with breaking news. the breaking news is in san jose and it could break your commute. yeah. big rig with more than 40,000 pounds of strawberries is on its side. this is on highway one 80 in san jose is a big mess to clean up and a big mess of traffic is resulting crabbers. michael thomas live at the scene. what's going on right now? >> hey, good morning, everyone. right now they are emptying out that big right with the stop you can see here. but take a look. this is on the side of highway 101 and it is the northbound lanes. as we mentioned, the connector for both northbound 8.80, and northbound. 101 are completely close. stop essentially move the camera over here. so you can see that big rig tipped over on its side. chp says they do believe that the driver may have tried to make too wide of a turn connecting on to north about 8.80, heading over towards the east bay. lead them to hit the railing and then their tractor and trailer tipped over and you can see was filled with 40,000 pounds of strawberries.
7:01 am
thankfully that driver is okay and drivers still here on the scene. he's he would not speak with us, but everything inside all of that product is now being thrown out. you can right here in this tractor, what they're filling it with is the strawberries and they are dumping them all out. so thankfully everybody is ok, but when it comes to clean up tractor and trailer also hit some of the sand buckets which caused more congestion. because now the connector of 8.80, getting onto northbound 101 is also close. and you can see all those strawberries now going to but the good thing is nobody was harmed in as far as the cleanup, it's going to take at least a few hours. and as we get more details from officials what may have exactly happened, keep you updated. but from what they tell me here on the scene, they think maybe possibly just made too wide of a turn, they but they don't think it was anything too crazy. maybe possibly he could have fell asleep, but no other details have been given eta. no eta. as of right now, south, i

7:05 am
claims still after all this time that he did not kill laci peterson, despite at this same courthouse decades ago, he was convicted of killing laci peterson and their unborn son. connor. now back on 12/24/2002, it's irrefutable. that's scott peterson was not home at the time. now. he claims he was actually at the berkeley marina fishing that he had nothing to do with laci peterson's death, that, in fact, it was she was abducted in. mean his attorneys and peterson claim that there was an orange band found near their home that was burned inside. that van was a mattress. they want to do dna testing on believing if they finally sees dna in there clearly proves that he was not the killer. the prosecutors say they had an airtight case
7:06 am
back then they refused to do any dna testing. now, unless judge orders them to do so that scott peterson is desperate man trying to prove that the police officers did shoddy work. they claim prosecutors say that they did not that he was an airtight case, depending on what happens. it's a big day, obviously for the prosecutors for scott peterson, depending on how the judge rules, we will be inside and let you know exactly what happens. scott peterson will not be in the courtroom, james and ari, in fact, he will be doing it from a conference call. i've seen him before. he will be there because he's in a prison far away from this location. but again, he has obviously a very vested interest and what's going on because we're talking decades into it. he still has not claimed that he was the killer that all this time that he is innocent man, increased. back to you. >> all right. thank you. will

>> 7.29. see how things are going to san jose. if you drive through that mess. it's the big breaking news story this morning. 40 pounds 40,000 pounds of strawberry getting in your way. we've got reyna harvey in a minute with the traffic impacts. but michael thomas is standing by at the scene to talk more about what's going on. michael. >> hey, good morning, everyone. we've got about 20,000 pounds of those shoppers right here behind me. you can see they're actually just tossing them all away. this is near the 101
7:31 am
northbound in 8.80, connector. you can see there was a big rig that turned over filled with 40,000 pounds of strawberries and that big rig. we're going to show you in just a second. you can see what they're doing right now is taking out those strawberries. the only about halfway through that actual trailer that was connected to that big rig. they're getting those out. the driver is safe. essentially, chp does think that the driver made too wide of a turn, connect trying to get onto northbound 8.80, on that connector. there hit the railing, caused his big break to flip over and then it hit on to some of those sand buckets and those sand buckets went over to the connector of 80 heading to northbound 1, 1, so we've got 2 connectors that are closed this morning. we've got lots of strawberries. they're trying to get off of our out of that truck. i should say. you can see right there. they are throwing them all away. so it's a lot going on this morning. the traffic on 101, northbound is slowing down in this specific area.
7:32 am
we've got lots of looking lowers people wondering what is in this big pile. well better. those strawberries and again, they're throwing those away. so as we get more details from chp of when this will be open back up, we'll keep you updated. but for now, they say it's going to be like this at least for a few hours because once they finally empty out that big break, also need to turn it on its right side so they can haul it away. that's a very latest here in san jose. i'm michael thomas story. and james, i'll send it back to a lot of massart. thank you, michael. all right. now let's continue our team coverage. you go to the traffic center and see what reyna harvey has for advice getting around that. yeah, it's going to be quite a delay for the next few hours. in fact, like michael just mentioned. >> that northbound 101 to 8.80, connector ramp and 8.80 to 101, both shut down right now because of that overturned big rig. you can already see the backup forming along 101. that's option for you right now. because, look, everything's pretty busy. first try to take the surface streets. and then if you need to take the highways 6.80, 101 to 2.80. but as you can see,
7:33 am
everybody's doing that this morning. so hoping able to get that cleared up. but as of right now, it's problematic for roadways in the south bay service treats first in 6.80, or 2.80, to 101 to the options. this is actually a photo of the scene there. as you can see, mike's been talking about that throughout the morning. the next few hours. if you're in the south bay, it's going to be a problem. 25 minutes on the bay bridge. there are other highways, busy, but not because of accidents. 15 minutes along a richmond center fell bridge. look at 80 over the east bay. 34 minute ride nearly 40. you might want to take some possible avenue to navigate around those delays. and 24 walnut creek down to 5, 80 15 minutes. johnson, thank you so much. rain that we are looking at a lot of sunshine out there today. so any backups that you may be venturing into at least weather is not complicating those any further. we are seeing clear skies at the golden gate and some clear skies in downtown san francisco, too. >> much lighter wind. so all in all, a huge difference from yesterday morning. visibility
7:34 am
is fine in the presence of marine layer very, very thin. so temperatures are going to warm really quickly. we're not talking a lot of winds today, either. definitely calmer than yesterday was this adds up really nicely for heading outside, enjoying a day under the sunshine. it is noticeably warmer inland, but not our warm us just yet. vacaville. you're close to 70 degrees right now. oakland and berkeley in the mid-fifties, as i mentioned today, does warm up. but our warmest days are still ahead of us. i'll be talking those in your full forecast ahead. back to you. thanks. a lot of 7.33. and self-checkout is no longer an option for. >> many safe ways around the bay area. a safeway says they took him out of select stores because of theft. and this isn't the first step this safeway has taken to try to prevent crime either. they also installed exit gates at some stores. so customers have to scan the receipt to get out of the store. a retail theft
7:35 am
is an issue that continues to plague california statewide. as you know, in state senator lola smallwood quay of us has proposed a bill to prevent retail theft that if past would prohibit stores from having self checkout lines unless they follow a list of requirements. >> regulating that you can only have 15 items or less, you know, coming through self-checkout and we think you need at least one worker for every to checkout lanes and my target. there 12 checkout and one worker. and so this this worker is trying to help. you know, folks who were less tech savvy, figure it out. while someone may be trying to bombard them with a cart pushing through to steal items. >> the bill would also require stores to conduct a study before they can implement any technology that would reduce the number of workers that they need. the bill is headed to the state assembly right now. >> we have new details now emerging after a woman was
7:36 am
found dead at a home in san jose. police say that woman and her suspected killer who is now in custody, by the way, knew each other. police responded to reports of gunfire at that home on north 20th street right near san jose high school at about 6 o'clock monday night when they arrived. police say a man barricaded himself inside and it wasn't until hours later that they finally negotiated his surrender. police say that's when they went in and found a woman with serious physical trauma in that home. she sadly died at the scene. the exact cause of her death is still being investigated. >> we're still trying go through the entire investigation, determined you know what occurred in what order? that's again, part of the puzzle that we're trying to put together. we just know that was one last life that we didn't architect is again, are doing outstanding job trying to figure out what happened. what went down. do have the suspect in custody and we're just working together to make sure bring justice for the victim and her family.
7:37 am
>> well, officers say the suspect also shot a man before police got there. that victim was treated at the hospital for minor injuries. identities of the 2 victims and the suspect have not yet been made public and 7.36. and right now investigators are still trying to figure out the cause of this fire that started on sunday night. >> in oakland, they have figured out where it started. it was at this lumber warehouse at the economy, lumber company on high street right off of 80 that the fire first broke out. you can see how quickly it spread. crews got out there. they were still out there yesterday putting out hot spots and investigating. the tesla factory in fremont is being sued by hundreds of workers who allege severe harassment against black workers at the facility. the court documents say the black workers said that their higher ups had called them the end word and fellow workers refer to the plant as the plantation or the slave ship. workers also say they saw anti-black graffiti
7:38 am
