She was going to get lunch when it happened. All of a sudden, this guy just rammed into the building. I said, oh, my god. This guy has just ran into the building. Reporter they say the hummer slammed into the front door not once, not twice, but three times and people started running for cover. She was at the hostess stand when it happened.

Reporter diner employees managed to drag the driver of the hummer out of the truck before it was totally engulfed in flames, but he didnt come out of the truck willingly. He said leave me alone.

Cloudy, cooler and mostly cloudy with light rain. And the cooling will continue, the main message with the cloud cover. 60s and low to mid 70s. 5 01 am. Things are okay, and this light rain that you speak of . Very little. Not enough to mess up the commute. Back we do not want an inconvenience for the traffic and weather report. That goes without saying. I know we have a lot of fans. Is it windy . It is very windy. Lets go out and take a look at the commute. The traffic is moving along okay. Not a lot going on this morning, and we want to keep it that way on this wednesday. A 17 minute drive is about as good as it gets between the carquinez bridge and the maccarthur maze.

We are looking at 80 between vallejo and hercules, looking good. 680 looking well from the benicia bridge to concord and walnut creek. At least for now, we are off to a decent start. The Alameda Po
Third time. The billowing black smoke reached high into the air. A hummer on fire at the entrance to the silver diner at tysons corner. Just so terrible, so shocking, you know . Everyones there, you know, talking and having their coffee or having lunch, and it was just so out of the blue. But time just completely froze. Reporter he took this video. He was inside having a cup of coffee when it happened. Mr. Yateman and other witnesses say it appears the driver of the hummer deliberately drove it into the diner a number of times. And at one point, pinned a customer against the front door. There was a man who got p pinned against the door. It was it was full force on.

Reporter then came the fire, that roaring torch like fire that they say appeared to start in the front between the driver and passengers seat. You could see it flaming up right near the driver, and thats where the fire first showed up. Then it got bigger and big

I do not see a lot of slow traffic, but there does appear to be something going on in petaluma. Northbound 101, the over crossing an accident. At the southbound traffic is beginning to fill in, so steve is absolutely right. And if there is a little bit of rain, im looking at that little bit of slow traffic heading south. It is generally slow anyway, but the rain never helps the commute. We will keep an eye on that. Thank you in the control room for actually listening to what i am saying. Thank you. Traffic will be busy at the toll plaza of the bay bridge, and it is dry at the toll plaza. This is a 25 minute delay, a look at interstate 880, a
