Not quite sure how many people may be in the vehicle or what happened to the driver. Were still waiting for a lot of details in this, but the bigger story beyond this is if you need to be in this area, it will be incredibly, incredibly difficult for you to get around, for you to get even to make a typical left or right turn. The officers are not only closing the main streets, but theyre also closing even streets inside the neighborhoods. So thats really, really huge for you this morning, but, yeah, were still waiting for more details. Hopefully i will have some answers for you. Were live in East San Jose for today today in the bay. The wet weather brought a giant tree crashing down on to the highway right on a car. This was the scene on highway 13 after a huge rainsoaked pine tree toppled down on all four lanes. It trapped the driver inside his car. The driver of the camaro saw the tree falling his direction and wasnt sure whether to speed up or stop. He ended up hitting the brakes and bracing for the impact. He thought that, you know, the worst was going to happen, and he thought he closed his eyes and felt he was going to suffer extreme pain from his injuries, and that wasnt the case. Hes blessed to be able to walk away from this collision today. Wow. Southbound traffic on highway 13 was slow for several hours as caltrans crews worked to clear the way. The storm also toppled a lot of trees in the north bay as well. You are looking at two of them.

Well nbc news has learned president elect donald trump has made his pick for secretary of state, and its certainly raising some eyebrows. Exxonmobil Rex Tillerson has reportedly been offered the job. Hes already drawing fire from some on both sides of the aisle for his close ties to russian president Vladimir Putin. He was exxons liaison to the kremlin and he has been awarded russias order of friendship. Theres strong reaction from both democrats and republicans. I believe that Vladimir Putin is a thug and a bully and a murderer, and i believe that the relationship between mr. Tillerson and Vladimir Putin needs to be examined. To give trump credit, he said he was going to try to surround himself with really successful people who did well and what do we find, ceos, people at the top of their protions. Tillerson has pespent the la 41 years at exxon. If confirmed he would deal with many lord leaders he met through the company but with different go else in mind. Trumps choice of tillerson is keeping russia post and center in the debate. The Washington Post is reporting the cia believes russia interfered with the election with the purpose of hurting Hillary Clinton and helping donald trump. They are believed to have leaked controversial documents from the Democratic National committee. Youre looking ahead to an early part of the Trump Presidency where russia will dominate the conversation and certainly you can expect to hear a lot of questions at this confirmation hearing. President obama has ordered the Intelligence Community to completely review allegations of russian interference in the election. That report is dubai the time trump is inaugurated. Several members of congress are also calling for a separate bipartisan investigation. A probe by the fbi though has found no clear link between russia and trumps campaign.

We are tracking more rain ahead so dont put away the umbrellas just yet. Peninsula, south bay, trivalley, all in the 40s but the low clouds that are lingering in parts of the bay area, well, they should be clearing out and making way for a little bit of sunshine today which is going to be a nice shift from what we enjoyed yesterday which i personally like, slightly overcast skies.
