both directions from a construction accident involving live electrical wires that stranded thousands of drivers. a crane smashed into a pg&e electrical tower overnight at a construction site between anza boulevard and millbrae avenue, leaving live wires on the roadways and causing a massive traffic backup. those wires carrying 115,000 volts each were actually laying on top of some of the cars. the driver of a ups truck on the southbound side was trapped in the northbound lanes. people inside at least eight cars could not move because of the danger of being electrocuted. all this began around 9:30 last night. >> we had a collapse of high energy lines that came down over both sides of u s1 01 north and southbound. at that point we had to shut down traffic and divert traffic off the freeway and then call the appropriate resources in place so we could mitigate this. >> they are still down and they are still hot, apparently,

because people tried to cross the overpass as they were shutting down the freeway and the cops up yelling at them because if they touch any of the fencing over there, they could get killed if it's hot. >> all the people who were trapped got out safely and no one was injured during the entire ordeal. traffic, as we said, was backed up for miles. and here is more video of those people trapped inside their cars in the southbound lanes during the incident. abc news reporter sergio quintana called one man on his cell phone. >> yes, the tower over here, the powerlines were knocked down across the highway and they are now across the lanes both directions, all lanes. >> how long have you been there? >> since 9:30, so over four hours now. you told me you are hungry? >> yeah. [laughter] >> well, the chp partially opened a lane to allow the cars with wires over them to drive

away once those wires had been de-energized. but how is it looking right now. we will check in with frances dinglasan. >> northbound traffic is jammed through san mateo, moving at 5 miles an hour. basically across southbound traffic also backed up through millbrae. of course, avoid 101 all together. consider 380 and 280. this is going to be a major disaster and make for drivers on the peninsula today since they don't have an estimated time of reopening. i did speak with the chp earlier and they said maybe by noon. so if you are headed to the giants game, your best bet is caltrain today. also, you may want to consider bart if you are head today sfo. plan on a lot of extra time. if you have to go anywhere near the area. here's a look at the waze traffic app for you. you see it crawling in both

had an inkling of what was in store for them after the game, especially those heading home on 101. frustrated drivers vented on social media. lisa posted this picture tweeting i have been sitting in traffic for 1.5 hours. so close to the exit. viewers posted this cell phone video, as well as pictures of the incident. you can see that crane responsible for pulling down the tower. the tower itself is crumpled over at the top, kind of like someone on the ground lassoed it and pulled it. some still pictures. and then some of the massive backup. we want to see your photos and videos. share them with us on twitter, facebook and instagram with the hashtag abc7now. breaking overnight a shooting closed down all northbound lanes of 880. this car is peppered with bullet

you heard it from carolyn. weather-wise, we also have some changes. we have a cooling trend that starts today. the clouds move in and we even had light rain reported in santa rosa. most of the rainfall will be to the north of us. and over the past hour we even saw some isolated thunderstorms near chico. but they are only going to get about a tenth of an inch as well and we are hoping for sprinkles. from the exploratorium camera you see the gray skies, low clouds and fog. temperatures right now in the 60s. san francisco it's currently 65. oakland 69 degrees. very warm for those triathlonners that are going to start at 7:00 this morning. water temperature also fairly warm for us. it's about 62 degrees. i was in the bay yesterday and i didn't freeze when i got in the water. mountain view 68 degrees. san jose 66. morgan hill cooler at 61 degrees and half moon bay 64 degrees. so here we see more of the fog and the low clouds in emeryville

and more temperatures in the 60s. santa rosa 64. napa 66 and upper 60s through fairfield, concord and livermore. relative humidity is high so it's feeling a bit muggy but things will change by this afternoon. the golden gate bridge look here. we are still keeping the chances of morning showers until about noon. sharply cooler this weekend, and then below normal highs through next week. wednesday and thursday will probably be the coolest day. here's a look at the forecast animation. you see the extensive cloud cover. you see the areas of light green. that's the best chances of light rain, mainly north of ukiah and along the coast. we will keep it in the forecast and by lunchtime it all goes away, the sea breeze kicks in and that helps drive numbers down. cooler weather for all of us. also heads up if you are headed to the at&t park for the giants game today. again, avoid 101 at all costs. looks like it will be closed pretty much all day. your alternate is 280 but that

could get backed up so take caltrain or bart. if you are heading to the airport give yourself a ton of extra time. once you get to the game it will be comfortable at 70 degrees. but even though it will be cloudy, you still need the sunscreen. san jose 80 today. mill fetas 9. near 80 redwood city and also mountain view. millbrae at 74 degrees. along the coast we will see the breeze kick in, 20 miles an hour, 68 in the sunset district n the north bay numbers also coming down by about 10 to 15 degrees. sosa nopa the high 79 today. napa 80 and ukiah 80 degrees. t-shirt and shorts in the east bay with 76 in oakland and 78 in union city. and only the 80s today in the inland areas. livermore 102 yesterday. today 84. so that's much more comfortable. so here's what's going on upstairs. we had the area of high pressure. that brought us the heat. that is going to continue moving

east and in its place we are going to have low pressure moving in, bringing us the cooler numbers this weekend. the cooling trend continues into next week with live doppler 7hd. you will notice by wednesday and thursday we will be below average. so hopefully you can enjoy the break from the triple digit heat. i certainly will. we will see more of the typical fog and low clouds return. our more normal pattern. >> sounds good. thank you, frances. let's check out sports. after a week of practice in colorado, the 49ers l. play their third preseason game later today. the niners take on the broncos in denver, kickoff 6:00 p.m. this afternoon the giants play the cardinals at&t park. first pitch 105. here's rick quan with the highlights in this morning's sports.

>> good morning. called up to fill in for an injured joe panik, giants second baseman tomlinson is making the most of his chances. thursday he had a grand slam, and last night he dame through with the game-winning hit. after taking two out of three from the cubs, giants fans feeling pretty good. marlin bird got them off to a good start. in the third he gets a grand slam. their eighth of the season. the most ever in their team history. we go to the fourth. after a mistake, it kept the inning alive. a stanford product rips the liner off mike leake. two runs score and the lead down to one. the cardinals pulled even in the sixth. leake throws a pitch in the dirt and buster posey can't handle it. he comes home to make it 4 a piece. and in the ninth. throws to first for the double play. then in the bottom half, tomlinson comes through with the bat. he singles up the middle with the bases loaded. the giants win it 5-4. the dodgers also won. so the giants stay 2 1/2 games back in the west.
