Well, moving on in the east bay, a nine Year Old Girl is dead after a single car crash in concord and now the search is on for the driver. The suv was heading north on interstate 680 at about five this morning, when it veered off the road and flipped over several times. Chp says several passengers werent wearing seat belts and were thrown from that car. The nine yearold died on the scene. Four other women are being treated for major injuries. Investigators say a 30 year old man who was driving ran away what a sight. Overnight traffic on the bay bridge came to a halt. A sideshow, as you can see, took over westbound i80 before Treasure Island at about 3 a. M. Crowds gathered and watched, some even setting off fireworks. Witnesses say the activity lasted about 20 minutes, and in pittsburgh, a car crashed into the goodwill store, leaving a gaping hole in the building. It happened at 1030 this morning on atlantic avenue, a goodwill representative tells abc seven. The donation side of the building was damaged, but nobody was hurt. The store stayed open and is still accepting donations. No word yet on what led up to the crash and in the south bay, where the Sheriffs Office is investigating the death of a man inside a Santa Clara County jail cell, deputies say they found the 27 year old unresponsive just after 4 00 in the morning. Cpr was administered until medics arrived. The inmate was originally booked on the suspicion of Armed Robbery and burglary. Back in october, the Sheriffs Office says he was alone in the jail cell at the time and there was no evidence of foul play. Today marks six months since the surprise attack by hamas in israel, which ushered in the war in gaza. This morning, thousands took to the streets in israel to demand the release of hostages taken that day and to protest their governments handling of the war. More than 33,000 palestinians have been killed in gaza, according to palestinian officials. Thousands more have been displaced and the u. N. Is warning of famine in the region. Getting aid in the area has been tough as well. This past monday, seven staffers from the world central kitchen were killed after the Israeli Military fired on its aid convoy. This doesnt seem a war against terror. This doesnt seem any more a war about defending israel. This really, at this point, seems its a war against humanity itself. Truce talks between hamas and israel are expected to take place in cairo this week. And today, jewish people in the bay area marked six months of war, calling it an unimaginable milestone. A group gathered for a vigil at the el overpass on highway 24 in lafayette. They say their sole focus focus is ensuring all hostages being held by hamas are not forgotten. One woman at the vigil says her brother in law is one of those hostages. I think about myself if i was in gaza, if i was in some kind of an underground tunnel, i think the only thing that would give me hope is to know that my family outside is fighting for me, fighting to bring me home. And so im doing the same thing. The group is praying that hostages will be able to celebrate passover with their families. The jewish holiday starts on april 22nd. New details now on a story we first reported yesterday. Two young boys who were reported missing have been found. They were reported missing from this area of Mountain View early saturday morning.

City Council Passed it on march 5th, and it would cap rent increases at 3 annually. But the ordinance was suddenly suspended after the city clerk received a referendum petition challenging it. Unfortunately, that has been put on hold by Real Estate Interest groups. Wealthy Real Estate Industry groups and rents keep going up. Salaries dont go up. People are struggling to buy food, medicine. Petitioners now must collect 7200 signatures to allow the referendum to move forward. The Concord City Council will then have the choice of repealing the ordinance, or placing it on the november ballot, to let the voters decide. Its been one week since part of highway one between carmel and big sur collapsed, stranding drivers and locals convoys through the area resumed yesterday for residents and essential workers. Caltrans crews are still trying to stabilize whats left of the road.

And i hope our colleagues in the legislature, both in the assembly and the senate, will see the importance of that as well. If reparations in california stops there with the apology, what will it say to the peo here in california . Id say were not serious.
