the chp is investigating the cause of a horrific crash involving a limo bus, two cars and a semi truck on interstate 880 last night. this morning lanes are finally reopened, but two people are dead, and yet another accident just happened on that same stretch of the freeway. thanks for joining us. i'm kristen zse. right now lanes are again closed on the union city/heyward border after an accident involving a motorcycle. but first we want to begin with the overnight cleanup and investigation of that deadly chain reaction crash last night. it happened on northbound 880

right before the whipple road exit. amy hollyfield is live in heyward with new information. amy? >> reporter: hi, kristen. we've been watching all morning. it's a bus busy thoroughfare. last night -- it's a very busy thoroughfare. last night traffic was slow and now look at it behind me at 11:00 this morning, it's still because of an accident that happened 45 minutes ago. the key is to adjust and last night the chp said the bus did not. it was going faster than the flow of traffic. the deadly accident happened at 10:40 and led to the shutdown of northbound 880 in heyward for almost eight hours. investigators say one bus started it all. >> we believe that there was a tour bus in the middle lane, and it came up to stop-and-go traffic. it collided with the vehicle that was in front of it. >> reporter: the driver of that

car was killed, but the bus didn't stop. >> the tour bus continued on, hit another vehicle and pushed that vehicle into the back of a semi truck. >> reporter: the driver of that second car was also killed. chp officers say they then had a long night ahead of them of investigating and clearing the road. >> we have our accident investigation team. they are recreating the scene, so that usually takes a while for them to make sure that they collect all the evidence. they take photos. >> reporter: this happened right before the whipple exit. all lanes were shut down, and look at the backup that created as the morning commute got under way. all northbound vehicles were forced to exit at avalrado niles road. they reopened the freeway just before 6:30 this morning saying they worked quickly knowing that commuters needed to use the lanes. >> there's a lot of pressure. we understand that any closure of one lane, two lanes impacts traffic heavily, especially when we have all the lanes closed.

we urge people to look for alternate routes. >> here comes a fire truck to respond to that accident. well, the coroner has not released the names of the victims. pardon me. that's very loud. the coroner has not released the names of the two people who were killed. we just know it was a man and a woman. the chp has not said why they think that that bus crashed, but they said they don't think drugs or alcohol were a factor. reporting live in heyward, amy hollyfield, abc 7 news. >> thanks so much. of course, you saw that fire engine likely reporting to the latest crash on 880 having an impact right now on traffic. this one happened about 45 minutes ago, as amy mentioned. it involves a motorcycle and several vehicles. abc 7p's morning traffic reporter alexis smith is here with the details. >> yes, and this is the fourth one of the morning really in the same area. northbound 880, i'll zoom in on the traffic maps to show you this. you can't see the backup, just

before industrial parkway that. has about a ten-minute delay approaching that scene. you're down to 11 miles an hour. let's check out some video from sky 7. this is a short time ago. so it looks like one of the vehicles, one of the cars involved in this caught fire. we know that we had a motorcycle catch fire in this as well and that's looking pretty charred. fire crews responding quickly and they very quickly swept up that debris as well so the latest from chp, as you can see, at one point we had all lanes shut down. we're down to the far right lane. that's blocked right now so things are starting to look better. switching back to the maps though, you can definitely use surface street and union city boulevard or mission boulevard for alternates. it's not terribe, kristen, like i mentioned, a ten-minute delay now that we're down to the far right lane blocked. >> thanks. this morning president trump is trying to cast his cntroversial visit to pittsburgh, pennsylvania in a positive light. he said his trip was well deceived despite widespread protests of his presence.

small protest was not seen by us, staged far away. before the president's visit the mayor of pittsburgh said the trip would be ill timed, and one of the victim's family even reportedly declined to meet with the president because of his comments after the shooting that the synagogue should have had an armed guard. however, a widow of one of the victims did meet with the president. >> she said that she wanted to be there in order to show him that people wanted him there. >> reporter: today more funerals are planned as the fbi tries to learn more about the shooter. it seems as though no one really knew the killer. on social media he's been described as a demon, but in person robert bowers seemed to be more of a ghost, no known family and no apparent friends. in washington, stephanie ramos, abc news. now to developing news from the east bay. water woes at a mobile home park in heyward. a busted water main has left neighbors without water since sunday. the seniors are now being forced
