You probably know that if you drive that way every day. Lets talk about 80 westbound. Not too bad for a morning commute. 34 minutes is much better than some of the times i have seen this week from the carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze. When you get to the bay bridge, it is backed up for a 20, 25 minute delay. Once you make it on to the bridge, it looks okay. Not too much slow traffic. And the san mateo bridge continues to look good across the span over to the peninsula. You can see just on our traffic maps someone asked me can you mention highway 4. It really is slow.

Rob malcolm is live now with what is happening now. Rob. Reporter good morning. What you see here now is just the aftermath of this fire. This building is completely gutted. The majority of the fire crews have left the area. One fire truck is off to the side, monitoring the building. If you look at the roof of the building, it did, were told, collapse inside. That is why they brought in a second alarm. We want to show you video that was shot from a stringer earlier. Take a look at this as fire crews were called around 3 02 this morning. Once the crews got on scene, they found the building completely engulfed in fire. We heard from the San Jose Fire Department that the blaze started on the outside of the building. And it quickly spread. The flames then vented to the roof area. And as i mentioned earlier, thats when the second alarm was called in for a ladder truck. Now, the building used to be an auto parts store. It was abandoned and boarded up. It helped the crews knock it down quickly. It was also boarded up so were told that no one was inside. Here is what we were told by the fire chief this morning. The building looked like it was boarded up pretty well. But there is always the potential that someone on the exterior may have had a squatter fire so we need to investigate that. Reporter yeah. Just go ahead. And back here live, the fire investigators are still Walking Around the building. They will be on scene. The good news is that south white road is open now. Traffic was closed here earlier this morning while the police had it blocked off and there was a contingent of fire crews on scene.

It is a good move. Reporter from president trump, a statement. A thorough investigation will confirm what we already no. There was no collusion between my campaign and any foreign entity. He spoke at the commencement of the coast guard. No politician in history, and i say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly. You cant let them get you down. Reporter mueller in the meantime brings a wealth of experience, having served as fbi director for 12 years, appointed by george w. Bush, the term extended by president obama.

The types of debts have changed since then. Now Student Loans and car loans make up a larger percentage of debt, while mortgages and credit card debts are lower than prerecession levels.

San franciscos muni has been testing the brandnew light rail vehicles. They should be in use by the end of this year. Our Sal Castaneda got to tour the new cars early on and gives us a look at the new features that could alleviate problems of overcrowding and delays on muni. Reporter from the outside, the new trains look similar to the ones running now. But there are a lot of improvements both in and out. When you step inside, you will notice the seating is different. The seats are side facing which makes for wider aisles and easier access for people in wheelchairs. It also makes it easier for people to stand and to get on and off crowded trains. And there are more places to hold on. As soon as we get the cars into service, we will use them on the most crowded lines. Because our twin problems, if you will, with the Current System are first crowding and second reliability. And there will be an immediate improvement in both as we introduce the new cars. Reporter muni delays on the subway are often caused by defective doors. Muni Officials Say as many as 40 of all delays are caused by door problems. Recently a door even fell off a moving train. The new lrvs have a better door that fails less and is easier to diagnose and fix when it does. Technology is the key in the new street cars. Not only will it make it better for riders, but it will make it easier for technicians to diagnose problems. If you have a problem with a component that you dont have an urgent problem but you need to look at this component or it may fail in two days or two hours, it will provide very specific information. Reporter leading to fewer surprises and broken down trains. The new cars are also lighter, which means less wear and tear on tracks and other infrastructure. Muni says the new cars will also be quieter. The new cars will be phased in over the next ten years, until all of the old runs with retired. Each one costs 3. 3 million. Muni has agreed to purchase 250 new lrvs at a cost of 700 million that comes from federal, state and local funds. Muni has been testing the new trains in the late night and Early Morning hours to make sure that the trains can fit in all of the tunnels and make the turns of the system. Julius is one of the mechanics assigned to working on the new cars. It is super exciting. It is like a kid on christmas. You open it up and playing with it and trying to figure things out. It is something exciting and new for San Francisco. Reporter the new street cars are the first to be purchased before the last major purchase in the mid1990s. Sal, i think you were actually there back in 959 when the then new muni car thats we ride on now were unveiled. I was also there, this is going to show my age, in 78, i was riding street cars to school and a news crew scad me in 78, put cameras in my brace face, i had braces at the time, what do you think of these new muni street cars. I think it was 1980. I said i think theyre great. Because i was having trouble talking with my braces. We have to find that. Yeah. Anyway, our question of the day, by the way is about muni. What is the biggest concern with the transit system. Let us know what you think by voting on ktvu twitter page or ktvu. Com. You can also comment on our ktvu facebook page. Ge. Thank you, sal. All right. U2 rocked santa clara last night late into the night, in front of a sold out crowd at levis stadium. [music] more than 50,000 people watched the concert live last night. U26789 celebrating the 30th anniversary of joshua tree. Fans enjoyed the show but not without controversy. The show went past the weekday curfew of 10 00 at night. Vta provided extra trains for the concert which means that taxpayers have to pick up part of the tab for that. We estimate it is roughly 60,000 to 65,000 per event when you add up train operators and security. When the whole of the county are paying for services to go to one venue for a finite number of people, it doesnt seem really fair. The 49ers were in charge of managing the event. Vta asked to be reimbursed. But the 49ers said they have never had to pay for service for nonnfl events. One man from sacramento even tweeted he was at a stand still in the parking lot and never made it to the show. The time is 7 26. The death of Chris Cornell is being investigated as a possible suicide this morning, according to variety magazine. [music] black hole sun wont you come wash away the rain cornell was the cofounder lead singer and rhythm guitarist for soundgarden. He had been on tour and performed with the band just last night. Variety reports the Detroit Police found him unresponsive in his hotel room and pronounced dead a short time later. Investigators are waiting for the medical report that would include a cause of death. People at the show said he appeared animated on stage last night. He was 52 years old. The time is 7 27. One spurs fan beyond angry about the injury during game one. The lawsuit he is now filing against the warriors and zaza patulia. Good morning. We do have traffic that is going to be busy in many areas, including the bay bridge where you see slow traffic approaching treasure island. Were all set for sunshine and warmer temps. Not too hot. Quin was crazy about curls. But it took a twist of fate to find a highend curler at such a head turning price. And thats the beauty of a store full of surprises. You never know what youre gonna find, but you know youre gonna love it. [music] taking a live look at the bay bridge. Blurry eyed this morning. Maybe you saw u2 last night. Maybe youre just looking forward to a nice warm weekend. Whatever your story this morning, thanks for joining us on morn morning. It is thursday, may 18th. Im gasia mikaelian. Good morning. Im dave clark. Glad youre with us. Steve paulson is with us as well. He is right here in his office. I am indeed. You guys are over in your office. Right. It will be a nice day, lots of sunshine. Thank you, gasia and dave. A warmer pattern will take us into the weekend. After that, it looks cooler. Just calling it like i see t the next couple of days, we will bump up the inland temps and bayside. Coast will probably stay in the 60s. Santa cruz in the 70s. Warmest day is saturday. Probably still warm on sunday. But the water temps is so cold that it doesnt take long to get the fog going in the morning. The coast is clear, as we say. Patchy fog down to monterey. Not much. 40s and 50s. Brentwood shows 63. Woodside made it to 40. 45 now. Stanford is 45. 55 san mateo. They were down to 46. 40s on the temps but sunshine and warmer temps. All of the Severe Weather will be out oklahoma and kansas and the plains. High pressure and warmer temps will carry us into the weekend. A little above average. Havent said that for a while. 60s, 70s and some 80s. Sal, 7 32, what is on your screen, sir. The biggest problem is 238 at 880. Who whole area, im going to put it on the map, the whole area from san leandro to the 92 interchange, really in both directions but mostly the northbound direction is very slow. Weve had a bunch of slow accidents. Avoid that section of the nimitz freeway. The traffic on 580 to avoid it is picking up. As people are clearly avoiding 880. I would suggest that. Avoid 880. 880 if youre getting on the freeway after, lets say, san leandro, if youre getting on in oakland, it looks okay driving up to downtown oakland. No problems getting to the bay bridge toll plaza. That traffic is okay. No major problems by the way on 580 at the macarthur maze here. Getting into San Francisco, once you get on to the bridge, it looks okay. 7 33. Lets go back to the desk. Thank you, sal.

Well, a court ruling in a separate trial may have a big impact on the sierra lamar murder case. The penalty phase in the trial of garciatorres will continue today. But legal experts say it may be overshadowed by what happened in another murder trial. Last week a judge set aside the convictions of two men in a 2009 stabbing after he concluded that Santa Clara County sheriff Sergeant Herman leon gave false testimony. He testified against Garcia Torres. The fact that the officers testimony was the basis for overturning another murder conviction is highly relevant. Now the question will be what did he testify to in the sierra lamar case and would the defense have tried the case differently had they known of this credible issue.

I want to show you the traffic is very slow in san leandro. Really in both directions. Mostly northbound. Because of an incident earlier. A couple of crashes here on 880. Now, it doesnt take a lot we dont need a lot of help to make the commute slow. People on 580 are heading over to the lake shore area. That will be slow.

Santa rosa 82 today. San francisco 64 to 68. Livermore finally getting above average. 73 to 82 today. And san jose from 71 to 78 degrees. The forecast temps fort weekend again, this is based on what we call the model output statistics calls the mos, there wont be a quiz, i promise. East san jose will be warmer.
