thunderstorms pretty much over. i'll show you more coming up. here is jobina. >> starting off with the bay bridge toll plaza, metering lights came on at 5:07 this morning. you can see those wet conditions out there. looking at a backup because of a crash in the tunnel at treasure island. i'll keep you posted on how things look there. i have a report of flooding in oakland, this is eastbound 80 to eastbound 24 in that area, that's where you can expect to see some standing water. a three-car crash in concord, 242 before solano, there's a backup now. going to leave you with a live look at the toll plaza so if you're headed that way you know what to expect. breaking news in san francisco, police are investigating a deadly crash on treasure island. >> it happened on 9th street and avenue h. that's where julian glover is live with what we know. good morning. >> good morning. what we know so far is that the

weapon? if you're going to get involved in a dangerous situation, a conflict kind of thing, you better be compensated for your efforts. >> those are issues they would study because this would be a pilot program. after six months they would re-evaluate, listen to riders and decide how to move forward from there. the hope is that having more people watching for problems will make riders safer on the trains. if this passes today, you can see them on the trains starting next month, mostly between 2:00 p.m. and midnight when most of the issues happen. reporting live from the pleasant hill b.a.r.t. station, amy hollyfield, abc7 news. >> thank you, amy. abc7 news devoted a week to covering b.a.r.t. as part of our series on building a better bay area. we talked to riders and the people in charge of making b.a.r.t. better to see what changes are coming. you can see those stories on our website, abc7news.com.
