California as she prefers to represent the state on being ecofriendly in a national competition. Welcome to mornings on the the 9. Van hailen. Where were you in 1984. Listening to this. I think we are all. As we take a live lookout side, its cooler than it has been the past few days. This is one of the songs of my youth. Its been a busy morning and traffic has been a mess. A number of crashes on 880 have backed up commutes. . These are pictures from sky fox live shots. The backup is continuing on 880 out souther past the mall down toward union city. The tractor has been taken off the k rail and the the trailer has been removed, however theyre still doing work on that guardrail and the freeway is still a mess. Brian florez has been helping us on the coverage and he has more on when it will reopen. Slow progress is exactly whats going on here this morning. Were look northbound. Call transs crews are putting on solvent on the roadway. The northbound side three lanes are open. Its going to open completely probably within 20 minutes. The first accident happened when a big rig had mechanical problems stalled in one of the lane. A mini van crashed into the back of that big rig. 30 minutes later after that on the the south bound side as people were rubber necking, the driver of another car cut off another big rig and the driver of a second big rig swerved and crashed on the centerrer devied. Injuries were minor. The driver of the mini van had minor issues. Its so important to keep your eyes on the road no matter what. The biggest thing to do is stay focused on the roadway ahead babas other people are beginning to be doing it. We highly discourage it. People can change lanes or stop at a moments notice. It could be in lanes ahead of you and when your attention is diverted off the roadway ahead, your reaction timesavers. The big rig was carrying 20,000 bounds of cargo, the second big red rig was carrying boxes of clothes. One was leaking diesel fuel but crews are cleaning that up. The first accident just after 4 20 this morning. A tow truck is there as well with. Traffic remains heavy on the the northbound and south bound side. It looks like theyll clear this scene within the next 20 minutes. The lanes will be opening roughly around 9 30. Its been a mess for us. Brian, thank you for that update. It could be a rough drive around Golden Gate Park way because of the the annual celebration. Of the annual celebration. Ive already not a tweet of lane block. Thousands of people expected to attend the 4 20 event. Neighbors have complained to police about the event saying the crush of people attracts criminal activity, tries up traffic and some areas are railroad being blocked off. Also arthurman being bloked off. We plan to be swift with arresting and removing individuals from the area so the area can remain safe. This event happens each year. The city estimates 10,000 pounds of trash was left behind just last year a meeting that lasted until 2 00 in the morning, a vote on land lords raising rent. Hundreds of people showed up. The new rules apply to some 44,000 san jose apartments built during 139. People spoke on both sides and were very emotional. Please do not approve this modification on the backs of the mom and pop businesses. I give my tenants a hand up, not a hand out. Most of my moms money goes to rent. Please allow my mom to save money for my college. New york voters handed victories to front runners Hillary Clinton and donald trump. Big wins in yesterdays primaries is a major set back to their challengers. . We dont have much of a. We dont have much of a race anymore. Senator cruz is just about mathematically eliminated. Were in the home stretch and victory is in sight. Both trump and clinton won by bigger margins than the polls predicted. Next news rhode island, delaware and maryland. We have ross here with us. Lets start with the republican side, we heard donald trump saying just about mathematically cruz is out. Is it time for him to step back and say its time to rally the party or continue the the protest all the way to the convention. What big wins to both parties. Theres all the punishes you can imagine puns out there you can imagine. Donald trump got 89 delegates. Ted cruz got zero. Ted cruz out this morning saying hes going the convention that he doesnt believe donald trump is going to get the 1237 he needs. Donald trump saying its almost impossible for ted cruz to get the delegates to reach those numbers. The fight continues. I dont think anyone will drop out before the convention. Donald trump sounds different. Instead of calling him a big loser, hes calling him senator cruz and beginning to gather himself to be more president ial. Thats an excellent point. Thats the nail on the head. Donald trump sounded much more reserve and president ial last night. Look at the tweet. He wrote ted cruz is mathematically out of winning the race. Now all he can do is be a spoiler. Never a nice thing to do. Instead of saying hes a big loser. Hes looking more president ial. He has new management. He e hasnt been making round on tv talk shows. Hes emerging is it good for the republican if cruz continues to go to the convention in congressional races around the country. If this goes to the convention on the republican side, it could jeopardize the party. This is a disaster for the gop. Donald trump candidacy is fracturing the party. I dont think anything is going to change until the convention. Both party also probably go to a vote on the convention floor. Bernie sanders saying even saying its mathematically impossible, hes going to go all the way to the end and try to flip delegates just like ted cruz is doing on the republican side. Every person coming out of the polling booth we saw live, thats the first thing they mentioned. New yorkers are very proud from being from new york and he got zero delegates last night and i think thats the reason. Bernie sanders was at home in vermont when Hillary Clinton was saying victory is in sight. Did it seem like he gave up before the fight was over. No. If you were independent or not registered you could not vote for him. He said it would be much closer. The final polls out before the final election had him getting closer to Hillary Clinton. He lost by more than 14 points. Thats a devastating blow to him. The tuesday primaries are closed as well. Were wondering whether someone drops out, thats what were saying. . At some point in 2016 there will be two people running against each other for president , right. Exactly. The big take away from us here in california, register to vote. You have until may 23rd and we have a semi closed primary. You can vote as a registered democrat or registered no party. That is the only way to vote for Hillary Clinton or bernie sanders. For a republican you have to be a registered republican to vote in the primary coming up. Thank you ross. Weve heard a number of people in our news room saying im registered to vote. The deadline is may 23rd. Do you feel the same way. Perhaps youre registering for the first time. Let us know. Well read your responses later on about 9 30 today. Another shooting on freeway.
