the northbound direction. this is just before 66th avenue in oakland. again, it's northbound. you can see chp there. the less a couple of other cars involved. you can expect this to last a while. so traffic is starting to back up all the way to davis street in san leandro. we are told. so that is many miles backed up and then stop traffic right there at 66th on 880 in northbound direction in oakland. so dan, at this point, people are being told to get alternate routes to get through. see how they're being forced off the freeway right there? >> absolutely. you can see the terrible damage to the right car there on the right-hand side of your screen and debris scattered all over the highway. a real mess. >> and even southbound direction is slow getting past that accident just because of people rubbernecking. you'll want to avoid this area, northbound 880 in oakland just before 66th avenue if you can. >> that's obviously going cause big traffic problems at the worst time of day for that.

abc7 news reporter wayne freedman is live on san francisco's lombard street with more. wayne? >> well, you can argue that in california, it might have started here at lombard street and tourist attractions like it. this is one of those places where if you stand in this spot long enough, the world will pass by. some of those folks are right here, right now. and little do they know that this crime is becoming a trend across the state. diamonds in the street, broken glass actually. a driver's worst friend, and these days they're the kind of calling card we don't want to see. >> common. >> very common. >> as in a crime epidemic. read the signs. and if you're parked in a popular tourist destination or on any public street, beware the smash and grab. >> don't they do that everywhere in any city? >> what have they told you? >> to don't leave anything in your car. maybe people are getting the message. san francisco police report that last year the number of break-ins declined by 3%. but that has meant bad news in

southern california where break-ins have increased by 30% or more. police say the culprits are some of the same gangs who have been working in northern california. >> they're becoming savvy. they know that this is very saturated out here, so they are trying to find different areas in california that are more saturated with vehicles and may not be expecting to be burglarized. >> in l.a.'s hollywood division, police say one oakland gang hit 40 different cars last april, breaking into them and handing the goods off to getaway specialists on scooters. >> it's our understanding that in the bay area, they're able the get about a thousand dollars for each bag of merchandise that they're able to trade. >> whether north or south, these crimes of opportunity leave victims feeling exactly the same. >> if i left this bag in there, nothing in it, they would break it just to see what was in it. they just don't care. there is no conscience. you know what it is? there is no consequences. >> though there may be some

changes and more consequences on the way. state senator scott wiener wants a change in the law that would make it easier to prosecute people who break into cars for felonies. in san francisco, wayne freedman, abc7 news. >> wayne, thanks very much. one of the toughest parts of building a better bay area is dealing with the housing crisis. but new numbers show the number of vacant homes in the bay area could make a difference here. this idea came to light because of a group of mothers occupying a vacant home in oakland, trying to challenge an eviction order. new data from the census bureau estimates there are just under 6,000 vacant homes in oakland, enough to house the city's roughly 4,000 homeless residents. by comparison, san francisco has well over 11,000 vacant homes with an estimated 8,000 homeless. and san jose is estimated to have just under 4,000 empty homes and roughly 1500 people who don't have homes. abc7 news reporter luz pena is

the housing market. you will get individuals who will be greedy. that's human nature. but i think we create a situation. we've created an imbalance in the market that encourages greed. >> according to the census, san francisco has the most vacant homes in our region. san francisco 11,760. oakland, 5,898. san jose, 3,985. berkeley, 1,738. now let's move over to the east bay where there are close to 8,000 vacancies according to this census. >> what we typically see when a house stays vacant in our area it's just because the buyers have just started making it their own and have not moved in. we've seen them take up to a year sometimes. >> permits? that's another reason that experts say is a problem that's driving this all across the bay area. now at 6:00 p.m., we'll have data from real estate database

nation. when figured by the slice, just $1.36. annual spending on pizza in san jose was found to be $500 a year, which is also tied for the lowest. memphis came out the most expensive pizza city, costing residents there an average of $1300 a year. i know. and talking about pizza, little caesar's pizza might need to change their tag line from pizza pizza to delivery delivery. thanks to a new deal between the country's third largest pizza chain and delivery service doordash, the new service begins today. little caesar's is the third largest pizza chain in the united states behind pizza hut and domino's. >> now we're hungry. thanks, michael. >> good job. let's turn our attention to the back to week forecast. >> really easing on in today. a lot of sunshine. really comfortable temperatures.

tomorrow, though, we will track some showers. live doppler 7 tonight. it is clear as could be. look at this post sunset glow outside. a live look from our emeryville camera. just a beautiful shot. this time tomorrow, that is going to look a lot different, a lot of cloud cover and showers approaching. so we bring in the storm impact scale. we bring our storms here exclusively at abc7 from 1:00 to 5:00. give you a better idea of what to expect. and what we are tracking tomorrow night into early wednesday morning is a level 1 light system with light showers. look at the rainfall. it is really minimal for this time of year, less than a tenth of an inch. and the winds will remain light. a minimal impact storm headed our way. temperature-wise, we're here in the 50s. 52, novato. 59 in the city. 55 in oakland. 57 in san jose. and 55 in san ramon. overnight tonight with mainly clear skies. again, it's another chilly night out there. a lot of spots dropping well into the 30s. early tomorrow morning, we will track a little bit of fog working through the delta for

some. some visibility issues around concord and likely napa first thing tomorrow morning. but we'll break down the day tomorrow. the 12-hour day planner during the daylight hours, we are totally dry. you start off a lot of sunshine in the day. by four income the afternoon, we'll find more in the way of cloud cover moving in. and then it's likely around 7:00 p.m. we'll start to track the showers first arrive manage in the north bay. tomorrow during the day, it's a pretty nice day. temperatures mainly int the upper 50s. 57 in the city. 59 in santa rosa. about 61 in san jose. 58 the high in antioch. we'll track the rain for you. future weather midday tomorrow. a lot of sunshine. here come the clouds, moving in the evening. then by 7:00 p.m., as the cold front approaches, we'll first track the showers, very light intensity in the north bay. that front by about 10:30 at night tomorrow. moving to the heart of the gaye area. isolated showers. and then early wednesday morning, it is quickly moving out of here. so total rainfall with this really quick light-moving system, again, minimal rainfall

tomorrow night, early wednesday morning. most spots likely picking up less than a tenth of an inch. we'll watch that cold front to our north tomorrow on tuesday. late day clouds. an evening shower. that front moves through here. and on wednesday, it's a mix of sun and clouds out there. in the wake of the front, it is a cooler afternoon. and then this area of low pressure will bring us showers on thursday. here is the accuweather seven-day forecast. tomorrow sun and clouds. a shower late in the evening. wednesday, a mix of sun and clouds. there is a chance of showers on thursday and another chance coming here on saturday, guys. >> back into that pattern. thanks, drew. >> sure. all right. well, we will update you on a breaking news story in a moment. the big rig that's completely blocking northbound 880 in oakland near the coliseum. it looks like there are injuries possibly as well. woo el have more

back to our breaking news in the east bay where a big rig has shut down the northbound lanes of traffic on 880 near the

coliseum, as you look from sky 7. this is at 66th avenue. >> you can see there are at least two other cars that were involved as well. ambulance, drivers coming from east oakland and san leandro are just stuck in the backup. and as we pan, you can see it extends well past san leandro now. >> it's a mess. apparently it's a four-mile backup. of course, this is right in the heart of the evening commute. so it's causing a terrific traffic backup, four miles. look at that ribbon of headli t headlights winding down 880. >> since traffic is completely shut down at the accident site, northbound 880 there, they may be soon allowing trucks to get on 580, which they normally would not be allowed to do right now. but there is no getting past that area right now going northbound and even southbound a little slow getting to the scene and passing the scene there. >> and something else to notice. you can see the terrible damage to that white vehicle. we're still working to find out the extent of any injuries, if there are any injuries.

obviously there will be people shaken up at the very least. and this truck spread across all lanes of the highway as a result of this collision. you can tell from the scene all the debris on the road, the truck right in the middle of the road, it's still going to be quite some time before they clear this out of the way and get traffic flowing again normally. >> all right. so we've got our traffic computer up for you as well to give you a sense for how slow this is. purple means nothing getting past that is the stretch that's closed. and red means both directions heading towards the scene just very slow right now. so if you can, try to find an alternate way home tonight. >> it's going to be several ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪
