politics for decades is marking a personal milestone. mister mayor willie brown joins us live in studio this hour, just ahead of his 90th birthday. his take on a life in public service and the state of the city today from ktvu, fox two news. >> this is mornings on two. >> good morning and welcome back . >ñ i'm gasia mikaelian and good morning i'm dave clark. it is tuesday, march 19th. >> that breaking news we are following all morning. a deadly collision that's backing up traffic right before the bay bridge in oakland. ktvu there with new inn about what led to the crash. james >> garcia and dave, let's talk about some of the traffic implications first, imagine, thf the area is affecting almost every driver that comes from the east bay going into san francisco this morning. so if you haven't head out the door and this is direction you need to go, you certainly want to try to get that commute started right away. i mean, this is

backing up not just 580 but also 80 coming out of berkeley and el cerrito. certainly the 24 highway as well. and here's all why. you can see these two cars behind me. you see the van, the white van and what looks like a black bmw here. both of these cars were just two cars that were just driving to the bay brl plaza, having nothing to do with an investigation earlier this morning. i'll turn you aroundc over to this white truck here. and what we're learning now from cerrito police department. this white truck was involved and a burglary at a tobacco shop in the city. we actually just heard from the tobacco shop owner just a minute ago. we can take you live there right now where you'll see a big hole into the shop this morning. that owner telling us that the truck just rammed into the store and tried to steal basically anything. they canc take a listen to what he had to say to us this morning. ñ> they rammed it and they were going probably ten,c 15 miles an hour slammed in there, half the car was inside the store. they

came. they drove out of it a little bit. they jumped out, got some bags that they had, it looked like they had some other stuff in their car. it's kind they were just ransacking thee.- place, took cigaret packs off the rack. whatever they can get their hands on, fill up their bags and took off. >> i'll take you back. live out here again. we are just on 580 westbound right before you get on to 80. right before the bay bridge toll plaza. here's a result of that crash. you see the cigaret cartons all scattered throughout. there aree lighters as well. i've seen bills of cash that are on the on the on the street here too. these cars are going to be here pretty much up until the police department and the chp can finish their investigation. in fact, they say that the coroner's office is on the way, but they are stuck in this traffic, too, just like anyone else trying to head into san francisco, going to work, going to school, you name it. i do

want to offer one little correction here, because i did say that the traffic was affecting anyone who was coming out of el cerrito and berkeley. actually, if you're heading from 80l from that part of 80 into the bay bridge toll plaza, you might actually have the easiest commute this morning. but it's really anyone who is coming from 980 coming from that connector on 580. that is where you'll have lots of extra minutes to account for before you actually getc to the toll plaza toll, bay bridge toll plazal i should say, once you get there, you'll be francisco. now, of course, we are still keeping in contact with the police department and the chp to give us some more updates. as their investigation goes on. we know that the passengers and the drivers of every other car, all in serious condition. this morning, one person has died as a result of this crash. darcy and dave will send it back to you. >> let's get straight to traffic , sal. >> all right. james and garcia, thank you very much. we do have a huge effect on the morning

commute. highway 24 is stopped, essentially, as soon as you come out of the tunnel. the best way to get around this is to get off highway 13. here, use ashby avenue all the way down to the 80úfreeway. and if you're in oakland and you want to get to the bay bridge, do not use 580. use interstate 880 instead. that would be the best. call more morning, people have heard about this who come in from contra costa county and they're avoiding the caldecott. but there are more people on 80 through richmond and into berkeley as a result. and this again, was a deadly crash. we'll have more on the rest of the commute comingúup now at 705.t& let's go to steve, who has today's weather. >> all right. thank you sir. well, i dusted off an old video of fog. wait aúminute. that's this morning. here, look at that big fog bank out there. i mean, huge 40s, 50s on the temps here.úeveryonegs almost every reporting stations reporting either overcast and that's a lot of low cloud deck.

that's going to lead to some cooler weather. big changes we'e more day. i think of some low, low 70s well inland but 50s and 60s closer to the coast. spring officially starts tonight, but it may feel more more colder over by the coast and bay 5060s to a couple of low 70s on those temps. >> all right, steve, thank you. time now. 706n well happening today. the cityúof oakland now considering a new strategy to deal with abandoned cars and other vehicles on city streets, that's after complaints that removing abandoned cars right now takes several months. the city $250,000 to sweep the whole city. theúplan would set aside money for a dedicated parking management analyst at the oakland city council, is due to vote onúthis measure at. anor item on the council meeting today will require the alarm companies to confirm a crime has been committed, or is being

committed before police can be sent out to that area. the president of the california alarm association says the proposed policy, called verified response,úwould jeopardize public safety. he also says the policy has already been tried and repealed in cities including san jose and dallas. it is 707. oakland mayor xiang tao says crime is trending down in the troubled hegenberger corridor of oakland. howard. that's after several restaurants in that area, including in-n-outc burger and denny's, recently said they're closing their restaurants because of safety concerns. the city responded by sending out six police officers on foot and one sergeant, the mayor said during the past four months, the numbers show there's been a sharp drop in car thefts and burglaries, as well as robberies and focused on making arrests when warranted. >> while reducing and preventing

crime in the entire city, the chp will continue to conduct unannounced search operations alongside our law enforcement partner agencies, and the chp says it has 72 officers in the oakland office as 65 officers may be added. >> the port of oakland and the alameda county sheriff's office now running 24 hours a day. >> new this morning, investigators in hayward are working to learn how a suspected trespasser got inside a home that later caught fire. >> my brother just said back, please. >> this fire happened around 1030 last night inside a home on shell gate circle. when firefighters arrived, they rescued a man from inside the home. he was taken to a hospital for treatment. fire investigators say the homeowners were out of the country and that no one . a united airlines flight bound for japan had to return to the gate at sfo due to a mechanical

problem. a live look now at sfo. united airlines has just sent ktvu news. a statement says the flight was set to take off for osaka shortly after noon yesterday, pilot announced there was some type of engine problem. this is the eighth maintenance issue involving united flight flying in out of sfo in >> our time now 709 later today, telephone customers will get a chance to speak out about a plan the state public utilitiesrvice. commission will hold two virtual meetings to hear from both customers and fromc phone compay representatives. at&t says it no longer is cost effective tot& maintain landlines because there just isn't muchúof a demand for it. the people fighting for landlines includes a landlord in the sacramento area who was born with a severe case of hearing loss. >> the reason the landline is

probably the most important for me is it's clear versus the internet line. as the static. it comes and goes, it fades in and out. >> now at&t is stressing it still will be offering landline service. any customers who makes the case that it is essential to their life? >> time now is 710 and we've been talking all morning about the problem on 580. i'll give you a brief recap on that. 580 has is down to oneúlane as you come up on the macarthurúmaze because of a deadly crash right at the maze. this is affected. 580 and 24 the best way to get to the bay bridge is 880 or interstate 80. and avoid 580. now we do have to talk about some of the other commutes around the bay area.újust to let you know what's going on. highway four is slow as it normally is. 680 is not all that slow. i think more people will be on 80 to try and avoid getting into the caldecott tunnel. some of the other commutes, like the south bay

commute, it looks pretty good here in san jose. there's a little bit of a usual slowing getting into the west valley with no major issues. so again, the main problem continues to be 580 in oakland. we'll have another report on back to the desk. >> okay, sal, we have the latest from san francisco about the tragedy that struck a family that was waitingúfor a bus. we tell you how the community honored their memories and a lot of outcry over an off the field move by the san francisco giants. >> why? a beloved, familiar voice will no longer be t the ballpark. and kelly has two choices... a honey baked ham that's been slow smoked,

hand glazed, and spiral sliced. or, a kelly baked ham. nobody wants a kelly baked meal, not even kelly. every bite is a celebration with the honey baked ham company.

430 this morning, only one lane out of actually allowed cars to flow through. you can seeúbehind me here what the scene looks like now. those cars all involved three different cars involved in this crash are now loaded up onto tow trucks and will be getting moving soon. that white truck that you see there, that is the truck. the suspected vehicle, if you will, that el cerrito police say was involved in a burglary earlierc this morning. and i want to show you exactly what it is that they did . they tell us that they were coming chasing them from el cerrito, called off the chase at one point, but then that white truck went on on the westbound lane of 80, ended up making a u-turn. right where you seec those traffic signal signs. not the bay bridge toll plaza, but u-turn, come up the wrong way up 580 and ended up crashing into two cars. what, one that looks like a large white work van, and then a small black bmw that has resulted in one person dying at the scene. i want to take you

now. live over to el cerrito here. we'll show you the shop where this all started. it's a local tobacco shop here where the owner us that white truck rammed into their shop, caused the problem, took as much stuff as they could, and then ran off. listen to what he had to say. >> they rammed it in. they were going probably ten,ú15 miles an hour. slammedúin there. half the car was inside the store. they came. they drove out of it a little bit. they jumped out, got some bags that they had, it looked like they had some other stuff from probablyúanother burglary in their car. it's kind of hard to tell, went in there. they were just ransacking the place. took cigaret packs off the rack. whatever they can get their hands on, fill up their >> now, as aúresult of that burglary, that robbery, this is what officers and officials have found cartons of cigarets, lighters. we even found some cash blocks of wood. pieces of wood as well,

that just flew out of the truck here. and then as a result of that crash, of course, we have the backup along 580 that is finally starting to move again. we've talked to some of those passengers, or rather some of those drivers who have been stuck in this traffic for a long time, 55 minutes from home. com? concord.t& >> concord? yes. >> how long have you been waiting in traffic? today. >> so far, two hours. we've been a track for two hours. yes, sir. wow. >> have you been told what's happening, well, i was, listening to the news, and i know that a cigaret truck hits a somebody, and. yeah, some fatalities happen, so. >> well, now, the hardest part of trying to get this getting ts , cleared to be towed away here. now, they're all loaded up on the trucks. you see the officers spwho are cleaning up some of te debris so they can get all three lanes open here. they say they expect that to happen within the

next 30 minutes. so that is somewhat of the good news of this morning. however, if you still haven't the door, if you're still on the roadway at this point, certainly expect the traffic to still be very tough headed into san francisco. i mean, this is going to commute. this is going to be a commute that's going to affect everyone from the east bay heading westbound in this direction here. and that's because it's been shut down for so long. so there's a lot of residual traffic that will be felt for quite a long time here. but at least this point, thist& roadway will be reopened in just a little bit. of course, we'll let you know exactly when that happens. and of course we'll bring you more updates when police give us some figure thate live this morning right along 580 i'm james torres. we're going to send it back to you. sal, who has some more information on how to kind of spwork around getting your way getting through today? had a major effect, james, on the tour, on the traffic on 580 and also on highway 24. let's put it up on the you that 24 had

that i should get out ofúthe south, that i wouldn't last very long because i talk so much andc the white people in acceptable.h and my mother finally relented, and i had two jobs to do if i got here. i had to get into college, and i had to join church and i literally at each step got out guidance from my uncle and from others to achieve thoseútwo things. my mother demanded. and the results were translated intoúmy being interviewed by you. >> that's right. well, that's important to let me just ask you a couple of quick things. one, the current state of san francisco, when i ask you that, how would you respond? the current state? well it's no different, frankly, than what it has been year in and year out over the last almost, 60 years of my life. >> san francisco goes up and

down and it moves. and it's because of the constant change in the population in. and san francisco is a small space. yeah. and believe me, in the small spaces, people do unusual things, some positive, some negative. but in san francisco, mostly positive and enjoyable. >> okay. are you getting involved in the mayor's race? >> yes i am, i am supporting the current incumbent mayor. she started with me. i know she was an intern in 1996. wow. and then of course, all the years of her movement up the ladder and my ultimate exit, we have been interacting and we spstill interact once orútwice a week. >> okay, now i know you've also been involved in presidential politics, bill clinton, so many others through the year. do you advise joe biden now? >> well, no, not really some ofe

difficult for him to just be available to talk to old friends. we are old friends and, and, and he is, in my opinion doesn't have he doesn't have the speaking ability of obama, and in some cases, he had superior in almost every other category except selecting people for the supreme court, because he gave us a participated heavy duty and given us clarence thomas. and it. yeah well, anita hill wanted to take him out and wanted to join her, but not biden. he literally did the job he was supposed to do as a us senator. >> mr. mayor, you are my friend, my mentor, my adviser.úi can always call on you. but, you

haven't had people getting through. in fact, it's light. it's artificially light, if you will. people have not been getting through on 580 because of that serious wreck. you can see the traffic is light. howeverl some people have been using interstate 880 as you drive up towardúthe coliseum. very heavy traffic. so 580 has been put in a bind this morning. they're still clearing the last bit of that wreck. it's also affected highway 24. so thist& whole thing you're wondering the normally at the toll plaza are. they're right here on 580 and they're right highway 2t. that by far has been the biggest traffic problem of the morning. now, how about the weather here, steve? >> sal thank you sir. we are rounding third and heading for home on winter because spring startsútonight at 806 and man, it looks like a summer fog bank out there. this is a huge one sfo andd to yesterday, over tot- from june. no no no that's march 40s, 5ps. almost every location

is dealing with some low clouds. i meanc it's made a huge march inland here, which is going to translate into cooler temps. i think for most i held on to a some upper 60s in a few areaset- well inland. i'll probably do that tomorrow becauseúchange is on the way. it might as well be spring and it will be by tonight and then near the coast is not going anywhere. sunny, breezy inland, but 5060s by the water. upper 60s or low low 70s inland. i trimmed back some of the eyes. there's too big of a fog. more of the same, if not cooler. taking us into thursday. rain arrives friday after earliest. would be probably late morning, more likely afternoon, evening and again on saturday. >> steve. thank you. the house catches fire in hayward. the discovery firefighters made inside that led to even more concern over what happened. plus another name on the list behind sean connery, roger moore, pierce brosnan, daniel craig, the british actor who appeared in an avengers movie and as reportedly been offered the retiring silicon valley filf

oakland, the driver headed in the wrong direction, tied to a burglary before slamming into another vehicle. we're live with a deadly outcome and the impact on drivers this morning and battling blight in oakland. one contributing issue abandoned cars. but one lawmaker has a plan that aims to fix that problem. and a staple of american homes landline. they're tumbling now. not many people are using them. and while one phone company wants to end the service, you'll hear from those who say landlinesúare their lifelines from ktvu, fox two news. >> this is mornings on two. >> welcome to mornings on two. at 8:00 i'm andre senior, i'm garcia michael and it's tuesday, march 19th. we continue to follow the breaking news now on that deadly collision that's backing up traffic just before the bay bridge. ktvu james torres has more on what led to that crash. james, what can you tell us? we could see the wrecked vehicle right behind you . ago. i want to show you the bay bridge toll plaza first, because

we did just get word that the 580 to 80 interchange there isc now back open all three lanes. now back open this morning. you see the traffic finally flowing through here. that's still going to lead to some residual traffic. so even if you step oul take you a lot longer than normal to get across the bridge and head west into san francisco. now we are at the bay bridge toll plaza, where we see that suspect vehicle, that white truck you seeúbehind me here, just mangled in the front. they brought the other two cars involved a total ofúthree cars involved in the crash this morning, around 430, we're told it was this white truck that slammed into a taco. a tobacco shop here in el cerrito ended up robbing the place. they hop into that truck, come down this way. go the wrong way. on 580. and then they started that crash here. we'll show you some video of that tobacco shop. what we saw earlier this morning. there's now just a large hole in the middle of the front frame of that shot. the store owner there

tells us that he's been robbed about 5 or 6 times, and he thinks this time the worst it's ever looked might be the moment that puts that that that store under. >> they rammed it in. they were goingúprobably ten, 15 miles an hour,c slammed in there. half te car was inside the store. they came. they drove out of it a little bit. they jumped out, got some bags that they had, it looked like they had some other stuff from probably another burglary in their car. it's kind of hard to tell, went in there. they were just ransacking the place, took cigaret packs off the rack. whatever they can get their hands on, fill up their bags and took off. >> so that truck makes an escape. el cerrito police start chasing after it. they call the. they call off the chase eventually. then that white truck gets on to 80, headed towards san francisco. coming from el cerrito. makes a u-turn right before the toll plaza goes up the wrong way on 580, hits

two cars, killing the driver of one of those cars who was just driving their way, across the bayúbridge here. and then that led that we have seen since about 4:00 or 5:00 this morning, that traffic was stopped for part of it. there was one laneúof traffic that was flowing through for large majority of this morning, we talked to some of thoset& drivers who were stuck in this traffic. they say for and wheree you coming from? concord. >> concord? yes. >> how long have you been waiting in traffic? today. >> so far, two hours. we've been in traffic for two hours. yes, sir. wow. >> have you been told what's happening, listening to the news, and i know that a cigaret truck hits a somebody, and. some fatalities happen, so. live here to the bay bridge toll plaza again. that suspected truck right here behind us,

getting loaded onto a tow truck here. the investigation from the el cerrito police department and the chp still not done at this point. they usually wait until they are finished with the investigation to clear the scene. but because we were on 580, a freeway that so to get ty started, they decided to move what they had over to this area to get that freeway open, to get the traffic flowing, and now they'll pick up their investigation from here. so 580 westbound, westbound side over crossing the bay bridge. but again, traffic is still going to be tough for at least the next couple of hours here. let's send it over to sal castaneda. of course in the traffic center, who could give us a better idea of where you can work around, aw much traffic is still left. so yeah, a lot of it is. >> james, even though the lanes are open,úit's going to unwind. highway 24 is also pretty slow. it's backed up through the tunnel now as people are stuck

in traffic. 13 is a mess. the a. so when you take out one of the major thoroughfares to the bay t happens. a lot of people have been using interstate 880, the spnow. and just as we suspected, now that people are getting through, more people will start filling this in as youúdrive into san francisco. so aúlot of people will be behind schedule. but again, all those lanes are open. now let's talk about today's weather. switch gears and go to steve. >> thank youúkind sir. all right. good morning out there. look at all that fog. just look out your window. you probably have unless you're too far inland. man, that's a big fogt& bank out there, i don't see how temperatures are warming upc today. there's a much bigger fog bank. 40s, 50s on the temps. i think this is probably going to do it for some inland 70s, unlessúyou don't get fog, because there's just too much there. changes are on the way in multiple ways, not only bigger fog bank, more of an onshore breeze. so spring fever, spring

fever is hitting us, but not until 806 tonight. and man, it looks like a summer fog bank, that's for sure. we'll go with 5060s and one more day of 70s, and i think it'll be all 50s and 60s, you guys. steve thank you. >> 806 now happening today. oakland will consider a new strategyúto deal with abandoned cars and other vehicles on city streets. many oaklanders say it takes the city months to remove abandoned cars. the city council will consider spending $250,000 to sweep the entire city for abandoned vehicles. the plan would allocate money for city council is set to vote on this measure atúthis afternoon's meeting. another item on the agenda would require alarm companies to confirm that a crime has been committed, or is being committed before a police response is dispatched. the president ofc the california alarm association says the proposed policy, called verified response, would jeopardize public safety, says the policy is already been tried and repealed in cities, including

san jose and dallas. >> well after two well known restaurants cleared out of a section of oakland because of crime, city leaders have been doing what they can to rid the area of trouble. the city responded by deploying six officers on foot and one sergeant. it comes after a number of restaurants in the area, including in-n-out and denny's, recently announced they're closing these locations because of safety concerns, the mayor announced. during the past four months, the numbers show there has been a sharp decline in auto burglaries, thefts and robberies. >> our commitment remains strong and focused on making arrests when warranted, while reducing and preventing crime in the entire city. >> the chp will continue to operations alongside our law enforcement partner agencies. >> chp says it has 72 officers in oakland, and as many as 65 officers could of oakland and ta county sheriff's office say they have now surveillance cameras

plan to end landline service. the state public utilities commission will hold two virtual meetings to hear from both customers and phone company representatives. at&t says it no longer will offer. it's no longer cost effective to maintain landlines because there isn't much of a demand for the service. and according to the federal government, about 73% of american adults live in households with no landline but at least one cell phone. in 2022. still, there are those fighting for landlines, including one landlord in sacramento with a severe hearing loss. >> the reason the landline is probably the most important for me is it's clear versus the internet line as the static it comes and goes, it fades in and out. >> at&t, stressing it, still will offerúlandline service to any customer who makes the case their safety.d a landline fort- >> cover it up. time is 810 now and the bay bridge now. people are getting to it. i'm going to show it to you here.
