getting into san francisco. the metering lights are on but there is a little delay. about a five minute wait at the toll plaza. about a ten minute drive on the bridge get into san francisco. about a 15 minute drive. nothing out of the ordinary. also looking at interstate 880 in oakland the traffic looks good in both directions. i should mention vanness avenue is at broadway. we are just about to go to a live report. also 580 westbound as you drive up to livermore a little bit of slow traffic coming up on into the dublin area. it is 6:02 let's go back to the desk. back to that developing new

accidents including three on vanness avenue. tara moriarty is out there this morning with what investigators are telling us so far about the crash and hopefully when the road will reopen. tara. >> reporter: yeah i think that might be momentarily. we are told by one officer that it would be safe to say that this driver was going at least 55 miles an hour. so very fast along this stretch. you can see on the right here fire crews just arrived and hosed downth area. it should be a couple minutes before we have everything open. officers were taking a lot of measurements. they were trying to figure out exactly where the pedestrian was struck and killed by the silver car. this is the fourth deadly crash involving a pedestrian since the new year and third one on vanness. police say at 1:00 this morning the driver of a silver compact hit a man. not sure if he was in a crosswalk. you can see the force of the impact. it must be pretty great. the roof of the car sustained heavy damage. it is possible the driver carried the victim on his hood for a block before stopping. it would appear the driver was speeding. we know he was transported to sf general within a half hour of arriving. those units have not returned to the station yet. as far as getting arrested, we are trying to confirm that right now. we are told he will face a misdemeanor. a month ago just down the street from here a 38-year-old man was struck and killed by a driver after he ran into the street crossing several lanes of traffic following an argument. and then last week an elderly man was struck and killed on sunset boulevard by an elderly woman. and the next morning another person hit and killed. we spoke to the police chief about it last week. he said his officers have been cracking down on issuing
