hospital. their condition is unclear here. and check out this freeway on ramp underwater in oakland. and we also spotted potholes on 680 in pacheco slowing traffic causing at least one flat tire. as you see there, the chp quickly coned off the area before more cars could be damaged. in walnut creek, it was all about preparing for the worst sandbag stations are open, ready for customers. >> we have sand and sandbags at all these stations and if you are uh- in an area that needs sandbags now is the time to get them, he says. >> the rainy season has been relatively slow so far. nothing like last year when dump trucks unloaded nearly 225,000 pounds of sand in a single day. >> all right, let's take you to the north bay now, where downpours caused some big concerns and headaches for drivers and homeowners alike. abc seven news reporter suzanne fawn is live in marin county with a look at the weather challenges folks are facing there. suzanne >> so, dan, we are in green bay tonight. there is a break in the wet weather, but all around me, directly behind me, clear signs of the recentrillionain. adrian quijano has to be extra careful that his shoes and socks don't

driving, uh, again, i think this is early innings, but but encouraging. >> waymo submitted this study to scientific journals to be peer reviewed, a process that's likely to take several months. >> in the meantime, there have been some outside academic s who have already looked at the paper, examined it. they'd say that there's some some really interesting numbers that that sound really upbeat notes about the safety of autonomous driving technology. >> the study comes on the heels of this crash in san francisco involving a cruise vehicle, which prompted the dmv. to pull their license to operate in california, stalling the av industry's momentum. i think especially after what happened to cruise the battle that waymo and all these robot taxi companies are facing is a battle over pr, right? >> public perception. are these vehicles safe? >> are they safe and are they reliable? we've seen countless incidents of robotaxi stalled, blocking traffic and even emergency vehicles. >> all right. so now it says waiting for intersection to clear. >> brandon experiencing a hiccup himself. the waymo refusing to turn left at this intersection

primary election ballots. so no, i mean, there is a situation where the supreme court agrees to take the appeal, and then they sit on it. but that would really be, i think, harm not just the candidate. it's not just election administration officials, but also the public. we need clarity on who our candidates can be. trump is appealing colorado's ruling. fellow republican candidates, including nikki haley and chris christie, have come to his defense, saying these issues should not be decided in courts. >> our abc family is mourning a terrible loss tonight as investigators are looking for what caused a news helicopter to crash in new jersey, killing the pilot and the photographer on board. both worked at our sister station, wpvi in philadelphia for many years. the photographer was 45 year old christopher dougherty. the pilot, 67 year old monroe smith. they were on their way back from a story when the crash happened last night in a remote part of burlington county, new jersey. the ntsb and

the end of the rainbow. >> i was sitting right under the rim and i'm looking. i'm like, that's that's good, that's good. and then i said some words that i'm not going to repeat. >> i mean, he never ceases to amaze us guys. >> magical. he just you can't explain it. um that's just the kind of stuff he does. >> we are so lucky to be able to watch steph play every night. a 49 ers host the ravens on christmas night right here on abc seven. kickoff between the top seeds in their respective conferences is at 5:15 p.m. both teams come in with 11 and three records baltimore the best rushing attack in the nfl lamar jackson at quarterback. so dangerous on that rpo game polls and reads and averages five yards per carry. that's the ravens as a team. they've won. this is astonishing. 19 of their last 20 games against nfc teams. head coach john harbaugh asked what he wanted for christmas. >> let's try to get along. you know, let's try to get along for a week, see if we can pull that off. you know that would be nice. so but i guess that would be it. and a win that, you know, those two things world peace and

a win. how about that okay. i'm not sure in that order. now it's different. >> it's my first time actually. you know i usually be sitting home watching basketball or something on christmas, but it's different. so it's going to be entertaining. it's going to be fun. >> lavar you could still watch basketball on christmas day. open presents. enjoy the warriors and nuggets at 11:30 a.m. here on abc seven. then we got celtics lakers. fast forward to the evening nfl countdown leading us into 40 niners versus ravens just after 5:00, followed by after the game. all right, ninth ranked stanford women hosting uc davis. this was all cardinal all the time hannah jump is going to hit the three. she moves to the very top of the all time stanford three point list with 312. makes at pick and roll execution. this is execution to perfection. cameron brink to jump back to brink for the lay in. she had a team high 21 and cameron brink has range. she's like six four, six five. but she can shoot the 321 points as stanford cruises 92 to 52 cal
