This is 880 in oakland. Getting slow in both directions. This is right around high street. However, it was double dose of misery for drivers trying to get to work today. Let me show you on the left a sea of red taillights across the bay bridge during the morning commute. A massive spill brought traffic to a near standstill on the right there an overturned box truck crushes the pickup creating another huge backup. That crash at the macarthur maze involved a dozen vehicles. The truck flipped on the pickup about 9 30 this morning. This was on the northbound 880 connector to the westbound lanes of the bay bridge. One person was trapped in the wreckage and had to be rescued. As bad as it looked, chp says there were only minor injuries. Before that, more than 30 gallons of paint and epoxy fell off a flatbed truck on the skyway in San Francisco. Four lanes shut down about 4 a. M. That caused a monumental traffic backup on the bridge. Cars being directed off the bay bridge at fremont street. There were reports it was taking people as long as two hours to get across the bridge.

When the man woke up, he was able to walk the near half mile to the Bayview Police station. The victim had a brain bleed, fractured skull, ribs, a punctured lung. We dont know the motive.

President obama also listed accomplishments including the Climate Change agreement, cuba relations and the Iran Nuclear Deal then talked about the difficulty in detecting terroristic threats including the attack in San Bernardino. In his final scheduled press conference of the year, president obama says he will be anything but a lame duck in his final year in office. In 2016 im going to leave it out all on the field. Reporter he defended his administrations strategy against isis saying the group will be defeated. We are going to do so by systematically squeezing them, cutting off their supply lines, cutting off their financing, taking out their leadership, taking out their forces, taking out their infrastructure. Reporter but even the president admits isisinspired lone wolf attacks like the one in San Bernardino that killed 14 people are tougher to detect.

Craig, i want to ask you the latest tonight involving the Bernie Sanders president ial campaign and hillary clinton. Reporter right. All of this before tomorrow nights democratic debate. The final one of the year. Bernie sanders has now sued the Democratic National committee for shutting off its access to voter access files to voter files that the dnc rents out to campaigns. What happens is, at the dnc system, a firewall came down. Someone with Bernie Sanders campaign accessed confidential voter information of the clinton campaign. The Sanders Campaign has fired that staffer says nothing came of that information. And also says that this has happened before at the dn. The dnc says it wont allow the Sanders Campaign any access until fully investigated all of this before tomorrow nights debate. Going to make it interesting. All right, Craig Boswell in dc, thank you. Have a great night. Well, we have new developments tonight on a story you first saw in this newscast. How students and parents are protesting a bay area schools decision to cancel an annual field trip to visit santa. Then home surveillance cameras with microphones catch a ual crook who breaks into a home a casual crook who breaks in a home while talking on the cell phone the entire time. Well hear it. ,,,, much so. A school field tp to meet santa was canceled. He is the most popular man in december but one parent disagree. So much so a school trip to meet santa was canceled. Kpix 5s keit do shows us today students walked out in protest. Reporter you are witnessing a 10yearold tradition at Sartorette Elementary School a walking field trip to go see santa that has officially been canceled. Its just a shame that its come down to this. Reporter and yet a dozen or so parents pulled their kids out of kindergarten today and went anyway, a walkout a protest to the school district. I just want to show that the district the district more than anything else, keep these things that are important for us. Reporter it all began earlier this month when a jewish mother complained to the district about the santa field trip. It is not an approach. Activity in a public school. It is completely [ indiscernible ] for families to do on their own time and if these parents want to take their kids to see santa on their own time, thats great. Reporter in fact, talia showed us these photos from yesterday of an activity that she helped organize that featured holiday celebrations from different cultures. But she takes issue with Something Like this, a School Activity that makes kids draw reindeer on red and green paper. And that sends a message to kids who do not practice christianity that im not as american as my peers. Reporter it was a packed house at the School Board Meeting last night. Parents are asking why the board acted so swiftly to cancel this long tradition without a public discussion. We need to find out the truth. We need to know what happened and what the board did to allow this to happen so quickly based on one woman. Reporter and that is the parents main complaint with the administration, whats the process that you have to go through when someone complains so that they dont have to go through this pain again. We left a message with the superintendent early this morning, no response. Kiet do, kpix 5. A bold burglar caught on camera.

Now, we have seen a lot of these videos lately but kpix 5s Frank Mallicoat shows us this is different. Not only do we see the burglar in action; we hear him. [ bark ] reporter a little dog barks but the guy doesnt seem to care. He goes over to the front door and sounds like he is talking to his buddies outside.

[ cursing ] reporter he seems determined to find something specific. His buddies outside meanwhile apparently are encouraging him not to give up. [ more talking ] reporter he does keep looking walking over peering between the sofa and the chair, not finding it he goes back into the bedroom, crouches down, and then he looks like he is rifling through a dresser or cabinet until eventually [ inaudible ] reporter he calls it quits. And leaves with the tote bag. And here he is. Looks like he is in his 20s and if you know him, give San Jose Police a call. In the newsroom, Frank Mallicoat, kpix 5.

But when he was set to undergo surgery, he sat up and was declared symptom free the next day. The church says the mans wife had prayed to mother teresa. Wow. All right yes. Rainfall, we have some in the forecast. Steady but not constant. No one event will cause widespread flooding. Not the case. We are not going to see flooding rainfall. That said, there are four different weather systems that will get here between now and christmas that will give us a quarter inch to half inch at a minimum. Heres how precise hidef Doppler Radar is. You get south of the golden gate bridge, basically right over crissy field, it is raining. But you head down lombard street and when you get about 10 blocks east, no rain. No rain in brisbane. Rain in daly city but not the sunset district so its not just raining in San Francisco. We can see specifically the cells over the city right now. It is raining in orinda and right over the caldecott tunnel. It is raining in berkeley and richmond, but not yet for downtown oakland, lake merritt, youre dry and not yet for walnut creek just minutes away. And there it is. There is the steady stuff that will be moving into San Francisco and oakland over the next couple of hours. Currently it is in napa county, solano county, Sonoma County, and marin county. And its just coming down in novato, petaluma, san anselmo, mill valley, fairfax. Its raining steadily and its coming south. We are soggy at the golden gate mainly cloudy 58 degrees there. Santa rose soggy today 52. Still waiting for the rain. Its going to be a couple more hours, san jose, before you get it, 58 degrees with cloudy skies there. The pattern that is developing now is a pattern that we will continue to talk about from now until christmas for the next week. This huge pool of cold and unstable air here will fire wave after wave of rainfall in our direction giving us several rain chances over the next several days. The first of which is whats moving through right now. So we are going to stay unstable for a while. But the steadiest rainfall that we may see over the next several days is whats outside now. Lets time it out. 10 00 tonight its concord, walnut creek and martinez with some steady rainfall. San jose it will be raining for you at 10 00 and 11 00 clock tonight. Even some scattered showers throughout the morning tomorrow but then we get a break saturday afternoon, were dry. Dry all the way until sunday morning. But look at what quickly moves in sunday morning. The next round of rainfall. And by sunday afternoon, critical if youre a football fan, 9ers home. The raiders are at home. And now the forecast has changed. The rain will likely get here early enough to have a soggy Football Game in both santa clara and oakland at o. Co comes. Next week, unstable coliseum. Next week unstable air from the gulf of alaska. We will have an additional inch of rainfall in the bay area, no flooding but another series of soakers. Just to the north we are talking five inches of rainfall from Mendocino County and point north. So the flooding stuff stays away. But the steady soaking rain will arrive. So its not going to rain all weekend long. If you want to time it out over the weekend it will be wet tomorrow morning. It will be wet sunday afternoon. But tomorrow night will actually be quite dry when you wake up sunday dry, as well. Highs tomorrow 50s. Napa 53. Fremont 56. San jose 57. Extended forecast looks very ominous because, yes, five days of the next seven chance of rain but no one day will be a starttofinish washout and no one storm looks like its going to be flooding. So this right there is awesome. Thats the bestcase scenario. Is that santa . And santa claus that makes the forecast even more awesome. Does he have an umbrella . You know, rudolph may need some type of hightech get through the rain gear to make sure he makes it here on time Christmas Morning which he will. Google is probably inventing it right now.
