Heres sal. I want to mention we have a mod morning commute that is very slow on some parts of the east bay. Westbound 80 from the carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze, already 32 minutes getting between those two points. Most of that slow traffic is up near the carquinez bridge. The traffic has been slow in marin county because of an earlier crash at southbound 101 near sir francis break and a crack report in val, but i will tell you vallejo but i will tell you, traffic is slow approaching the scene. 580 westbound is an absolute mess from 205 to 580, 680. Thats taking a very long time, more than an hour here. Lets go to the bay bridge toll plaza, as we mentioned, the traffic is backing up here for about a 25 to 30minute delay as you drive through. There are no major problems as you get through. 7 03. Back to actually were talking about the sick out. Its make as mess of the morning commute. Twitter comments, hundreds of drivers have called in sick. We just learned an entire system of buses and trains is only at 33 capacity right now. Tara moriarty has been covering this since 3 30. Tara, what do you see out there . Reporter well, you know, the muni spokesperson told us that there are 400 runs of the 600 that are not being made this morning. Thats a pretty dire situation. People have already been complaining on social media saying that they are experiencing more than han hour wait time. This is the bus yard. You can see where the lot is still pretty backed full of buses. Riders should expect significant delays. The muni spokespersonperson said he doesnt have the exact number of people who called in sick but we do know its in the hundreds. The reason for the mass sick call, operators and mechanics are angry about a contract dispute. They worked on a contingency plan all weekend, hiring drivers on stand by, but right now the situation doesnt look good. Right now were focused on putting two cars on the kt lane and j lane. All local express. Were working as best we can to balance everything out. Reporter word of a possible sick out came on friday. The day they began to work on a new contract. It offers raises but makes workers take over their own pensions. If you depend on this system, plan on getting to work to another way. Were live in San Francisco, im Tara Moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. Thank you, tara. As tara mentioned, the sick out is tied to munis latest contract. If ratified, workers would get paid about 32 but would take over a 7. 75 pension currently paid for by the city. Muni workers are City Employees and unlike b. A. R. T. Work, they are not allowed to workers, they are not allowed to stage an official strike. We continue to follow another developing commute. This one in vallejo where one person is dead after the driver of a box truck fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into a tree. Alex savidge is at the scene where cleanup efforts are causing a major backup. Reporter good morning to you. It could be another couple hours before they can clear the crash. Thats what the chp it telling us. This has led to a major backup. This is the cleanup effort going on on the side of the road, tow trucks are here. Right now we have a Hazardous Materials team out here dealing with some of the spilled fuel from the box truck that sloomed into a couple of trees along redwood parkway. None of the freeway are blocked but this is causing a muge distraction for drive huge distraction for drivers as they pass by. This is westbound 80 through vallejo this morning. This crash happened just after 3 00 and the back of this truck was split apart. The driver told the chp he fell asleep behind the wheel and drifted off the road. The passenger in that truck was thrown from the cab and killed. The chp says that man was not wearing a seat belt at the time. Part of whats complicating the cleanup is the fact that this truck was leaking diesel fuel and this Hazardous Materials team has had to come out and deal with the spill. The traffic is backed up in a major way and the chp is warning drivers to be ready for delays. As you are coming down the hill into vallejo, keep your heads up for traffic slowing down as you are coming down the hill. Weve activated these to make sure you keep your eyes on the road. Reporter this truck was coming from the sacramento area and was headed into the bay area to deliver some mattresses this morning when this accident took place. And in order to tow this truck out of here, its possible that the chp and the Tow Truck Companies that are out here will have to close at least one lane of westbound 80 to allow those tow trucks some room to maneuver and pull this truck out of the area where it is along the side of the freeway. They may have to close some lanes at some point this morning. That could make a bad situation worse in vallejo. Alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. Thank you. A man is facing dow charges after a Chain Reaction crash in san jose early this morning. Just after 3 00 a. M. , two cars crashed taking out a light pole. The driver was arrested and police say they expect he was under the influence of drugs. After that crash, a truck and another car hit and another car rear ended a van. One person was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. A nationwide search continues this morning for a San Francisco man after an fbi raid turned up explosives in his apartment.

On saturday, people near jackson and polk saw agents, some in hazmat suits all throughout the day and late into the night.

And critics are speaking out against the Obama Administrations decision to release five guantanamo detainees in exchange for bowe bergdahl, a captive u. S. Soldier. Kyla campbell is live in our washington, d. C. Bureau with why one california senator supports the deal. Reporter i reached out to the staff for california dianne feinstein, she chairs the intelligence committee. They tell me this morning that feinstein supports the president s decision particularly in light of sergeant bergdahls reportedly declining health. Thats why the Obama Administration said it did not give congress the mandatory 30 day warning about the swap. He had lost a good bit of weight. We were very concerned that time was not something we could play with. We needed to act when we had the opportunity. Thats what we did. Reporter its unclear how bergdahl ended up in enemy hands. But his peers say he deserted his platoon in 2009. Fellow troops say a lot of lives were risked trying to get him back as a p. O. W. Chuck hagel did not talk about any possible military action against bergdahl.

Bowe bergdahls parents have not yet spoken with their son but they do have a message for him. Bowe, youre not left behind. I told you you wouldnt be left behind. But that wasnt easy. Im so looking forward to seeing your face after these last five and a half years, long, long years and giving you a great big bear hug. Bergdahls home town of haley, idaho is celebrating his release. The town is decorated in ribbons. 7 18. Its all a question of supply and demand. Right now, the bay area has the tightest Housing Market in the nation. The San Jose Mercury news reports the last time the market had such a slow supply of homes was more than 20 years ago. Many homeowners say they are waiting until their homes recover value before they sell. Others say they are afraid if they sell they wont be able to find another home because of the message. Trulia reports the east bay has the tightest supply followed by the south bay and the peninsula. Ed lee is looking to pour 94 million into constructing affordable how longs in the city. Its part of the mayee artwo Year Spending money. Over the same time period, the mayor also proposes hiring nearly 1400 City Employees, 150 Public Health staff and at least 196 muni workers.
