Joining us now live from the scene. Robber checking in with you a little bit earlier than expected. But can you tell us whats happening there . Just seen everything happened really quickly. When i first arrived on scene when i got here at the intersection of taylor and washington street, washington street is a street that runs straight down behind me. You can see a crew there actually working on the tracks with the cable car was located, but understand what happened. This cable car was coming down washington street and to avoid a vehicle. The driver of the cable car had to pull the emergency brake. And when that happened, everyone on that cable car lurched forward, somebody from the Fire Department telling me that around a dozen people were evaluated in 6 of those people were taken to the hospital with minor injuries. The good news is that no one was seriously hurt. In this incident. Theyve since towed away the cable car actually did talk with a couple visiting from texas about the experience they were on the cable car. Happened here . What they had to say. Down the hill. And we could see in the middle of the intersection of there was a black prius. He was just like parts of the middle. No other cars around him. So as were coming down, the driver of the cable car starts to like ring a bell. It makes, i guess, with like their horn to make noise so that the guy would move the car would move and it wasnt moving. So were like literally getting closer. And he pulled, i guess, the emergency brake. I actually thought we hit the car because we all just flew to the front of the, you know, the trolley. And, you know, everybody like really sure he was hanging onto the side. Hurt his hand. I hurt my ankle. My my back. But our and was here from texas got taken to the hospital long with one of our cousins. Now, i understand that all the injuries, as i said minor in this incident a lieutenant with the Fire Department, i talked to told me that its when they pulled the emergency brake on these cable cars, the its actually very extensive. The something rate down to the track to stop. And thats what officials with the sfmta are here now removing from the track. While they do that, it looks Like Washington street will remain closed. Theyve towed away the cable car. So Taylor Street is open to traffic, but theyll be on scene here, at least for the next our so they told me to work on the tracks make repairs and remove the emergency brake justine. Did they say anything about that black prius that was in the middle of the intersection . The lieutenant, the Fire Department did not tell me any information about that vehicle. But the couple that you heard from that i spoke with, they told me that the driver of the car drove away right afterwards actually did not stay on scene. Im sure theyll be looking for that driver have some questions for that person. Rob nesbitt, thank you for that live report on that woman that you talked to.

Cool temperatures and rain welcome relief for some after last weeks heatwave kron. 4 Charles Clifford live for us now in the north bay with a look at the conditions there said you get wet at all today, charles. A little bit. You know, it really started sprinkling here Sonoma County around noon. Weve had some off and on sprinkles through a since then, but nothing too heavy. Lets go and take a look at some video here. Now theres a line of kind of a line of rain that moves started moving through the north bay. And then after we saw rain and santa rosa remove the pedal luma and then nevado and down written along the peninsula there. So that band of moisture passing through. Well have more details on what could be coming in the future in a few moments here. But here in the north bay, you know, some front of the first rain weve had in a while. I was in downtown santa rosa earlier talk to a few people who say that after last weeks heatwave, theyre more than happy for some wet weather. I like the cool weather better. You can always put more clothes love winter time. We live in the country and we produce our own fireworks. So thats a time for me to get outside. And when its cold like it warm chopping firewood, stocking it and hitting the home. All right. Back live now, something to keep in mind if youre going to be out driving like on 101, here through the north bay, whenever it rains and it hasnt rained in a while. Of the dirt and oil thats on the roadway out there. Asphalt concrete. Well come up with the first rain to make the roadway really slick. So keep that in mind. If youre driving around over the next couple of days, but for the not. But for now in the north bay, Charles Clifford kron, 4 news. Charles, thank you. Glad you have an umbrella ready to go. You might still need one today as we take this live look outside. And San Francisco even during robs live shot about 10 minutes ago. That was little drizzly in San Francisco will see how much longer this rain is going to last. Kyla is tracking it for us. Hey there. Yeah. So the bulk of that were going to see today. Hes kind of gone through already just a little bit drizzly. Certainly very gray. Lots of clouds out there as we take a live look at coit tower. But those spotty light showers kind of possible. Still today and into tonight. But really tomorrow afternoon, as were going to get the next hit of showers as we continue to stay unsettled in a second front, really rolling through. Heres a look at stormtracker the last few hours. You can some of this is kind of falling apart as it makes its way. And having said that, there are some sprinkles out there. Certainly theyve been along the peninsula kind of heading into the east bay. So you want to have that jacket with you just got to be ready for it. Maybe with a little umbrella because it could happen throughout the rest of our afternoon. But i think the bulk of it from ahead of this front has already gone through. Now, there is a second front behind this and that will continue to deliver a few more showers for us as we get to tomorrow afternoon. So tonight, a little bit of a break and then a few more showers ahead of the next front thats going to track through. As i mentioned, it looks like it comes in in earnest on tuesday afternoon. Let me show you futurecast. So theres a little bit of a break as we get later into the evening. Second front, as you can see approaches. So we start off tomorrow. Probably mostly dry. But then that shower rolls through in the afternoons. That could mean a little bit of a tricky commute because, of course, you can get those wet roads and notices. I roll this forward. We get some nice sunshine and sunshine and on wednesday and thursday. But theres another front thats going to be approaching us as we head towards the weekend. So bit of an active run here. Not a whole lot of rain. I was looking at some of the gauges and showing just, you know, a one 100th of an inch up in santa rosa, 3, 107 inch in places like orinda. But the big thing here is its cooling us down to temperatures. Certainly expected to stay cool today. If we look at the difference from yesterday to today, obviously were looking at, you know, 10, 15, even up to almost a 20 degree drop in some spaces. So that to me is kind of the bigger picture, although its great that were getting a little bit of rain because we are still in fire season notice that we do get that sunshine back on wednesday. Another shower chance, though, after tuesday aftern
