9:00 am
>> from the bay area's local news station. we begin now with breaking news. >> we're starting the 9 o'clock hour now with still traffic accident in san jose that's really causing a mess involved big rig on its side and strawberries everywhere. crop was michael thomas has been following the scene. good morning, michael. >> hey, good morning, everyone. that's red strawberries everywhere. it's important to note that everybody in the situation is safe. and i actually just spoke with the driver's father, looks at the driver who was driving this big break filled with strawberries was heading towards richmond from salinas. took that curve a little bit too fast. take a look. actually, we'll send you over this way. you can see that's exactly where that big rig it's tipped over. this is at the connector of northbound 101 heading onto northbound 8.80. so again, everybody is
9:01 am
safe and the situation. but as james said, shoppers everywhere was carrying 40 1000 pounds of strawberries and will put the camera over towards some of those strawberries. you can see they've been emptying out this big rig all morning. they started at 7 o'clock. this is just half of what they've already emptied out. what they're doing is putting all the strawberries here, then putting it into a dump truck taking onto northbound 101 and heading over towards the dump. it's unfortunate that they all are going to waste. but the good thing is is that everybody is safe when it comes to how long these roads are going to be closed we're not sure because as you can see, they're still taking strawberries out. going on the 3rd hour. once they get those strawberries out, they still need to get this big rig right side up, clean up the actual road because during this accident, they also the driver did hit some of the sand buckets which went on to the opposite connector 80. those heading onto northbound 101. so they're both closed. so once the strawberries are taken out, that truck is lifted up. these roads will open back up. they also have
9:02 am
crews out here on standby, caltrans to clean up the actual mask because there is a lot of essentially now jam here on the ground because they're pushing all of it as they're trying to get it all out south. it is a big mess and it does smell a lot like strawberries. but the good news is is that everybody is safe and these roads hopefully will be opened up. i would say at least buying new, but that is the very latest here in san jose. and michael thomas story engines that will send it back to you. >> huge operation saw that strawberries to cook has so many troubles problematic. yeah. thank you so >> michael problematic. logistically problematic commute wise for everybody trying to get where they're going in the southwest. check in with rain. arvin. look at some alternate and just see how bad the backups are. yeah, it's been a big mess. all of our highways impacted by this. unfortunately. >> that connector route one, a one to 8, 80 81 to one on the northbound side. both closed as a result of that. the traffic has been backed up the past 4, 5, hours now was
9:03 am
originally saying 6.80, into a good alternate now saying take those surface streets, at least until the traffic along those highways starts to die down. all the bridges and highways bay bridge. 19 minutes traveling into the city this morning, 70 over down from 30 to 22. so that's progress. the richmond, sandra fell bridge 13 minutes and the golden gate bridge. 37 of tolls, 30 minute john, thank you so much. rain, all that sunshine at the golden gate bridge. what a change from yesterday morning. at the same time. >> we kind of said goodbye to that cool ocean breeze like it was yesterday and temperatures are going to start climbing now taking another perspective of the golden gate skies. crystal clear, not a cloud in the sky out there and same all the way up and down the coastline. now, we will see that all day long today. if you're heading out to the giants game in san francisco, winds will pick up just a little bit around 20 to 25 miles per hour. not bad, though, when paired with some 70's were downtown. san francisco will be later today. brentwood in pittsburgh right now. you're at 67, oakland and
9:04 am
berkeley still hanging out right around 60 degrees later on today. as i mentioned, a lot of 70's to low 80's making their return and we get warmer from here talking that in your forecast. back to you. thanks a lot. john is 903. and happening today, convicted murderer scott peterson returns to court. >> for his second of 3 motion hearing. yeah, the group representing peterson is asking the court now to perform dna testing on pieces of evidence that were found near the peterson home. at the time of the cross kron four's will tran has been fun is live from redwood city along with media from around the nation. good morning. well what's going on? >> well, right now it is happening not only today is happening right now. it started at 9 o'clock this morning. i can tell you that he is being represented by the los angeles innocence project and they're hoping that the judge, by the end of the day, and we expect this to go on all day that the judge will force prosecutors to turn over
9:05 am
evidence which they want to do. dna testing. scott peterson has claim for the past. 22 years, believe it or not, that he has not. he was not the killer of laci peterson, that, in fact, he did go fishing to the berkeley marina his wife was alive at the time when he left that, in fact, he claims she was abducted and they at los angeles innocence project. they are pointing to 2 things. one is a burnt orange van found near the peters home peterson's home in modesto. and a mattress found inside that van. they wanted to do testing because they believe if lacey's dna is found side that van, it proves that scott peterson was not the killer, that she was abducted and therefore he deserves a new trial. prosecutors say during the trial, by the way, he was found guilty at this same courthouse 2004 20 years ago.
9:06 am
the prosecutors say that they had an airtight case that peterson did not show any remorse during the trial afte- the trial that the case is over, that they should not be here and they will not turn over the evidence, evidence and less. the judge rules that they have too. so lots going on today. it is a huge day, james and area for scott peterson because if the judge rules in his favor, that obviously moves him closer to possibly getting a new trial. and if the judge says no, according to many legal experts, they could that deliver a fatal blow to his attempts for a new trial. >> fascinating. all right. well, thank you. >> and at 906, david de pap is also going to be in court today in state court. this time for the attack on paul pelosi opening statements happened this morning. he's charged in this state trial with attempted murder, elder abuse, residential burglary and other felonies.
9:07 am
prosecutors say that pap actually admitted to them and to authorities that he broke into the pelosi's home in san francisco with the intent of holding former house speaker nancy pelosi hostage. however, she wasn't home at the time. and as we know what ended up happening was he hit her husband, paul pelosi with a hammer in the head. this trial. this state trial should last about 3 weeks yesterday in federal court where he had already been convicted. he was sentenced and actually re sentenced 30 years in prison. >> happening right now, jurors in new york just begun deliberating in former president donald trump's hush money trial. our dc correspondent basil john has the latest. the case is now reaching a pivotal point. we jury deliberations and a possible verdict making this the most important week of the trial. >> kerry said this is a dark in america. the clock is ticking for former president donald trump as the arguments
9:08 am
are wrapped up in the country, waits for the jury's verdict. we have a trump was accompanied by his kids, eric and don junior and laura who all question the validity of the case involving hush money payments to adult film star stormy daniels by trump's former lawyer michael cohen. if there's a goat >> of liars is michael cohen. this is a case about politics, pure and simple. the entire country knows this is nonsense. the defense needs to convince at least one juror that the former president is not guilty. we new yorkers years to tolerate him when he was just another grubby real estate hustler masquerading as a big shot. but biden harris campaign surrogates, including robert de niro. >> 2 time outside the courthouse to talk about trump and the damage she does to the country is fighting for one person. that's donald trump's want to make sure the american people understand it is now up to the jury to evaluate the 34 counts of falsifying business records. and these charges are
9:09 am

9:31 am
trucks have common taken part of those shoppers out. so those are all going to waste. the driver is ok and now the biggest issue was just trying to get this big rig up on its right hand side and get these lanes open back up. they're hoping to tip it back over on its right hand side within the next 15, 20 minutes or so and then hopefully get those roads right back open. they do have crews here on standby to refill those stand. baskets are barrels as one would call them. and get this traffic moving when it comes to what i can i think brain it can hear me from what i can see here on northbound. 101 cars are still moving pretty sluggish. pretty slow. lots of looking a little but as we get more details from officials on when it will officially open back up, we'll keep you updated with very latest here in san jose and michael thomas, tara and james. we'll send it back to with the abolition. there's a lot to look 6 planes to slow down, but it's good. michael, give us the update. there is progress, at least in trying to get this thing back up on its wheels. let's continue our team coverage then. and reyna is in the traffic. yeah, that
