semis, at least one of them anyway, was fully loaded. they're calling for another semi to the scene from that company to help offload that and get all that debris so they can tow that semi out of there. no estimate on when we will get that open but, boy, this is going to be a major problem for this morning's commute. a crew on the way to the scene. likely it will take them longer to get there and set up. for now use dublin canyon road for an alternate. traveling towards the castro valley. if you're coming from further out than that i would head south on 680 or north depending where your final destination is. that is still looking great and wide open at this point. it's only going to get worse from here. or mass transsit a decent option. another traffic update in a few. hi, everybody. a changing of the guard that's going to happen today. gone the heat and humidity, back

us to believe our facilities were the cause of the fire. belmont police need your help tracking this man down. surveillance video shows a man burglarizing belmont vape tuesday around 9:00 a.m. it's a vape bar. at one point the suspect hears the manager at the back door, which he kicked in earlier. the suspect runs and hides and then kicks out the front door to get out of there. you're about to watch it happen. police don't have a great description. they say he's between 20 and 30 and has short, dark hair. considering another step in cracking down on fare evaders. it's a proof of payment fare checking system. community service officers would patrol trains and stations with hand held fare inspection devices. officers would inspect everyone on a car or in a given station area. the fine is $120 for adults, $60 for juveniles.

it is 5:30 and sky 7 is live over interstate 580 in castro valley this morning. that's where a deadly crash is causing a major problem for the commute. >> abc 7 news reporter amy hollyfield is on the freeway heading there. drivers can expect major delays in that area. >> reporter: natasha, this is a mess. i highly recommend avoiding this area. we aren't even moving. we just got onto the freeway. they have opened one lane and even that doesn't seem to be helping, at least where we are. we are at a standstill. we are on westbound 580 where we have been told a big rig is wrecked and there was a fire and there is a fatality. so you can expect it's going to be this way for a while. in fact, i did just check in with the chp to ask when they think they're going to be reopening this, and they haven't even given estimated time. it is encouraging they opened one lane at least so some cars

can get through here because at one point it was completely shut down. they have opened one lane so people can attempt to get to where they need to be this michael jordan but it's not looking good and as we were going against this traffic we just saw lights and cars that were stopped for as far as we could see. i mean, a huge backup already at only 5:30 this morning. this just happened an hour ago. you can see people -- the car in front of me right now looking frustrated, for a way out. i don't know what he thinks he's going to do but he looks like he's going to try something. lots of frustration here as people are at a standstill. for this morning's commute. i'm going to toss it over to alexis who can give us more details on how this looks from up above and how you can avoid it. alexis, what can people do? >> like you said, you do not want to get on westbound 580. total gridlock and i did check we to about seven miles now, that does reach the 680

interchange all the way coming into castro valley so this crash, again, happened about 4:15 this morning, just before you get to the eden canyon exit. they did open one lane. we had all lanes blocked for about 45 minutes. really that is barely a lane that we have open. essentially they've opened up the off ramp and folks can get around on the off ramp and swerve back on once they get past the crash scene. we're looking at this front semi and this is what i believe happened according to chp. that broke down in one of the lanes around 4:10. unfortunately, it looks like folks did not see the semi in the middle of the roadway. there is a vehicle crunched in between this semi and the one behind it. the person in the middle did not survive. that's why we have this fatality investigation. we likely are going to have at least some lanes blocked for at least a couple more hours here this morning. so quickly flip over to my traffic maps and show you what this looks like there. it is just a solid line of red. so dublin canyon road for an

alternate. if you are heading out of the dublin area or if you want to head north on 680, i just heard from one of our viewers. she said she took that herself and that looks good. of course if you're heading to the south bay you can cut south on 680 out of dublin and avoid that stretch. much more on this as we continue throughout the morning. right now mike nicco. >> thank you, alexis. good morning, everybody. when you step outside you notice a little bit of a difference out there. besides there not being thunderstorms and loud booms to wake you up. it's cloudy and cooler. there's some drizzle to be had through at least 9:00, around the bay to maybe even 1:00 at the coast. probably going to have some delays at sfo. follow me live at mike nicco abc 7. your 12-hour day planner. drizzle through 7:00. low to mid-60s at the coast with more sunshine there than we had yesterday. look at the temperatures, upper 60s at noon. find you a patio to have lunch on. 71 to 74 at 4:00. low to mid-60s by 7:00. cooler weather. autumn is coming.

state senator jim bell tells our media partner "the mercury news" the toll increase is intended to address traffic congestion. more than 600,000 cars enter and exit the bay area any given weekday. he says that number will only grow. the money raised would pay for improvements to reduce congestion on bridge corridors. it would cost weekday commuters as much as $700 more every year. all glass containers including beer and wine bottles could soon be banned at san francisco parks. the city's board of supervisors is going to debate this plan next week. it's the result of the persistent trashing of delores park. the board's public safety committee signed off on the proposed ordinance yesterday. they scrapped the plan to create a fine of up to $1,000 for littering at delores park. critics say it could unfairly penalize low-income residents. an alert citizen credited with helping san mateo police arrest a suspect on an attack with a woman.

sky 7 where we have a major problem westbound 580 in the castro valley area. this is a fatal crash and we have a lot of things going on this morning and likely a long time before we get this totally wrapped up. one lane is getting by. that's an improvement. it was fully blocked tore about 45 minutes this morning. but we've got some major damage to one of those tractor-trailers involved in this. it was a three-car crash total. they're bringing in another semi to offload that before they can get it towed out of the way. we're hearing a lot of fluid on the roadway. they're going to have to bring a caltrans crew in and then wrap up the fatality investigation as well. it's tough to see. there's a vehicle pinned in between the two semis. it started with the semi in front that was disabled sitting in the middle of the roadway. so very large emergency response still on the scene, very large backup as well. i'll show what you this looks like. a stretch of 580 that usually

you're okay at this point but this is a major sig alert with one lane getting by. you can head north and take crow canyon road. if you are heading in the south bay direction that's a better bet than getting on 580 or dublin canyon road is an alternate as well. just whatever you do don't get on westbound 580. 6 miles an hour approaching -- up to 27 miles an hour as you inch around that collision. obviously just a terrible situation on the roads this morning. a few other areas, this is our only major problem. now let's check in with mike nicco. all right, alexis, thank you. hi, everybody. we'll start with how it's different this morning from yesterday morning about 1 to 6 degrees cooler. so where does that put you? our north bay neighborhoods where it's still 60 in santa rosa, novato, 61, along with napa and american canyon. tomorrow a few 40s for lows. even cooler tomorrow morning. low to mid-60s just about
