9:42 am
single officer. i can be dangerous for that officer. says police officers responding to the sideshows he's recorded, stay too far away to document evidence. >> wishing law enforcement would put more resources into not just responding, but also stopping the chaos in progress. i don't feel protected by chp these ways. and i don't feel like there's. >> again, like i it worries me of something bigger chp control this. what can they do? even though there were multiple sideshows around the same time in the bay area this weekend, chp is still investigating to determine if they are linked in any way reporting in san francisco. i'm rob nesbitt kron. 4 news. >> coming up next in the problem morning news request for a recount in the race to replace an issue in congress. of the candidates of said we'll tell you who they're blaming. >> plus, we'll have some more information about major delays we're seeing over in the east bay will bring you

>> all right. we're back 9.45. is the time again with the breaking news update from the traffic center. yeah, we've been talk about an accident that has been plaguing much of the east bay thomas and the traffic center. with that up a look. >> hey, good morning, everyone. that's right. over in the san lorenzo area, we've been seeing it since about 4 5 o'clock this morning to sum it up, a driver of the big rig fell asleep and it tipped over on its side. you can see it's right here at the connector of 80 southbound and 2.38. northbound. that connector completely closed, causing major delays all the way on 8.80, and also to 38 essentially all way through castro valley. and in addition to that, there's another accident. but we want to take you live to the scene of where
9:46 am
that big fell over onto its side. chp has been there since about 4 5 o'clock this morning. they're telling us they have no eta of when these lanes will be back open again. it's the connector of 80 southbound. so if you're using that to try to get over to sam a tail or san jose. unfortunately, they're not to be able to use it this morning. that driver fell asleep and that's where we are this morning. it's been like that for hours. in addition, there's another traffic collision the opposite way. and this is right here on southbound to 38 north of east 14th street. so that lane is completely blocked. your best bet for both of these to get around is to take mission and essentially get back on to either of the freeways. taking a look right now at the residual delays we're going to be seeing over in 5.80, near the pleasanton dublin area. you can see it's a 14 minute commute from livermore to dublin. not too bad, but still major congestion across that area. and even if you're taking 6.80 in your heading south, that's also congested because they're just clearing up a traffic collision that happened. but it has been
9:47 am
cleared. taking a look at some drive times for those of you in the more inland area, livermore to dublin, as i said around 15 minutes, dublin to fremont. 29 minutes. and you're going to see that because of that rig that's turned over san leandro to milpitas. 33 minutes milpitas to sunnyvale. 10 minutes taking a look at those who are heading over towards the mains crockett to the maze. 19 minutes, walnut creek to 5, 80 18 minutes. castro valley to the me 16 minutes. stanley under to the maze. another 15 minutes as well. live look at the bay bridge. everything is running smoothly there. only an 11 minute commute into the city from the maze. taking a look very quickly over in the south bay area. 44 minute commute from san jose to menlo park. not too bad. taking a look over there as well. san jose to cupertino. 14 minutes. we move up a little bit. there's another traffic collision for those of you who are heading into the south bay. you can see it's on southbound 101, near mansell street. so expect some major delays there. as you head out this morning, john, i will send it to thanks so much, michael. and we are looking
9:48 am
outside at least some really clear skies for most of the bay area, musher right along the coast. here's a little hint of that fog. >> drifting right through the golden gate bridge this morning. that cool ocean breeze in the air is definitely going to keep our coastal areas nice and cool in the 60's. while the rest of us see one more day of those 70's and 80's much as we did yesterday tomorrow, we'll start to see the impacts that low pressure to our north. so if you liked yesterday, enjoyed today's warm weather. is this high pressure is still the main influence on our forecast for the moment tomorrow, we'll start to see cloud cover drifting in after today's sunshine. you can see that pushing on into tomorrow in future cast rainfall holds off until after the sun goes down tomorrow night. so friday during the day, you're nice and dry. if you're hanging out friday night may be encountering some light showers that first and after midnight, some heavier rainfall again leading into saturday morning. a little bit of snowfall as we will be seeing cold air pushing it along with this frontal boundary. that means some more
9:49 am
mountain tops, know right here in the bay area. get a bit of a breather. as you're waking up saturday morning, a good chance to take the dog out before resurgence of moisture on into the middle of the day. chance of thunderstorm activity developing for the 2nd half of your saturday, most of what we'll see over the weekend will be on saturday itself and that will amount to around a half to an inch of rainfall across the bay in the meantime, today, one last warm day. hopefully you can get out there pleasant for the city in the 60's cooler at the coast in the low 60's while 70's to 80's along the bay shore and into the south bay, san jose. you'll get up to 82 degrees today. almost exactly like yesterday. pretty similar for the east bay, too, with 70's up the east bay shoreline. a lot of 80's further inland warmest spot. today's antioch up to 83 degrees while santa rosa at 78 tomorrow will be in the 60's at the very warmest, partly cloudy skies saturday. pretty overcast highs in the upper 50's after that will drive back out slowly seeing
9:50 am
temperatures climbing back into the 70's by next week. read write. thank you for that update for your local election headquarters to request for a recount of the made in the race. >> to replace congresswoman anna eshoo, as it stands right now. we've got both low and joe submit ian. >> they are tied and going to be joining sam liccardo on the november ballot. but kron four's catherine heenan takes a closer look at what a recount might mean. >> it seemed both have been low and joe summit, ian, we're willing to accept the recent surprising news of a two-way tie. their teams not talking about an expensive recount. former san jose mayor sam liccardo is already safely in first place. now santa clara county officials tell me they are being asked to do a manual recount, something that could begin as soon as monday. the approximate cost $32,000 a day lasting, maybe 10 days. so.
9:51 am
>> who's asking for there's allegation that one of the people requesting the recount associated with liccardo who actually would benefit from having a 2 person race rather than 3 person race. it's much easier. it weighs money. it's much easier draw contrasts. >> the name on the recount petition is a former staffer for sam liccardo name jonathan padilla. but look, camp is not confirming that only saying the final count needs to be accurate. meantime, a very angry reaction from evan los campaign. the statement from his spokesperson, this is a page right out of trump's political playbook using dirty tricks to attack democracy and subvert the will of voters. sam liccardo, who does not live in this district, did not file a recount himself. instead, he had his former staffer do it for him. what's he afraid of? think antidemocratic at all. >> to ask for ask for a recount in and in a lot of
9:52 am
races and there are mandatory recounts like a presidential. and then when there's no one squat about anti democratic. >> also weighing in south bay, congressman roe conn who said in a post on x, a candidate wanting to overturn the will of the voters is undemocratic. sam liccardo supporters should not push for a recount asking to overturn election results in district 16 when all other candidates have accepted them. it's a crash political ploy and it's why i'm with evan low. >> it's a tie. vote. >> yockey says if somebody is willing to pay for recount. well, clearly that's allowed by law. and he says there's a huge if in all this will somebody come up with the money they there been instances already. >> in california history where people requested a recount. but i'm to come up with the meantime, in this flurry of excited reactions. yaki thanks a supervisor. some idiot is
9:53 am
probably playing the smart by not really saying much of anything right now. >> jackie says that makes him appear to be more statesman like. >> thank you, catherine. 9.52. is the time. let's talk baseball. the giants looking to avoid a three-game sweep as they host the nationals last night at oracle park, starting at the bottom of the second giants were down to run until nick. i'm ed hits this one deep into center. jacob young. >> could make the catch collides with the wall. instead that set the giants up to tie the game with the very next at bat and eventually take the lead. nationals were unable to come back after that, which ended up scoring 2 more runs in the bottom of the 5th and 6th. so the final in this 1, 7, to one, they start a new series with rays on the road in tampa bay. tomorrow. first pitch for that 3.50. meanwhile, the a's they were looking to make it 2 in a row against the rangers down a texas rangers. they were the first to score in the game followed by a score for the a's to tie it up. the bottom
