10,000 people were here. The event was more than just lighting up. Plenty of food. Edibles like hash caramels. People from all over the world and from different generations were here, too. Its awesome. I mean, people that are my age and older and even younger and the younger ones are just all good. Its a good thing. This isnt drugs to me. This is not a drug. This is a medication. This is something that should be allowed just like alcohol. Reporter we should also mention there are a few incident from last night. About six somebody thought they heard gunshots and some describe it as a small stampede of people after they heard it. Police did not find a gun. There were about six arrests made. Bun for a robbery. One a traffic warrant. One was for resisting arrest. The hill was completely filled with trash. The quick work of these sf rec and park workers completely changed the landscape of this area hippie hill. They are having to deal with some light rain as it is beginning to fall this morning. Some people we spoke w they understand the brevity of the event. They would like to see this event sanctioned in the near future. Back to you. Thank you. And the celebration took on added meaning because of the burning to make Recreational Marijuana legal in california. Supporters are collecting signatures to place an initiative on the ballot that would legalize use for adults 21 and over. Backers say legalizing marijuana could create jobs and bring in 1 billion to the economy. The current market fuels an underground world. They dont pay taxes. They dont check i. D. S. Recent polls indicate that a majority of californians favor legalizing Recreational Marijuana. Voters rejected a similar measure in 2010. The license plate reader of a sacramento sheriffs deputy led to the arrest of a shooting suspect in berkeley. In mid march a man was found shot several times outside of a home. A woman was also shot in the head. She was dropped off at a hospital. Well, on tuesday a sacramento sheriffs deputys license plate reader spotted a car linked to that berkeley shooting. Officers then found the suspect, anthony burton, asleep in the drivers seat and they arrested him. Some drivers are asking for more Police Patrols following the latest freeway shooting in the east bay. A bouquet of flowers and candles marks the spot in pittsburg where a man was killed tuesday night. He was driving when someone possibly in another car opened fire. This was 18th freeway shooting in the east bay in the past six months. As a commuter in this area i would like to see beefed up Police Security now that we have this issue. Its been brought to our town. Seeing a little bit more often than it has before. The chp says investigators believe the victim was specifically targeted by the shooter but authorities havent released a description of the shooter or the car involved. They have also not commented whether this incident is related to the previous shootings we have been reporting on highway 4 and interstate 80. The man who saw San Francisco Police Officers a man who saw San Francisco Police Officers and head officers on a rooftop chase through nob hill before jumping and landing on a parked car is in jail. He is 34yearold alexander kolefnikov. Police say he pointed a gun at officers before running to another building and then jumping from the rooftop to another rooftop. He jumped off of a building, landed on a parked car. Officers were looking around. He has been booked on charges including burglary, assault with a Deadly Weapon on a Police Officer and possession of a bbgun. 8 39. A tech mogul who took a plea deal in a high profile Domestic Violence case three years ago is due in court tomorrow. They say he violated his probation. Now he was arrested in 2013 after prosecutors say he purged and kicked his then punched and kicked his then girlfriend more than 100 times. It was recorded on Home Security video. The judge ruled it was sieze illegally. In 2014, he was arrested again. Police say he attacked another woman he was dating. Tomorrow prosecutors will ask a judge to revoke his probation. He could be sent to jail for a year. New developments in the agreement between the u. S. Government and volkswagen on the emissions cheating scandal involving diesel cars sold here in the united states. A federal judge in San Francisco now says the car owners effected by the scandal will have the option of either having the automaker buy back the cars or fix them. The companys buying back up to 500,000 diesel vehicles that were rigged to cheat on emissions tests. The german automaker is also expected to spend more than 1 million to compensate car owners. Well, whether steph curry is going to play tonight is a game time decision. So many people, including the reverand Jesse Jackson who you just talked to, want to know whats happen. Allie rasmus is here to talk about what curry himself said about playing tonight. Reporter steph curry told reporters if game three happened yesterday, he probably wouldnt have played. He didnt feel like he had recovered enough. He said yesterday that that all could change by tonight. Well see whether he plays in game three. It will be a game time decision as you mentioned. Still up in the air right now. Curry practiced yesterday after the team landed in texas. He did the drills, went through his post practice shooting routine. He said his heart is geared towards playing and he wants to be out there with his teammates. He was conflicted about striking that balance about getting back that action and playing it safe for hi his longterm health. Not doing further damage or hurting myself even more. Balancing that with, you know, the time, you know, its a great time to keep doing what were doing and taking advantage of this playoff run. So just got to be splatter. The opponent is no factor. No. It doesnt matter who were playing. Honestly, it doesnt even matter the series score. Like, i mean its nice to be up 20 and say, all right, you know, well give him rest or whatever. But it really isnt about that. Its about whether he is okay or not. Reporter now, fans are optimistic the team can beat houston tonight with their mvp because the warriors have already won their last two games against the rockets. One of them also without curry. Tipoff at 6 30 tonight. Game four is on sunday also in houston. Back to you guys. All right. Allie rasmus, thank you. Lets go to sal castaneda. We have breaking news.

Joining me live now, the president and ceo of the American Red Cross. Gail mcgovern, youre here and the red cross is marking the Second Annual giving day event. Good morning. Good morning. Dave. Thank you so much for having me on your show. I am so glad thaw are here. Before we get into the giving day and all thats involved, tell me what the red cross is doing for these flood victims in houston. Well, first of all, our hearts go out to the people of houston. They got clobbered this time, as you mentioned. They got 17 inches of rain in an hour. And it was earlier this year that they got clobbered before. So they are finally moving back into their homes and they get clobbered again. And its so difficult dealing with floods. The American Red Cross so on the ground. We have hundreds of volunteers there. We have opened up seven shelters. We have served 17,000 meals and snacks. We have Emergency Response vehicles driving around the communities, giving out hot meals. And were giving out bulk relief items. Things like rakes and shovels so people can muck out of their homes yet again. We wish them well. Gail, lets go right to giving day. Tell me more about that and how we can all help the red cross. Well, giving day is a 24 Hour Campaign that were running, asking the American Public to step up and give a gift to the American Red Cross so that we can support families that are victims of disasters like in houston like you just described. We actually respond to 66,000 disasters every year, believe it or not. Thats one every eight minutes. And these families can really use our help. So were asking feel go to our website redcross. Org or text to 90999 for 10 donation. They should text it the word red cross. There were so many different ways that they can help. They can volunteer. But were really looking for some financial donations. Any gift size is deeply, deeply appreciated. For under 100 you can help a family impacted by a disaster. But like i said, any gift. There is no gift too small. And we really need the help because everything we do is because of the generosityof the american people. Well, ktvu wants to do its part as well in getting the word out.
