[ indiscernible ] >> where's the fire. i go outside. big fire. i call 911 right away. >> reporter: you were running for your life! >> of course. me and my wife and, um, we run away. so the police

the area in a month. back on january 28, over on 22nd and -- in the mission street, a four-alarm fire destroyed a large complex sending about 50 people homeless and again the nearby mission district. back live, you can see still a very active scene. police have closed the area to traffic. firefighters are watching for hot spots. they are investigating the cause of the fire. kpix 5's da lin kpix 5. another developing story demanding attention of emergency crews. san francisco police and fire crews are dealing with a sinkhole at franklin and grove streets in the civic center neighborhood. it started as a water main break. two pedestrians have been hit one seriously injured. it happened in the area of mount vista drive and south white road early this afternoon. kpix 5's christian hartnett is there to tell us how it happened. >> reporter: s scary scene out here this afternoon. and right now, police still have an entire block of white road closed where the accident happened. this man went on a drunken rampage on the road according to police, after pulling out of a parking lot down white road. now, after he pulled out of that parking lot, he flung wide according to police and hit -- clipped a car that was traveling in the opposite direction down white road. after that, the driver did not stop. kept going for another few hundred yards. and then at that point hopped the curb and plowed into a fruit stand that was on the sidewalk. a couple of people were hit. one woman and one man. police say that the woman had less severe injuries and the man has life-threatening injuries. both of those two were taken to the hospital. the driver then hit a fence in fronts of a house and kept going and finally stopped as he hit a parked car. now, police did arrest him for driving under the influence. police say it was clear that this man was severely drunk. >> he was driving erratic. obviously, the vehicle, the first vehicle he hit, was probably, you know, four, five hundred yards from the second scene. so all indication is that he was potentially fleeing from the first accident when he had the second accident. >> reporter: this man again was arrested for driving under the influence. he was transported to the hospital for some minor injuries but he is okay according to police. now, as i mentioned earlier, this block here whole block of white road where it hit mount vista drive is blocked off. police say that they are going to continue their investigation. should be blocked off for another three hours. so avoid this area if you can. live in san jose, christian

street at 32nd and san pablo yesterday. one of them died. the other is said to be in critical condition. police think the speeding car was probably involved in a street race. right now we're just about 30 minutes away from history at levi's stadium. the sharks are about to play the los angeles kings in what will be the first hockey game at the stadium. the team got in a workout yesterday and tested the ice. it looks and feels more like a 49ers game in the parking lot right now. we found lots of fans tailgating with barbecues going and playing street hockey. it's not often you can enjoy a hockey game outside in february with weather that feels more like spring. fans are certainly digging the once in a lifetime opportunity. >> i think it's awesome. it's cool for the bay area. it's cool for california hockey. it's awesome. >> this game is sold out. about 70,000 fans are expected to fill levi's stadium. this is actually the second outdoor hockey game to be played in california. the

tonight. this means cargo will start getting loaded and unloaded again. but it could be a while before things are close to normal. many ships have been sitting on the water near the port of oakland waiting for the dispute to end. it could take two months to get things back on track. >> the ship containers, the truck trailers that carry the containers, none of them are where they need to be. reneed to restore that balance of assets before we really get back to normal. >> the contract needs to be ratified. during christian hartnett's story out of san jose that somebody yelled a profanity

we'll air it live on kbcw and stream it on kpix.com. still ahead, a lot of people expecting ice tonight. at least at levi's stadium. expecting snow in the mountains. we have a changing forecast coming up. after the break. a maryland man is taking the rough winter in stride. he turned a toilet into a snowplow. david goldberg says why not? people are attracted to toilets. he built the contraption on his own. he owns a hardware store and has use a toilet in the past as a centerpiece of a parade float. >> just when you think you've seen it all. we're heading out live tonight to santa clara and levi's stadium where 70,000 people are on hand to watch the sharks take on the los angeles kings tonight. and i'm coming dangerously close to doing sports so let's switch gears and show you the current temperature: partly cloudy skies at the coast. mostly clear inland. a little bit breezy tonight so that by 8:00 we'll be into the 50s bay wide. a little chilly overnight and out the door tomorrow morning, it's not exactly a heat wa it would be to the east coast. mid-40s inland. bay about 50 degrees almost and the coast around that neighborhood, as well. low pressure this little rowing low that's spinning abeam point conception is going to spin over the state later in the day tomorrow. that's going to increase the winds with high pressure up in the pacific northwest and that low pressure around santa barbara we are going to get a couple of things. winds pick up so it will be breezy and cooler. temperatures come down a bit and it's not the only thing that might come down. there's the potential maybe for a little bit of rain a few showers over the santa cruz mountains tomorrow and tomorrow afternoon. even a thunderstorm in san benito and monterey counties. doesn't look as if that showery activity is going to work its way into the central bay area. but you never know! so stay tuned on that. at any rate it's going to be windy. look at the futurecast. these are wind gusts by 11:00 tonight. you can see this wind field spreading out of the north and as we continue to roll it on, 3 a.m. winds in santa rosa with gusts up to 20 miles an hour by tomorrow afternoon. so north bay especially gets some winds but baywide it will be breezier and cooler than it was today. so consider yourself warned. futurecast shows that we have low clouds along the shoreline. notice the green -- the green blotches basically showing you where it could dump a shower or two. and some of that from san juan capistrano south of the bay area. so if you are heading south it might get a little showery and there's also a possibility of a thunderstorm. so coastal clouds advance tonight. windy and chilly for tomorrow and a small chance for some showers mostly south. by the way that low pressure is going to trigger the potential for shower or two in the mountains. snow shower. overnight lows tonight mostly in the 40s. yosemite or south lake tahoe rain mixed with snow by tomorrow evening. and forecast for the bay area, it will be windy in san jose partly cloudy skies. 67 degrees. 66 in the city. up in the north bay, mid-60s will do it. and gusty winds to the 30-mile- an-hour range. five-day forecast sunshine tuesday, wednesday, partly cloudy skies between now and then. then toward the weekend we are going to get partly cloudy skies no real rain in sight for much of the bay area. just this nasty wind. vern has sports next. hello! i'm a kid. and us kids have an important message for our grown ups. three grams daily of beta-glucan... a soluable fiber from whole grain oat foods like cheerios can help lower cholesterol. and where can you find beta-glucan? in oats. and, they're yummy! i'm going back to being a kid now. thank you! the weather and sports converge with hockey? you both are in heaven, aren't you? >> absolutely. you know what? when you go to sell your property, you have an open house, right? you want it to show well. this game tonight for the venue that it is, it's for a national audience. you want it to show well. so here comes the nhl with this whole stadium series 70,000 people expected. >> wow. >> for this thing for the sharks and the l.a. kings. man! i'm kind of tingling a little bit because it's just moments away! the sharks not your average home game, ha ha, no shark tank tonight. not big enough for 70 grand. and a 7 p.m. skate with the l.a. kings. this is the stadium series, folks. at levis, league has been having outdoor hockey since 2003. look at the conversion from football to hockey. 48 hours, 20,000 gallons of recycled water. to get this table set for sharks and the l.a. kings. now, the gap is just two points between them. both are vying for a play-off spot. if the season ended today the sharks would be in and the kings would be out. but they are so close! that's what makes this huge. they are going to be wearing eye black for the glare of the sun and the stadium lights. >> it's the warmest skate you have had with full gear on? >> absolutely. i think when you go through something like that you see the coaches sweating from running the practice, that says it all. >> you can tell it was hot out there. you know, it's, um, definitely going to be kind of a chip and chase game. the ice probably won't be as good as it is in a normal rink but i think everyone will be excited so, you know, it will be a good experience and, you know, i'm sure everyone's, um, adrenaline will be pumping. we have a little basketball for you. stanford hosting cal. oh, my! travis for the score. stanford is in charge. for the first half, here's cal winding down trying to cut it to single digits. waved off at first but then they counted it. here came anthony brown. beautiful bucket. a seesaw game. dwight for three for stanford and they are still within striking range but too many stanford down the stretch. michael humphrey with a splash. stanford beats cal 67-57. still with basketball, somewhere in this huddle is rex walter the head coach at usf. at pepperdine, and tim dirksen likes to hit from the corner. the dons are rolling. pepperdine, look at them extend the defense, extend it, extend it, and then jet raines says pass it to me it's an easy bucket. dirksen says here's my back, climb on, i'll carry you through. it's the layup. he scored 19 for the dons. one last-ditch effort for pepperdine. half court launch, no, no, no, the dons won 56-54. dons have beaten the waves seven straight times the third straight win overall for san francisco. we show you duke because, well, our producers fell in love with them they are hosting clemson. here's a ridiculous shot for cook! hit, let it go and somehow, it went in! at clemson they gave it the old college try. dante grantham hit in the second half. no closer than 10. fourth ranked duke all the way. i better get a call from the duke bay area alumni chapter because we are giving them love. jones takes them out. number 4 duke rolling 78-56. slow it down for the sierra country club los angeles third round of the northern trust open. retief goosen, lost it. the short cane rolling right into the cup. he has a two-shot lead over grant. he had the putter working. four tied at 5-under par. but let's make no mistake. just a few minutes from now, that puck is going to drop and already, i mean, people are just screaming as both teams enter the ice. this is really lights, camera, you know, action! >> what a great fan experience. >> is that stadium really conducive to watching a hockey game? is every seat a good seat? >> it looked like a little -- guess depends where you sit. it could look like ants on the ice but they have those huge jumbotrons so you can follow the action. the nhl, they have thought of everything. they are going to make it so user-friendly. this is the 19th time they had the stadium since they have been doing it since 2003. 19th game outdoors. >> it will be a good fan experience. >> i think so, yeah. >> well, check this out. this is a good day for a swim. delet 1400 people gathered for polar plunge to benefit the special olympics. they were in costumes, large groups jumping in the water like this group of girls from
