This is cloud cover driven. About the same as yesterday, maybe down one or two. Sal, what do you have for us . We have a couple things, but its getting slower at the toll plaza. Well start there in the east bay so people know here we are in the 6 00 hour. And we have a robust backup at the bay bridge toll plaza. Its not all that bad but once you get on the bridge it looks okay into San Francisco. The traffic is moving bell on 880 in both directions past the coliseum. And northbound 101 near 13th on the way to the airport. Fortunately, you can use 280 or 85 as alternates. But they are in the process of moving this out of the lane. 6 01 and lets go back to the desk. Detectives are expected to be back later this morning at the scene where human remains were found near gilroy. Janine de la vega is in southern Santa Clara County with the story. And janine, what is happening out there this morning . Reporter right now not much. We havent seen too much activity right now. Deputies are standing by with crime tape. They dont want anyone entering the scene where the remains have been found. This is close to gavilan college. Sheriffs deputies are confirming that human remains were discovered at the intersection. Authorities are not told us if they belong to a male or female. They may be because they just dont know yet. The Coroners Office has not been called out to the scene. This prompted the family of a missing man by the name of videl zepeda to come out to the scene last night. We were told that there was a body found. And we are looking for my brotherinlaw. When remains are found, authorities always look at missing persons cases to see if theres a connection. And some are wondering if the remains belong to sierra lamar who disappeared in 2012. Her body has never before found. But a suspect has been charged with her murder. The mercury news reached out to her family after the remains were found but they have not been contacted by Law Enforcement and theres no indication to say that who the remains belong to. We expect that its so dark that once we start seeing daylight, investigators will reenter the scene and keep collecting evidence.

Carly fiorina and Chris Christie have ended their campaigns after disappointing results Donald Trump Holds a solid lead in South Carolina.

Olympic committee is taking athletes concerns about the zika virus seriously. Two disease specialists will talk with athletes who might qualify for the 2016 summer games in brazil.

The specialist will be advising possible olympians about the risks and precautions that can be taken to avoid being bitten by the mosquitoes that carry the zika virus. And theres a confirmed case in northern california. Federal Health Officials diagnosed a person in yolo county with the zika virus. The patient is reported to be doing okay. The infection occurred while the person traveled outside the u. S. Officials are not giving us any other information right now about the patient. Yolo county Health Officials say the public is not at risk from the case. The virus spreads by mosquitoes biting an infected person and then another individual. But the person got infected while traveling outside the united states. And we dont have any concerns about that happening in yolo county or sacramento. Many people who have the zika virus will experience mild symptoms or no symptoms at all. But it can cause serious birth defects in babies whose mothers get the virus while theyre pregnant. If you think bart is crowded now. Just wait. Its being asked to build another tube before it reaches maximum capacity. The policy says if a second tube is not build. Bart may exceed capacity by 2024. A second transbay tube would help them handle the maximum amount of daily morning riders. If a new tube is approved. The planning and construction could take 10 years. Time is 6 12.
