station so crews then had to manually switch cars for most of the morning and that means the cars would have to slow down and that caused delays up to an hour for passengers who are heading south of daily city. delays of up to 10 minutes continued throughout most of the morning. in the santa cruz mountains a light but steady rain has brought some runoff. abc 7 news was in the area burned by the loma fire with dry soil and all the trees and grass destroyed by the fire so that the water doesn't soak into the ground. the good news is there's no major flooding or mud slides. >> a produce truck overturned on 101 in san rafael that snarled traffic for drivers this morning. abc 7 news reporter wayne freedman in north bay with the details. wayne? >> reporter: larry, big story in marin county has been traffic, between 6:00 a.m. and noon. the chp reported 30 separate accidents. after that they say they have had at least another 20 more, more like the at least part. this would be accident number 21 that happened a few moments ago. we're at lucky drive and clearly

question now is really whether ronnie lott and his group with or without eddie debartolo jr. who maybe involved, can come up with a stadium deal in oakland, and is the mayor going to help, or is she just resigned to holding on to the a's at this point and the raiders leaving? on the vegas side, the nfl is extremely concerned about casino boss sheldon adelson having an ownership stake in this team. fairly certain that the league doesn't want him in their exclusive club so we have to see how that shakes out and i know some people, a lot of loyal fans of the silver and black locally, are really upset right now with owner mark davis. he's gushing about the vegas vote, but what you have to understand here is he's got to say this, okay. davis, he pledged full support for the carson project. he was ready to go to l.a. in a heartbeat, full speed ahead. mark davis would go to neptune if they would build a stadium for him up there. clearly vegas has momentum but this is not a done deal by any

means. they could still get something worked out in oakland, but it's up to them to get it done. >> today's vote was delayed by two hours because of a fire burning between reno and carson city. nearly two dozen homes have been destroyed by the fire still burning out of control. oakland firefighters tweeted this picture as they headed to nevada to help fight that fire due to concerns over high winds. firefighters from very much did a are also assisting. 50 homes have been evacuated because of another fire burning near emerald bay. the fire has burned 200 acres and 500 homes near south lake tahoe are under a mandatory evacuation and another 500 have been asked to voluntarily leave. coming up on "abc 7 news at 4:00,". >> you don't think that anybody in this day and age would do something like that. >> the surveillance video that caught two students in the act. what they were doing that shocked the campus. and check this out, a judge takes down a defendant in his
