Causing a commute nightmare. Traffic reporter george rask tells us things are still affected even at this hour. Indeed they are, michelle. And for those of you who may have been with us during the kpix 5 morning news, youre aware that we had this big rig that overturned at 3 a. M. On 880 southbound right at a street. It managed to block lanes until 10 a. M. And even virtually shut down the northbound lanes of the freeway. Now all lanes are open finally. Lets take a look, though, at what the chp had to contend with this morning. Heres a look at footage that was shot by chopper 5. There you can see not only the big rig, but the large freeway sign. The overhead sign that was anchored in the center divider, thats one of the things that got knocked down and had to be picked up with a crane. The chp tells us how this accident occurred when we spoke with them earlier this morning. So we got a call of a vehicle stalled here on the freeway southbound 880 just south of a street. And we heard a c
580 freeway in oakland. Kpix 5s joe vazquez reports it was caused by the owner using propane to exterminate termites. Reporter flames shot out the windows. The house next door was in serious danger of also going up in smoke. Neighbors say it all started with a loud explosion. Boom just a loud boom. And the whole house shook. You can see the flames went up about 10 feet. Reporter this man was upset because his cat was trapped inside. He wanted to go in after it. As night fell, firefighters found the mans cat. They rescued and resuscitated him. As you can see, smoke is still pouring off his body. His owner was still upset but grateful. The building has severe fire damage inside. The house next door has some charring on the outside but was spared any serious damage. In all, five adults and one child are left without a place to stay the night. And some other pets who escaped will also be looking for shelter. Joe vazquez, kpix 5. There were no injuries in that fire that started just after 8
It is 63 degrees in mountain view. Good morning, fremont also low 60s. Later today, well see all that cloud cover dial back. Sunshine inland temperatures in the 80s.

Lets go outside show you whats going on at 5 01. We have fog blanketing the Golden Gate Bridge. Southbound 101 still in the clear though. That drive time says 14 minutes in the southbound lanes between san rafael and the Golden Gate Bridge toll plaza. San mateo bridge traffic also cruising along at the speed limit out of hayward. You will slow down a bit in richmond. We had an earlier oil spill. It was actually some caltrans roadwork that kind of had a little mistake there and so various lanes blocked overnight. They cleared it to the right hand shoulder eastbound 580 at marina bay parkway but still sluggish as you pass the scene. That is your latest kcbs traffic. Back to
To embarcadero. But all of it was scheduled to wrap up by 5 00 and again, the drive time only says about 15 minutes in the northbound lanes in the commute direction between 238 and the maze. In fact, your other east bay popular drive times for this time of the morning still look good including the eastshore freeway. No major delay richmond to berkeley or into emeryville. Only about 19 minutes from the carquinez bridge to the maze. And through the Altamont Pass and tracy, still okay even though we are seeing brake lights. Bay bridge no problem into San Francisco. That is kcbs traffic. Back to you guys. Thank you, liz. A bay area woman is in jail in l. A. For hopping a free flight to l. A. X. She is 62yearold Marilyn Hartman.
