9:01 am
cool down today. even further cooling down for the rest of the forecast. >> by friday and saturday of this week will be waving to some showers looking outside at san jose this morning that blanket of low gray is very, very strict. i think for you not a lot of sunlight peeking through just yet. we are still seeing that low grade all the way inland 2 and a few foggy spots. once you get out to the delta, especially now skies are dry and we will see increasingly clear conditions this afternoon. today on all is going to be a pleasant day. but signs of that change will start to notice. temperatures in the 40's to 50's right now. hayward at 55 52 degrees. the late show you're sitting at 50 later today. it's still going to be some 60's and a few 70's for the stimulant. i'm going to be talking increasingly cool weather and eventually that opportunity of rainfall still ahead, rain. all right. on the year that been tracking an earlier accident along in that 80 connector. >> thankfully, that is all clear. all the lanes are clear right now. but you have
9:02 am
residual delays. so we're still little slow along to not as bad as it was earlier. 24 completely backed up along with a 13. if you are going to be traveling this morning, 8.80, with that alternate, i've been saying ashby avenue as you're traveling through the emeryville berkeley area. again, you're also seeing slight pockets of delays because of that earlier crash bay bridge right now. 15 minutes watching. finally do it. the maze making it into the city this morning. got a maneuver long. those delays, mateo bridge is so backed up because a lot of folks took that route as an alternate this morning. so we're at about 24 minutes. 81 on which is over over 11 minutes and the golden gate bridge about 33 minutes. bart is also another route you want to keep in the forefront of your mind to maneuver around the traffic delays. we do. in fact, let's talk more what happened there on westbound 5.80, this morning. again, one person killed in that 3 vehicle crash. >> that impacted hours or traffic for hours and locked lanes was. >> kron four's will tran is live outside the bay bridge
9:03 am
toll plaza. will you kind of an updating us because you've got a firsthand look at the cars all >> you see those signs right over my left shoulder. do not enter wrong way. those signs played a pivotal role in exactly what happened at 4.30, this morning because those signs were ignored. at the bay bridge toll plaza parking lot at around 8 o'clock in the morning. now, i can tell you the chp they towed all 3 cars involved in the collision right to my location. let me show you the video. a black bmw. it was the driver in this particular car who was killed. we don't know if it was a man or woman, but that person was going westbound 5.80, at 04:30am, in the morning and look at the front end just crumpled like a soda can. now we do know that the 2 suspects, according to the chp, they were driving in a
9:04 am
white pickup truck according to them, they were actually being pursued by the el serino police officers. a short distance. and then after that, they called off their pursuit. the collision also involves a white van work van that person major injuries. now, let me show you video moments after it happened at 04:30am, in the morning. this is west bound 5.80, as you approach the macarthur maze. the 2 suspects running from police officers. they were going in the wrong direction when they slammed into 2 innocent bystanders that caused traffic between 4.30, and 8 o'clock in the morning to go up or to bumper. and at times to a screeching halt as investigators had to coach at the scene, then they had to tow away the 3 cars not to mention the cleanup, the roadway to make sure there was not any oil on the roadway to
9:05 am
cause another accident. if you can head back to me now, i want to show you why those 2 signs are so important according to the chp, the 2 suspects came here to the parking lot. but they made a u-turn. they a nord. those 2 signs, they go right up here. this is where the macarthur maze on westbound 5.80. takes you down here in case you have an emergency, you can park your car and have it looked at. but instead it is not meant to go that way. and from this particular section here, those 2 sides to where the collisions took place about a 3rd of a mile freeway speeds. i showed you the bmw you see for yourself how crumpled it is. unfortunately, the collisions so horrific that that person in the car died at the scene as far as the 2 suspects, major injuries not to mention the driver of the
9:06 am
van. those people as far as the van and the bmw chest probably heading to work or whatever they needed to go minding their own business and all of a sudden their world, all of a sudden had a collusion right here about 3rd of a mile from my location just minding their own and by the way, james fletcher, john trouble and i. we just missed it by minutes. i was there at the scene. thought it was a simple accident. thought that he would be cleared. i had no idea that unfortunately near my location, a person had done it. >> and this is just absolutely just terrible will. thank you very 95 is the time we have another big story this morning to where we have 3 family members who died. there's an infant that's still in the hospital right now being treated. but this is all following a crash that happened in san francisco's west portal. so investigators arrested and charged the driver. >> 78 year-old mary fong allow for the crash. there was a
9:07 am
vigil last night for the family members that were killed. we have kron 4 sarah stinson with the story. >> hundreds of people attended this vigil. they came here to remember the family killed in the crash at the bus stop here. you can see the candles still live from that vigil. well, it may be over. people continue to visit this growing memorial. music-filled san francisco's west portal neighborhood monday night as hundreds of people stood together in both grief and solidarity. people placed flowers, stuffed animals and candles at a bus stop on you. lewis street. >> that's where a family of 4 was struck by a car on saturday waiting for the to take their kids to the zoo, which is what this family was doing. a mom, dad and child were killed. their baby survived the supervisor for this district. myrna melgar says the baby is now at the
9:08 am
children's hospital. trauma center at child now has no parents sibling. so it is really difficult. and i am thinking about after a moment of silence, police chief bill scott lay down flowers for the family. >> feeling lost. cac says she witnessed the crash is still trying to process it all. but she says being at the vigil helps to other people that specifically new these individuals, friends, family, co-workers, people who worked with them is helpful for me. and just also to see the rest of the community and to see how many people came tax could be seen. holding woman who knew the family when and sylvia than any of the family came up and just. >> kind of like lost. like i just started, it triggered need to start crying or just like boom it made me because i could feel her emotions. >> as neighbors try their best
9:09 am
to comfort each other. they also expressed fear for their own safety supervisor. melgar says she's working to make the area safer for everyone. let's have physical bollards in front of bus shelters the separation with the pedestrian so that we know that kids can be safe. there's a petition going around to make the area car free supervisor melgar is not against that, but she says it would take far too long to make that happen as they would have to do. studies. she's trying to make sure there are those physical barriers so that they can protect pedestrians on the sidewalk. i'm sara stinson reporting in san francisco. back to you. >> well, happening today, the city of oakland could change the way police respond to alarms still on the proposed ordinance, law enforcement and only respond to the law if a crime has been confirms, we find well michael thomas in the newsroom with the latest on that. hey, michael. hey, good morning, everyone. will oakland city officials say that the ordinance that they're passing? will they say that it's going to help police
9:10 am
spend more time and focus on actual crimes rather than false alarms. but alarm companies disagree and say that the change may lead to even more crimes happening. >> and that's the case in other cities. when ordinance like this is past. so what is a verified alarm system? well, it's a system that requires private alarm aompanies to verify that a crime is actually happening before the police are dispatched and put on location and it's done so by video, audio or other means a confirmation and the new ordinance that set to be finalized today requires that all new alarm installs be verified response systems. it also requires that existing alarms users with non verified systems convert to a verified system. once they have 2 or more false alarms those backing this change say that the oakland police reported that 98% of its alarm responses in 2021 to 2022. were false alarms which resulted in the agency being less available to respond to actual burglaries and emergency calls the california
9:11 am
alarm association says this change punishes people that have invested in protecting themselves and their property, adding that this style of policing has been tried out in other cities in the past and it's been repealed by different areas and that's throughout the country. as citizens have complained about rising crime rates and overall public safety. that includes cities like san jose, along with 3 others here in the state of california. however, oakland officials say t%e change did work in some cities like las vegas. and right now the association says they feel that both alarm industry officials and experts along with the public should be able to make a comment and have a discussion about this change before things are finalized later tonight. now we did reach out to officials with the city of oakland when it comes responding to the statements from the actual alarm association says we get more details on that will keep you updated by this morning in the newsroom. and michael thomas will send it back to you. all right, michael, thank you for that break down their time now is 9.11 happening today. the city of oakland is going to vote on whether the city should use license plate readers to catch people. >> illegally dumping items on
9:12 am
the streets. if passed, the ordinance would allow the city to catch and prosecute these dumpers. the cameras would be installed in public hotspots where chronic dumping has been seen. the cameras would only be placed in areas that have like light poles, bus stops, streetlights. it won't go into effect until april 1st, if it's passed. all right. well, happening today, we've got the sfmta now they're going to present locations for multiple cars that have been broken into. so more on that coming up in a minute.

9:15 am
>> all right. we're back. 9.14, is that i'm here on the kron 4 morning news. all right. and it's been really nice of you for the most part. we can't really tell from indoors, but it looks it looks nice job for american morning, john. yeah, it's definitely just fine. this morning. >> no rainfall out there. not even all that cold the morning, but we just have a lot of grace sitting overhead that low cloud cover and fog seen right here from mount tam still shrouding out the vast majority of the bay area. but once we do see it burn off. patience is key here. we do get to a nice and clear latter half of the day today as well as tomorrow and thursday are all remaining dry. and that high pressure ridge is partly responsible for that. we do see a huge switch up, though, arriving this weekend. and that involves cooler conditions and eventually some wetter conditions, too. you see showers dropping in along this cold front as we move into the latter half of friday, friday into saturday are going to be particularly cool little bit breezy as well as snowy up in the sierra and just wet for the bay area saturday. good day to watch
9:16 am
the movies. keep it a little bit local sunday. if you are heading to the sierra, good day for your travels. back before a brief resurgence of rainfall on monday. all this rain is going to amount to around 3 inches up in the north coast while some urban areas in the bay could see well over an inch of rainfall from the weekend into early next week. so you get the idea here. a lot of changes in the works for us. definitely a huge difference from this past weekend when we were so warm. as for current temperatures, we are cool in the 50's later today, though it's 60's to 70's that sunshine really going to help us out. antioch, one of our warmer spots up to 74 while oakland and san francisco in the mid 60's tomorrow, temperatures a little cooler and cooling down further for the rest of the forecast. by friday. showers arriving mostly in the afternoon saturday, barely making the 60's was showers continuing, right? all right, john, thank you for that. we are tracking our morning commute from an early morning crash. >> a lot 5.18, that 80 connector that is now clear. but as you can see, you're still seeing delays along
9:17 am
5.80, on 24 and even 13. so 80 would be a good alternate for you as you try to maneuver around that. bridge is going to look at things right now. 13 minutes into the city this morning. once you get past that mateo bridge down from 30 to 22 lot of people took the senate hill ridge as a result of the delays here it was december fell bridge 8 minutes and the golden gate bridge. 37 of the tolls going 32 minutes. >> time now to talk winners and losers on wall street. we have financial expert rob black joining us this morning with markets a little mixed drop where you stand. >> a little bit worse about an hour ago. it's improved. the s p 500 just turned positive. the dow is positive. the nasdaq slightly weaker nvidia, disappointed the tech crowd by not. it disappoints. they did everything. they're supposed to socks just up 200 plus percent of last 52 i'm ty expectations were met yesterday with ad developers conference in san jose where they should a lot of ai future from robots to cars to new
9:18 am
types of memory. types of hardware. but again, people are a little underwhelmed because it built in. tomorrow we get the federal reserve talk about what are called the dot plots show us how many more times they're going to cut interest rates in for cut 9 so far expectations for 3, they say, too. markets might sell off. they say 3 markets might rally. but, you know, i see this is a healthy digestion period. and on wall we should be making new highs every day to 7 out of 10 years which make the highs. more on track for that. >> okay. all right. and i find interesting, too, this morning because a lot of the exit, this of california in terms of people leaving the state, they were going to 2 places like austin, texas, but i'm seeing this morning at the housing market. there now is beginning to cool after seeing a a spike here recently. what's your read on that? >> austin, us and houston. we have a problem. it's kind of showing it up. prices in austin are up 66%. i knew a
9:19 am
couple families that left. they loved it. up. 66 1% from 9, 2019 that through 2022 now the home prices are down 11% since 2023 started rents are down 7%. it's the fastest decelerating market in the united states in rents and home prices. and they got so much demand there to build cdc, more apartments go out. so not saying it's is really difficult to succeed. as far as getting lower rents because we just don't have a lot of land to build on where we do. and there's counties like brand they don't like seeing building split into so it's a little more prohibitive in texas. interesting. okay. and sticking with the real estate market, what's this word that? >> maybe the 6% standard commission for buying and selling homes that go to the agents. is that a thing of the past now? what am i seeing here? it will be a thing of the the rules don't go into effect until july of this year. so it's not quite there yet. but on friday.
9:20 am
>> now, are they like to call them the national association of realtors? they lost another case. they lost 418 million dollar case. i'm ty towards commissions anti-competitive they're kind of things that we can't get around when i decide to buy a house sell or, you know, get struck 6%. and that drives the price up of the home 6% typically is the thinking in america. we have 100 billion dollars in commissions every year in real estate. it's the one industry that hasn't been hit by the internet until now. so brokerage fees by mutual funds lowered to buy stocks lower to do your banking went lower it's about time in my opinion now. i'm sure a lot of realtors are screaming at me right now to i know they're important part of the process to maximize profits seller in get buyers into and 100 billion dollars in commissions begins go after real estate agent. have to lower the commission's be competitive. we're thinking about a 30% commissions cut. he's going about standard. so
9:21 am
in a million dollar home, they're currently getting about $60,000 when it sold in the bay area. so you can pull you know, may be at 30% of that. so, that should help companies that have real estate agents like zillow encompass their stocks were down 10% on friday on this news. and home builders like pulte toll brothers. their stocks because, again, we'll probably somewhere homes in the future and get some of the fees out. you have the real estate buying process. interesting. it's it's all relative, isn't it? yeah. 6 1% on a $300,000 home somewhere else in the country. >> you know, is different than 6% multimillion-dollar home here in the bay area, which seems like most homes are above a million dollars. so, yeah, that's a lot. >> the commission's and or upper half what they are in the united states half what they are in the uk. so it's we've protected the real estate agents for a little bit too long, in my opinion, as other markets have seen pricing competition. come
9:22 am
right. >> okay. now, lastly, let's end on a comical know we've got mister beast who's known for all those. you know, splashy stunts online. he's heading to prime video. what's going on there? >> this isn't think of it from social influencer youtuber to mainstream tv. so 245 million scribes on youtube. his name is jamie donaldson. also known as mister east. my kids love him. and insists that we buy mister beast candy bars because they're better for you than the typical hershey's chocolate. at least that's you market an amino. yeah. so he's coming to prime video and he's got, you know, a v essex survive 100 days trapped and when $500,000 he had one. that was let's have 1000 blind people see for the first time to some sort of implant for them and they 175 million views. he famously created squid games that pulled in 587 millions viewers to see it. so he's he's all that and a
