sinex. breathe. ahhhhhh! from cbs news bay area, this is the evening edition. now at 11:00, we are following breaking news out of the east bay as firefighters race to try and put out a fire at a local high school. and the tragic story out of

san francisco's west portal neighborhood gets even worse as another member of a family hit by speeding suv dies in the hospital tonight. >> you just want to hug your kids closer and really be mindful of every single moment you have with each other. then after months of pressure, san francisco police agree to release security footage of a violent attack against a 71-year-old asian woman as advocates call for hate crime charges. and the new tech that thieves are using to steal a very specific model of car in the bay area. >> good evening. i'm brian hackney. >> i'm andrea nakano. let's get straight to that breaking news out of pleasanton tonight. crews are on the scene of a fire burning at amador valley high school. this all started within the last few hours. this is video sent to us by someone sanding across the street. you can see the smoke and a number of fire engines and trucks on the scene. officials are asking people to avoid the area. >> in this video posted to x, fire and smoke pouring out of

one of the buildings on campus. firefighters on the scene knocked the blaze down. there is no word so far on how the fire got started. more video of the aftermath as locals came out to have a look. the district has said the fire probably will not impact classes tomorrow. now to our other big story tonight, news that a third victim from yesterday's horrific crash has died. >> family and friends telling our da lin the family was headed to the dew at the time of the crash to celebrate the parents' wedding anniversary. >> reporter: there are two makeshift memorials on yaloa street, the main one at the bus stop and a smaller memorial about 60 feet away. the crash happened over there, but the impact sent the toddler flying. he landed and died right here.

witnesses, neighbors, and well wishers dropped off flowers, stuffed animals, and toys at the bus stop. safety advocates left a white stroller and three pairs of shoes, one for each victim that died in the crash. johannademayuga was one of many that came to pay her respects. she lives across the street from the bus stop. she ran out when she heard the crash on saturday. >> it's very heartbreaking, very difficult for us to unsee what we saw here yesterday. i'm still shaking just thinking about it. >> reporter: she had a hard time sleeping, thinking about the toddler who was in a stroller thrown about 60 feet away from the bus stop. >> but the stoler was clearly destroyed, yeah. so he was still strapped in there. >> reporter: the father landed about 70 to 80 feet away from the point of impact. witnesses say both victims were covered in blood and died at the scene. paramedics rushed the mom and a baby to the hospital. authorities say the mom died from her injuries. the infant

is still suffering from life threatening injuries. >> you just want to hug your kids closer and just really be mindful of every single moment you have with each other. >> reporter: the victims' close friends declined an on-camera interview but shared the father is diego, 40 years other, mother matugu, 38 years old, the toddler about 1 1/2 years old and the infant about 2 months old, both boys. friends say the family lives in the mission district. saturday was diego and matugu's wedding anniversary, so they decided to take the bus to celebrate the anniversary with the boys at the san francisco zoo. >> how a car can be racing that fast and take out an entire bus stop. >> reporter: that's what police are investigating. some witnesses believe the elderly driver of the white mercedes suv suffered from some kind of medical condition. police cannot confirm that. witnesses say she was going between 50 and 70 miles per hour in the wrong direction. no signs of

braking and no skid marks on the street. >> saddened, disturbed and disheartened and we wanted to pay our respects. we brought five lillies in memory of the people that died or are injured. >> i really pray for the family and everyone affected. >> reporter: johanna and many neighbors are praying the baby will survive and receive a lot of support. >> i am just like unable to move forward. i need to have closure with what i saw. i can't really unsee the carnage that happened here yesterday. >> reporter: friends say diego was originally from brazil. his family is flying to the u.s. matugu, the wife, was from portugal, her familiar also flying to the bay area. as for the elderly driver, she's in stable condition. it's unclear if she'll face any charges. >> street safety advocates will hold a vigil tomorrow at 5:00 at the site of the crash and all san francisco police have said about the accident is they don't think traffic

engineering was a factor in the case. the san francisco police department is promising to release video from a case last year they reopened last week amid pressure from asian activist groups. the asian justice movement released a statement saying, "we demand immediate release of the video showing the fatal attack and that the san francisco police reopen the case as a homicide investigation and potential hate crime." mayor london breed said she also wants the video released after talking with community leaders. yam fhan wu was found bleeding on the ground in the bayview district last july. police initially determined it was an accident, but the fm standard reports the woman accused of pushing her was arrested last week for allegedly assaulting another elderly chinese woman which made police want to relook at the circumstances surrounding the first incident. chief bill

scott tweeted, "the sfpd does not tolerate violence against our aapi community and take these cases very seriously. this death is a tragedy. the sfpd will release the video in this case as mayor breed requested after the investigation is complete." in other news, a warning tonight for chevy camaro owners, police say thieves are using key cloning devices to steal that particular kind of car. max darrow has the story. >> san francisco and los angeles pd both report an uptick in camaro thefts. a consumer watchdog says individuals should take extra steps to protect themselves and action is needed higher up to make sure consumers are better protected. chevy camaros high on car thieves' radars right now in northern and southern california. here's a look at sfpd's numbers. 21 camaro thefts were reported in 2022, 46 in 2023, and through the first 2 1/2 months this year 15

camaro thefts. in los angeles the problem is even more prevalent. around this time last year lapd reported seven camaros stolen. this year 90 so far. lapd sergeant arnold castellanos tells our team police often find many of these stolen camaros at illegal street takeovers or the thieves try and resell the camaros. >> quite often find them where they're actually turning around and posting them on social media to sell them, 40, 50, $60,000 car selling it for $3,000. >> many consumers have heard of the increase in key fob cloning and the thefts of other kinds of vehicles. >> carmen balber is the executive director of consumer watchdog, a group dedicated to safeguard withing the interests and rights of california consumers. >> we have seen this problem with other cars impact consumers' ability to get auto insurance. >> she says insurance companies, however, can't just increase prices overnight.

>> they have to go to the insurance commissioner, prove that these thefts have, in fact, caused increased losses and get approval for any price increases. >> castellanos' advice to camaro owners. >> specifically if it's something near and dear to your heart, install some kind of kill switch and some other gps tracker or products like lojack or onstar. those are good products that help us find the vehicles. >> balber says this should be a wake-up call to manufacturers as well. >> we can tell individual consumers, oh, there's a flaw with your car. these are ways to try and protect your car from being stolen, but what we need is action higher up at the manufacturer level to make sure that it isn't so easy to clone those fobs to begin with. >> it's not just the big cities in california that are keeping an eye out on this. the city of rohnert park recently warned the community there to be aware of this issue. >> last year oakland had a record number of car thefts,

almost 15,000. that amounts to about 40 stolen cars a day. so far cars are being stolen at a slower rate this year, 2,400 at this point, not as many as the same time in 2023. in san francisco there have been about 1,100 car thefts to date, about the same as last year. still ahead tonight at 11:00, the bracket is set for this year's ncaa men's basketball tournament with st. mary's ready to make a run. we'll have a look at their first match-up in the madness. and later what better place to celebrate st. patrick's day than in dublin, either in the old country or right here in the bay area. and coming up in the forecast, we aren't done with the mid-70s for daytime highs. we'll talk about that. then we'll talk about the rain coming back by the end of the week, but the first thing we need to discuss is the fog tomorrow. we'll put visibility numbers on here. i'll show you how low it's going to be for your part of the bay. you might want extra time on the road

monday morning. i'll see you with that coming up in a few minutes.

morikawa on 18. he is really boxed in here. -not a good spot. off the comcast business van. into the vending area. oh, not the fries! where's the ball? -anybody see it? oh wait, there it is! -back into play and... aw no, it's in the water. wait a minute... are you kidding me? you got to be kidding me. rolling towards the cup, and it's in the hole! what an impossible shot brought to you by comcast business. some good news for the morning commute in the east bay, 680 in pleasanton will be

open by 4:00 tomorrow morning according to caltrans. the southbound lanes between the 580 connector to koopman road have been closed all weekend. caltrans says the inconvenience was worth it. they managed to do 40 nights' worth of work over the last two plus days. >> that's good. they had dry conditions, which is the reason they had to delay the work till this point, but these dry conditions, these idyllic weather days that we've been having, are ending according to that man. it's not till the end of the week, brian. we'll get sunny and low 70s the next couple days. it's sticking around a bit, but yeah, it's coming to an end friday. before that tomorrow morning it's going to be foggy. pick out your part of the bay. what you're looking at in addition to the visualization where the fog will be, it will be patchy and on again, off again. look for the visibility numbers. look at san francisco's number. if you get below 0.5, that's a forecast reading that

tells you for your part of the bay, visibility on the road will be less than a half mile. if you're 1.0, you can see down the road a mile. look at the north bay. that's where we'll likely encounter some of the thickest fox, but it's not the only place. national weather service has not issued a dense fog advisory tomorrow, but it's going to be out there. plan ahead. give yourself a little extra time on the road tomorrow. we'll clear away the fog now. it probably will stick around until about 10:00 a.m. that's what it looked like this morning, beautiful time lapse from the mark hopkins hotel. we woke up with some of the may gray stuff, but it wasn't terribly widespread. tomorrow will be more and then sunny and mid-70s the rest of monday. let's talk about the change. i'll show you how much longer the 70s stick around in a second. i need to show you where the storm's coming from. we need to pick this apart because it's starting to look more impressive now than even just

yesterday. when you look at the way it's kind of shaped, it's got a long tail of moisture going down to the subtropics and a strong area of low pressure with cold air. this is a good storm in terms of having all the necessary ingredients for widespread rain and good snow in the sierra, both of them coming. that's friday. we won't get too specific at this point. i'm not putting time stamps on there. we're just generically looking at days. friday likely is some of the more noticeable impacts from this from the rain, widespread steady, leftover showers saturday and by sunday it will clear out. if we look at rainfall totals for the three-day period, about 1 1/2 inches. it's not terrible. we're not concerned about flooding from this, but it's going to be widespread steady rain. we're going right back into that friday particularly and saturday and sunday. the other model the numbers maybe aren't as big, but they're about twice as big as they were yesterday. this is the one that's been more conservative. they're starting to come into

more alignment. this storm will produce another 2 or 3 feet of snow in the sierra friday going into saturday. it's certainly going to change around here as we get towards friday into next week. let's put this into a seven-day forecast. we'll start out with our inland microclimate. you're still in the low to mid-70s couple days. after the break we'll head to dublin, the one in ireland and the one in california, for some st. patrick's day celebrations when we come back. the ncaa tournament is about to drop, but not without two bay area teams. >> we're just getting started. come along for the ride. >> you can't have march madness without breaking down the brackets. >> st. mary's will go a long way in the tournament. and bay area soccer history for the bay fc franchise. you know we got a lot more than

that. it's all coming up on "gameday" at 11:30. (upbeat music) - this is the new pix+ with the only 8:00 and 9:00 pm news, the primetime edition: weeknights on the new pix+. 44 cable 12. (bell chiming)

celebrations around the world today for st. patrick's day, extravagant parades in boston and tokyo and, of course, nowhere more festive

than in ireland's capital city, dublin. celebrations happening in the bay area dublin as well today. john ramos reports it's nothing like the real st. patrick would have expected because they didn't do this kind of thing 1,600 years ago. here's john. >> reporter: every year thousands of people come to dublin to celebrate a piece of celtic history it turns out very few people know anything about. >> i think it's awesome. it's a weekend a year everybody in dublin becomes irish. >> reporter: it's st. patrick's day in dublin which looks a lot like a county fair except the kettle corn is green and visitors must search through their clothing to find anything that looks even remotely green in color. >> the green's not a color that i wear typically. so it's a little -- i have to search for something like a custom 49ers green t-shirt. >> i think the dressing up

makes it like the part that is part of the holiday. that's what makes the holiday. >> reporter: jeff campbell is 50% irish which makes him about 100% more than most of the festivalgoers. he's been to the old country and says they aren't sure what to make of america's st. patrick's day traditions. >> i think most of them shake their heads just like what's up with them? >> reporter: they don't understand this? >> no. they don't quite understand it, right. >> reporter: but that's okay because the irish see themselves as a fun loving people, always looking for any reason to celebrate. >> it's known as the irish outlook on life, but it should be everybody's outlook on life. >> reporter: but a young video blogger named daze who was live streaming the festival admitted it does seem like a peculiar holiday. >> i'll be honest. i don't know much about st. patrick. all i know, he's irish,

probably had a nice big beard. i can't grow one. i envy that guy. >> reporter: it turns out the patron saint of ireland wasn't irish at all. he was abducted at a young age from roman-controlled britain and taken to ireland as a slave. he escaped but later returned as a priest to convert the masses to christianity, so the church made him a saint and even suspended the lenten ban on alcohol during his feast day. that may be why drinking has always been part of the holiday's tradition. >> okay. that makes sense. hey, celebrate the catholic saint, right, with a beer, with more than one probably. >> reporter: and the city of dublin wouldn't have it any other way. >> after 40 years of doing this, i mean it's become a staple. this is a signature event for the city of dublin and so we cannot not celebrate st. patrick's day. >> reporter: it all makes sense to us, even if the people in ireland don't quite know what to make of it. >> another annual tradition at

the hiller aviation museum on the peninsula. check out this green clad man or perhaps a leprechaun descending from the sky. no pot of gold at the end of that particular flight, seems like yet another variation of the celebration of st. patrick's day. coming up after the break, the hi-tech car feature that is getting negative reviews from safety regulators. we'll be right back.

more and more new cars are equipped with semi automated driving systems, but new testing shows they aren't doing enough to insure people are paying attention to the road when the system is engaged. >> it can be very dangerous. they are not self-driving vehicles. so you see people who either intentionally or unintentionally misuse these systems and get themselves into trouble. the biggest things that need to change are improvements in monitoring both the head, the eyes as well as the hands to make sure you're ready to take control of the vehicle. >> in a statement the trade group representing automakers says the systems help reduce roadway crashes and injuries and that drivers should always

be alert and attentive when using them. even though those self-driving vehicles are only operating in a handful of cities across the country, including here in san francisco, most drivers are still skeptical. according to a new aaa survey, 66% of drivers expressed fear about fully self-driving vehicles, but a majority of surveyed drivers say they are open to at least some kind of driver assistance system. >> it's not a surprise that americans have fear about fully autonomous self-driving vehicles. you hear about these collisions involving a fully autonomous vehicle. they're highly publicized. it just caused people to be very concerned about that type of technology. it's something new. most people have not ridden in a fully self-driving vehicle. >> aaa says they are working with automakers to educate consumers and build drivers' confidence in the cars of the future. coming up after the break,

a big takeaway from selection sunday, including when the bay area's only team will hit the court.
