good morning. thanks for joining us. i'm carolyn tyler. chp is investigating a crash on highway 101 in burlingame that killed a man who was riding a bicycle on the freeway. the accident shut down traffic lanes until early this morning. it was shortly before 11:00 last night that officers arrived to find all northbound lanes blocked at broadway and a man dead at the scene. investigators say it appears two cars struck the bicyclist. northbound lanes were closed during the investigation that lasted just before 1:00 this morning. that caused a major traffic back-up but things are now back to normal. some students are waking up with bumps and bruises this morning after a railing on a set of bleachers collapsed at at&t park. this is video we shot seconds after that collapse. the railing apparently gave way

under the weight of all those fans. some students went over the edge and fell on players below but there were no serious injuries. they ordered people that were still standing on the exposed ledge to move back away from the overhang. we spoke with one student who was hurt. >> i got pushed really hard from the back. >> bleachers on the field so our team would have that behind them >> the game was the championship playoffs. again, no one seriously hurt. mike shumann will show us game highlights a little later in sports. >> two fans are in critical condition following a post game celebration at the end of college football's big 12
