francisco bay. welcome to the 9. i love my sports and i love my high school sports especially. >> yes. >> it was an honor to watch harris who went to antioch high school. >> that's right. >> followed him during his four years through the chronicle and all of the great write-ups. he gets the ball in the 4th quarter and goes for 64 yards on six carries. again, all in the 4th quarter. kind of his coming out party. along with a couple other freshman that played in this ball game last night. >> don't forget the quarterback. >> yeah the quarterback out of hawaii. nick is probably kicking himself for letting that one go beyond state lines. proud of and happy for harris. his coming out party. congratulations to him. it is fun to see on a national stage like that someone from the bay area succeed. >> right. and the national spotlight wasn't too big a moment for him. he did well. >> he did great. you know what is going on tonight in san francisco, speaking of high school sports. >> it is the bruce mahoney game at usf. >> i have no idea. >> we will talk about that later. let's talk about the storm. well, the storm got messy today. actually deadly. 880 in milpitas is back open after a wrong-way crash. >> for hours this morning, several lanes were shut down because of the terrible accident. >> alex savidge was there shortly after the accident happened and he is here to tell us what happened. >> reporter: well, good morning to all of you. really this had to be frightening for the drivers who survived this wrong-way crash. they had just seconds to veer out of the way of this minivan barreling towards them, going in the wrong direction on the freeway. and ultimately the driver of that minivan did crash into four other cars. and the driver of that van died as a result of the crash. it happened in the southbound lanes of 880 in this area right as you approach highway 237 in milpitas. the crash has been cleared out of the way. you do have slow traffic this morning in the area. this is what the scene looked like before 5:00, when the driver of a dark green minivan was spotted going northbound in the southbound lanes of 880. there were a couple of 911 calls that came in. and shortly after that, this minute evan slammed into four other cars. the man driving that van suffered critical injuries and ultimately died at the hospital early this morning. the chp says he was a 52-year- old man from oakland. now, one person in one of those other cars was treated for minor injuries. but that's it. everyone else walked away from this crash. a chp officer here at the scene says it is truly amazing more people weren't seriously hurt. >> obviously any loss of life and injury is tragic. but given the terrible road conditions that we had last night and poor visibility, it definitely could be a lot worse. but, you know, any loss of life is horrible. is horrible. >> reporter: and so now the chp is trying to figure out why the wrong-way driver got on to the freeway in the opposite direction. and of course part of this investigation will focus on whether the driver of that van, who, again, died from his injuries, may have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol. that will be determined through toxicology tests. now, this major crash initially shut down the three left lanes of southbound 880, approaching highway 237. and there were several miles worth of backup as a result of this investigation. but, again, that crash scene has been cleared out of the way. all of the lanes of southbound 880 are now back open to traffic here in milpitas. >> alex savidge, thank you. there have been a number of incidences as a result of the rain. it wasn't as bad of a commute as yesterday but there were a bunch of things that slowed down the commute. the towned tree on the left in muni in san francisco, that's a muni bus that almost hit a tree. a downed tree north of castleview road in pleasanton. a person hit a tree during a police per suit. he ran away. they know who the person is. just east of redwood road in castro valley. and in concord, a car lost control on interstate 680 and went off the road. the tree thai mentioned on pacific avenue in front of a muni bus, no passengers were removed from the bus. but it was not very good commute. it wasn't as bad as yesterday, but whenever there is any wetness on the road, we really have a tough time. and steve says that rain maybe almost gone. right, steve. >> just about. but it's been a long time since we had that, sal. >> yesterday it didn't stop raining. >> so there is still a little bit. most of it is gone. a lot of fog still around. that will be an issue later tonight and into tomorrow. another system coming in thursday looks much weaker but will produce light rain north of the golden gate bridge. that won't be until thursday. eye-popping numbers coming in. marin county, russian river and santa cruz mountains were close here. five for some. soquel had four and a half. mill valley, four and a third. sausalito had five inches of rain. san francisco, that is a storm total, 3.46. napa over two inches of rain. san jose, 1.70. the most i saw was occidental at six and a quarter. that is since sunday night. cazadero was not far away. san anselmo, 4.26, 24 hours. but 5.64 for a total. alameda almost three and a half. santa cruz, 4.3. all good rain. montero and half moon bay. into lake county and parts of bodega bay. santa rosa not completely done. look at this cell kind of hanging out over the altamont pass. it is weakening but it is still there. can't make a eastern move. still producing cloud cover and some rain. we are about done. some in the santa cruz mountains. look at that moving towards san martine and hollister. that is big time. 50s on the temps. kind of on the mild side. there is a northerly breeze which should eventually take care of things. it is a mess down towards santa barbara. i have seen three to four-inch totals and also into l.a. 101 at montecito is closed because of rain. more rain on the way from that low which is now diving towards them and moving out of our area. 50s and 60s. sometimes you say let's bring in another system. it is best after all of the fires in september, october, and november that we get a break. we will now except for a little bit of rain on thursday. >> thank you, steve. >> you're welcome. today at noon, the raiders welcome back a familiar face. glued enbegan his career with the 49ers in 1990. he became head coach of the raiders from '98 to 2001. then he was traded to the buccaneers and he won a super

he was gone. this is finally the year and finally the day that he is coming back to coaching. so this is a pretty big deal. i think fixing derek carr. he took a big step back last year. have interacted before. >> defensive coordinator maybe. that last one, downing, don't do well. >> it looks like greg olson and coming back and carr has familiarity with him. gruden will be calling the plays. derek carr, he is the biggest name quarterback that gruden has ever gotten. he had a journeyman quarterback and he turned him into an mvp candidate, a pro bowler. he was in his late 30s. i think that was one of the big allures for gruden to come back. derek carr. and we actually have a snippet of the two together at the quarterback camp back in 2014. just to see a little preview of how these two, the chemistry between the two. >> you're 6'3", 220 pounds. you have a great pedigree with your brother. >> yes. >> you played all of the calls in college. what is wrong with all of the reading that i have done? i don't see your name up here in the mock drafts? is there something that i'm missing? >> no, sir. >> is there a flaw? a dramatic flaw? >> no, sir. >> now, i want you. >> right. >> what do you say about that. >> i appreciate that. let's go win some championships now. >> let's win some championships now. that is music to raiders fans ears i'm sure. gruden is a guy -- when he was coaching before, a high-energy guy. we have always seen the snippets of him in your face. >> a yeller. >> yeah. will that work now? >> i think that is a great question. that will be one of the questions at the press conference. can his style work with the modern day player. a veteran team. will mac respond to it? that is gruden's style. he commands the room. he demands and expects perfection out of his players. he is a workaholic. at least he was. another question is, can he sort of -- after being out of coaching for so long, can he respond to the demands and rigors of coaching? he's only been working a couple of days a week at espn. >> the raiders announced him. did they ever interview a minority candidate because of the rooney rule. >> the report is that they interviewed t martin. they always wanted john gruden. they make a mockery out of that rule. i want to play one more anybodyet for you. here is gruden with a quarterback, another second round pick, chris sims when he coached the bucs. here is what we can expect out of his coaching style. >> that is green right x. shift to viper right. three to two. looky on one. >> scattered west right tight. left. left. >> there we go. scattered to -- >> west bright tight. >> west bright tight. 382. >> 372. >> break. >> christ. am i making you nervous? >> i just couldn't spit it out. >> good luck derek carr. >> yeah. nerve racking. i can count on one hand the number of coaches that have been with their teams for ten years. he has a 10-year contract. >> $100 million. >> by the end of the contract -- all of the coaches are celebrating this contract saying if he got $100 million. >> the rising tide. >> that's a lot of money. >> he will move on to vegas with them. beyond a couple years in vegas, i wouldn't -- >> this is a coaching decision or a marketing decision or both. >> i think it is both. i think they needed to change the narratives, the raiders did real recoming off of a six-win season and moving to las vegas. the ratings for the final game was a third what was the 49ers got. this is a big splash and a big hire. it will change the narrative here in oakland and moving to las vegas.

francisco for alliance is planning to have a rally in front of san francisco city hall. they argue the only way to have a fair mayoral special election in june is to make sure there is no incumbent. they would like the board of supervisors to appoint an interim caretaker mayor that would serve for six months and then step down. london breed is the current acting mayor right now. she became the acting mayor about a month ago when the late mayor ed lee died in office. when a mayor passes away in the middle of the term, the board of supervisors president becomes the mayor. unless the board of supervisors then takes action to appoint an interim caretaker mayor which they can do. that mayor would pledge not to run in the special election on june 5th, which would mean there would be no incumbent heading into the special election. the board of supervisors is meeting for the first time since mayor ed lee died. the process is not on the agenda but it is expect today come up as a topic of discussion. >> there will be discussion about when is the next meeting. what are the procedures and what does it look like. >> reporter: there are at least six candidates including london breed, who are planning to run. mark leno as well and former supervisor angela aliota. the person who wins will serve out the term through january 2020. city has been in this situation, a similar situation. back in 2011, ed lee was appointed to be a caretaker mayor at the time. at the time he pledged not to run in the special election but he went back on that promise and ran and became mayor for the next several years. supervisor ferrell says there is no chance of that same scenario playing out again this time because if the board of supervisors go ahead and decide to appoint a caretaker mayor, they will have done so after today's filing deadline. so even if that caretaker mayor decided to go back on their pledge and run, he or she would not be able to because the deadline would have already passed. in san francisco, allie rasmus, ktvu fox 2 news. we have some developing news from contra costa county. there has been an accident involving a school bus in el sobrante. a truck collided with

broken into. compare that to 2012 when there were 13,000 break-ins. more than double. >> in 70% of the cases, property was visible when cars were broken into. >> reporter: sfpd has been ramping up the park smart campaign, urging people not to leave valuables in the cars. many have blamed the crime uptick on prop 47 that recategorized nonviolent crimes as misdemeanors making it easier for serial burglars to rio fend without penalty. that's why they say the course, probation and the district attorney's office need to work more hand in hand with police. >> we can't control what happens in the courts and at the district attorney level. we can control giving them the best case that we can give them. >> reporter: police and city officials are curious to look at the property crime stats six months from now. only then will they be able to see if the strategies have had an impact. in san francisco, tara moriarty, ktvu fox 2 news. last night president trump signed a bill to make the birth

of the cool technologies filter down to the less expensive devices so everyone can benefit it. if you think about it, instead of buying a google home speaker, it is built into the tv as well. there is an added value proposition in other words. that portable memory i was telling you about only starts at $129. it won't -- it won't be too expensive to protect your information, even outside in the elements. >> right. >> reporter: that is something that i like, as someone who travels a lot. >> people are backing their stuff up to the cloud. this is a way to have it at home. does that have an option to also send things to the cloud as another backup? >> reporter: so you can from your computer decide to upload from the cloud. that has its benefits because it is off-site protection. this can store up to 2 terabytes of storage. it would take a lot of time and money to back up 2 terabytes of data. but you can slip this into your jeans and store it for you. you don't need the internet. there are pros and cons for cloud storage. as a technology reviewer, i tell to you hedge your bets. do both. you don't know if you have high speed connectivity or want something off-site. this protects it from the elements. think about all of the states this year -- this past year that suffered from hurricanes and flooding. those businesses and consumers that didn't back up the files off-site were in trouble because the water damaged their computers and they didn't have backup. even if they had a backup but it was in the same room as the computer, they were in trouble. this does withstand water as well. it is shock proof. >> okay. >> reporter: if we have time, sal. we have to wrap. >> we can leave it there. mark, i know there are a lot of cool things. don't have too much fun. and thank you for joining us this morning. >> reporter: pleasure. thank you, sal. >> starting saturday, the harlem globetrotters will play 7 games over two weekends in san jose and oakland. this morning they are at an
