hospital said they could not comment on the case due to patient privacy laws but said in a statement, "patients in our emergency room are offered food, clothing and access to transportation and housing resources, if needed. additionally, dominican hospital works with several organizations in the community to provide resources for those in need," but that did not seem to happen in this case. today we found the man still on the streets sitting on a bus stop bench near downtown santa cruz. he did not want to be identified or interviewed, but adams did follow up with him and said the man told him hospital security ejected him without his belongings or other medications after a dispute with staff about the need for numerous blood draws. >> it doesn't matter what happened in the hospital. security personnel from a hospital shouldn't put an elderly man in a wheelchair out with so few clothing in the wintertime at 1 or 12 in the morning. >> reporter: the man is apparently from the monterey area, may be transporting back and forth through public transportation into this area. homeless advocates are now looking for anyone who might be related to him that might be able to help him out. live in santa cruz, len ramirez, kpix5. new at 6:00 our first look at how the san francisco mayor's race is shaping up. we have the results of our exclusive kpix5 survey usa poll. former state senator mark leno leads the pack with 22% of the vote. acting mayor london breed is a close second at 19% followed by supervisor jane kim at 14%. former supervisor angela alioto rounds out the top four candidates for the special election june 5th. kpix5's phil matier is here with a closer look at what is behind these numbers. >> it's an interesting time. the untimely passing of mayor ed lee has taken an 18 month race and shrunk it down to a five month sprint and all the candidates were out at the gate this morning. let's take a look. and they're off! with just five months to go before the special june election the top four san francisco mayoral candidates, mark leno, jane kim, angela alioto and acting mayor london breed were out this morning working hard for the labor vote at today's annual mlk breakfast. >> you got to move fast. >> every minute counts. >> reporter: leading the pack is former state senator leno who according to a new exclusive kpix5 survey usa poll is the first pick with 22% of the city voters. >> i feel good. i'm energized. >> reporter: leno better be energized because the same poll shows acting mayor london breed on his heels followed by supervisor jane kim with former supervisor angela alioto bringing up the rear. >> we had planned on a two year marathon. it's now a five month sprint. >> reporter: add in the fact one of four voters are undecided on any candidate and the bottom line is anyone could win. >> i'm going to make a lot of noise. >> the no. 1 issue in the city today is making sure that we have a clean city. >> removing those 10 enencampments. >> reporter: and then there is -- encampments. >> reporter: and then there is the influence of tech. while more than half said the influence of tech companies has been good for the city, almost everyone said tech has too much say in city hall. >> we should be investing those dollars back into the community. >> everyone's voice should be heard at city hall irrespective of their depth of their pockets. >> it's a total divide and it's not about money influencing. it's about the person who is in the office and what they're going to do to make sure that they're fair, that they support all constituents of the city. >> reporter: in short, when it comes to issues, there's not a whole lot of differences between the top four candidates. so the final decision could come down to whose personality sells best with the public. as for the labor vote, as firefighter union president tom o'connor told us, they've been good to all candidates and all candidates have been good to them over the years. >> we've endorsed everybody running. so this will be the most difficult decision we've had. >> it's going to be tough for voters as well because san francisco as you may know has rank choice voting. so everybody gets three picks. when we look at these numbers, it's the top four that are probably going to be splitting it up. i have a feeling this will be a tight race and go down to the wire. >> looking at those numbers which one stands out as the most meaningful? >> actually none of them have to do with the candidates themselves but the overall perception of how san francisco's going. 46% said san francisco is on the wrong track and only 35% said it's headed in the right direction. you take a look at numbers like that and what it's basically saying is that people aren't happy. so it's going to be a tough time for whoever is foreseen as being in charge. >> there's room for somebody to jump in, take advantage of that. >> try to make this city even better, allen, what a challenge. right now authorities are looking for a man who led officers on a chase in a stolen truck. that chase started about noon in san francisco. it traveled down the peninsula ending near highway 237 and the sunnyvale golf course. the suspect stole this white box truck and drove the wrong way on highway 237 just before crashing. the man ditched the vehicle and took off running. look at this video. it shows officers with their guns drawn looking for the suspect. chp says this all started when the owner of the truck began chasing the thief. >> we were informed that the registered owner was following his stolen truck. very fortunate that truck did not collide with any vehicles on 237. no one was hurt. no one was injured. >> look at what was inside the truck, a washer and some other supplies. the suspect is on the loose this evening. they've been at it for 10 years and now a street widening project in the north bay has hit yet another roadblock. stoney point road in santa rosa was supposed to be done in 2016, but a newly discovered design error is making the project drag on even longer. kpix5's emily turner says that's why crews now have to tear apart what they already finished. >> reporter: the mistake of a few inches will mean more city money and months of delay on what has now become santa rosa's longest road work project. >> it's irritating as all get out. >> reporter: this 1,000-foot stretch of stoney point road is the last phase of the project, but the city says a design error is now pushing the finish date from spring to summer and upping the tab by 2 to $300,000. it's easier to show you exactly what i'm talking about and what went wrong. essentially the road is at one level. if i get down here, you can see that it's much higher than the curb right here. originally they were going to bring the road down to this level, but then they found out that the water main underneath this portion of the road is actually not as deal as they thought. so now -- deep as they thought, so now they have to bring the curb and gutter back up to the level of the road in order to make everything flush. the entire project has taken about 10 years and this is the third delay. at this point the city said no one person or party is to blame, but the locals want more of an answer. >> why has it got to this point where it's taken so long and there is extra money. who is keeping track of this? that's what i want to know. >> reporter: in santa rosa, emily turner, kpix5. >> it does make you wonder. surfers taking advantage of some big waves, but there is danger when the surf kicks up, of course. in santa cruz surfers lined up to try the waves at steamer lane, some good rides for sure when you know what you're doing, but high surf advisory is in effect until tomorrow afternoon for all bay area beaches. as we have seen in the past, big waves can take down beachgoers and pull them out to deep water. meanwhile the popular maverick surf contest in half moon bay has been delayed, officials keeping an eye on conditions and say thursday may be the best bet to see the bigger swell. tonight would be the best bet to get some rainfall over the next 24 hours because that is heading our way. we have some rain and light rain moving in. here are some details on that high surf advisory. until 4:00 tomorrow rougher than average surf with northwest swells 12 to 14 feet. cloudy now, no rain yet. when does the rain arrive? the answer is coming up. >> also straight ahead, children shackled, tortured and chained to their beds, the discovery in a southern california home. >> a world war ii veteran's brave acts erased from history, now the long battle for recognition finally over. >> five tiny miracles, the bay area parents of quintuplets speak out about their bundles of joy and their high risk delivery. that injured 3 people. an in one car san francisco police are looking for suspects in a freeway shooting that injured three people. a gunman in one car opened fire on another along i-280 in alemany. southbound lanes were shut down several hours during the morning commute. officers say the victims in a cadillac escalade drove themselves to the hospital. their injuries appear to be nonlife threatening. ect informat >> they all indicated they did not see anything. they're not speaking to why they were shot at and so we are going on what we have now, which is really no information on a suspect vehicle. >> with no suspect information chp investigators say it is unclear if the shooting was targeted. an outbreak of norovirus at a san francisco school has caused at least 57 people to become ill. public health officials say 53 students and four teachers at mckinley elementary started showing symptoms after returning from winter break. the school district says that it has brought in extra janitors to clean the school and sent home letters to parents with tips on how to prevent the spread of that virus. a chinatown legend is the latest confirmed death from the flu in san francisco. his name?

sonoma and napa county and points north by midnight tonight. it will be in and out quickly and nothing like the storm last week that dropped 3 inches of rain over 24 hours. this will be in and out in a couple hours. we may get about 0.1-inch of rainfall. it will be rough at the beach, though, until the front leaves tomorrow at 4:00 tomorrow afternoon, rougher than average surf, especially the west facing beaches, high risk of rip currents, swells running 12 to 14 feet, some breakers as high as 18 feet. it's a glancing blow. sometimes we get the jet stream support like last monday where it piles in. this time the front makes it here, but the jet stream energy stays to our north. that is what we are seeing with this system and the next couple systems will be very similar, more of a direct hit in british columbia and the pacific northwest, but it beats no rainfall because we did that in december. now we'll be in between where we get beneficial rain, but no flooding issues. overnight tonight the front is in the bay area about 1 a.m. and all but washed out by 6 a.m. maybe a few sprinkles for the early morning commute and that is it, some clearing in the afternoon. we stop futurecast at 11:00 in the morning with clear skies over the bay area, but here come the next rainmaker arriving thursday morning in the north bay and work its way south. just like the last color palette was more lighter grades of green, lighter precipitation, i expect the same coming up on thursday. futurecast shows the third chance of rainfall arriving on sunday impacting your weekend plans, especially late weekend, sunday afternoon. that one has the highest potential for maybe moderate rain a couple hours. no flooding is expected, but the forecast can be refined. we have three different rain chances to watch over the week, no significant storms, but it will add up to about an inch of rainfall over the next seven days. a weak front tonight with light rain likely and with the second system thursday into friday the snow level drops 3,000 feet which means even mount hamilton, mount st. helena in the bay area could have a little light snow friday once the front moves through. highs tomorrow with morning showers, san jose 62, redwood city 60, tuesday highs san ramon and walnut creek 61, richmond 59 with a few overnight showers. napa, sonoma, novato 60 degrees, clovedale, windsor, lake port upper 50s, dry wednesday, more showers thursday into friday morning. nobody hits 60 over the weekend, chilly with sunday the whether weekend day of the two. that is your kpix5 forecast. >> thank you,
