of the initial crash. the cleanup made even more challenges as crews worked to disassemble the crane throughout the day. >> be patient. we are working as fast as we can. we have a large number of personnel. >> reporter: two of the westbound lanes are now back open to traffic. those eastbound lanes not expected to reopen until about 8:00 or 9:00. however, that is subject to change according to the chp depending how long it takes for this cleanup to happen behind me deie dion and dan, this is holger way. it is parallel to the highway as drivers are making their way east connecting between north 1st and zanker road >> chris, thanks. we have sent out updates about the traffic conditions all day long through the abc 7 news app. you can customize the app to get alerts about the places and

topics you're interested in so when news affects your life, you will know about it right now. now to an abc 7 i team news exclusive. what will be the strategy for the young man in san francisco in the stabbing death of an italian police officer last summer. >> dan noyes joins us live with more. >> reporter: i have stayed in contact with them asking for an on-camera interview. for now they have sent written responses to the issues i have raised. i'm here at the airport. the press will ask three an elder if he wants to make my comments. i was there this summer when ethan elder arrived there from san francisco to see his son finn for the first time since the death of the police officer. i was there to see him leave the prison near the vatican offering no comments on the crowd of international media. upon returning home, the elder's

lawyer read a prepared statement on behalf of the family. >> we look forward to our truth coming out and to our son coming home. >> reporter: ethan writes finn was assaulted at 3:00 a.m. they had no guns, badges or handcuffs. finn was on his back being choked and was fighting for his life against a man nearly 100 pounds more than them he thought the man was trying to kill him. he panicked and fought. leah adds finn has told the same details since the moment he was arrested. he said we didn't know they were cops and hasn't changed the story at all. they were in rome on vacation when they went looking for cocaine. after police broke up a drug deal, they were caught on surveillance running with a backpack of a man police identify as a pusher. the pusher called police and set up a meeting with the teens to get the backpack back.

it was the officer and his partner who showed up. in the struggle, finn elder pulled out this marine-style combat knife and stabbed the officer. the autopsy shows 11 wounds. the elders told me it was like seeing their son in the prison for the first time. after being heartbroken five days before for the death of the officer, i did not realize my heart could break again. it did. at the end of it, i was glad to see my son alive and left realizing what had been put forth in the media wasn't true. leah wrote i am destroyed, utterly destroyed at a tragedy that can be undone. they want you to know their son is a kind, intelligent, caring person. finn is efpl net ig, highly emotionally intelligent and associatable. he has a wide group of friends, both male and female. he loves the ocean, cars, music, and sports. i have also reached out through

her lawyer to the officer's widow for an interview. she has not responded. they discussed how a classmate had to go to the hospital with a brain injury after an argument with finn when he was 16. dan, thank you. a class-action lawsuit claiming fast track unfairly charges toll evasion penalties is in limbo tonight. >> a judge "post" phoned the trial until she can decide whether to throw out the entire legal team that brought the action against fast track and golden gate district. >> we have the very latest on this fascinating case. >> can you hear the clock tick something. >> oh, yeah. >> absolutely. the judge set a new trial for january 2nd, just one day before the statute of limitations runs out. if the trial doesn't begin then, the case could be dismissed. fast track operators are claiming the legal team who brought the lawsuit should be

thrown off the case. the attorneys saying the lawyers improperly interviewed a former fast track employee. the class-action lawyers say they did nothing wrong, saying this is a delay tactic to jeopardize the case. you may remember the lawsuit claims fast track charged thousands of motorists who crossed the golden gate bridge unfair penalties. many never received toll invoices and penalties piled up, sometimes into the thousands of dollars. if the judge disqualifies the attorneys, it would probably mean the end of a class-action lawsuit altogether and would end the possibility of relief for thousands of motorists who believe they paid unfair penalties. the judge said she will rule by new year's eve. >> all right. thanks michael, very much. a look now at live doppler 7. it is clear now. that won't be the case for long. this weekend you will see it light up with green as the rain rolls in. abc 7 news weather anchor

here. >> reporter: deborah mitchell is picking up food for her family at the berkeley food bank assistance program today. some of the supplies here come from the alameda county food bank. >> i don't have enough money to buy the food. so therefore, with this program right here, with the money that i have, it just makes the whole thing just come in a whole circle together. happy holidays, everybody. >> every dollar we are able to give $7 of food retail value. >> reporter: it's amazing to think here in alameda county one in five people need some form of food assistance. in berkeley, eric thomas, abc 7 news. vaping-related injuries are starting to go down. now there is no information what may be the cause of that. also ahead --
