>> it is sad, another life gone. >> these along one of the main thoroughfares in antioch. one died and two others were injured just last week when these routers -- when these cars crashed across this road. it was a close call for ryan. >> if it wasn't for the tree, it would be in my backyard. david: seems like -- stephanie: seems like this have been a sad reality in this area for years. according to data from the california highway patrol, at least six people have died and more than 110 have been injured in accidents along the street since 2015, a dozen of whom were left with serious injuries. >> there has been a lot of accidents because of the speed. >> people going 80 miles per hour on james donlon. >> sometimes 100 miles per hour. david: paper dave velasquez says he has witnessed two crashes into his own property.

>> that's why i have rocks there. it is getting worse. david: is it getting worse, and where? records from the california highway patrol bran lies and found that the accidents happened the most frequently at three specific intersections, lone tree way, summersville road, and contra loma boulevard. each one had more than 20 accidents in recent years, more than most across the city. pedro murray -- pedro ramirez says he is scared to have his children walk down the street. >> one time, one of my daughters all most got hit by a card over there. david: present -- stephanie: residents have asked for the speed limiter be reduced to 45 miles per hour, but say the signs have not changed. but as the eye team found, speed reductions may not be enough. 22 have recent collisions on this road involved alcohol. 29 were reported as hidden runs. a call reported for

all season long tomorrow morning, so let me show you where freeze warnings are going up. 1:00 to 9:00 a.m. in inland valleys and the hills. temperatures will be in the mid to upper 20's for the coldest spots, so frosty and freeze will damage tender plants and outdoor pipes. we have a frost advisory for the bay shoreline and the coast for 1:00 to 9:00 a.m. tomorrow. numbers will be right around freezing to just above, so any frost that forms could damage sensitive lands. you want to cover them up. this morning, 28 in santa rosa, 29 in fairfield, low 30's napa, livermore. 35 degrees in san jose. we will be back to let you know how cold it is going to get in all other neighborhoods, coming right up. dion: sounds like a plan. alameda county is ordering the parent county of marshalls and t.j. maxx stores to pay $2 million for the unlawful

disposal of hazardous waste. the waste included items like aerosol cans, batteries, and cleaning agents. state law requires those items to be labeled and put in segregated containers. the parent company issued a statement saying, "we have made a significant investment in time, processes, and resources to strengthen our regulated waste disposal program." dan: the triple to make you keep hearing about is making for a rough holiday season -- the tripledemic you are hearing about is making for a rough holiday season. earlier today on getting answers, a doctor with ucsf said there was one thing in particular people can do to protect themselves, and it is simple -- wear a mask. >> the surgical masks work better than nothing but not that well, the cough masks are nearly worthless. if i don't think about it, i will wear my kn95 if i am in a private indoor space. that is protecting against flu

and covid. we have not seen a flu epidemic in the past three years because people are masking. that we are seeing it come back because people are taking their masks off and their bodies are not as good at fighting flu as they used to be. yes, a mask for everything. dan: interesting what he said about cloth masks. rumors and false information keep people from doing the big thing everything had to -- everyone can do to protect themselves, wear a mask and get vaccinated. dustin dorsey explains the damage it is doing and not just for covid. dustin: spreading faster than gossip in a high school hallway, health rumors have been circulating in the community almost as much as covid, flu, and rsv cases. doctors say those myths are putting people at risk. why do these rumors get to you as a medical professional? >> because i really want to keep people and the population healthy, meaning that i don't want them to get seriously ill. stephanie: -- >> misinformation has led to

mistrust, patients who will not see or will not listen to their doctors. that is especially true with vaccines. >> vaccines do keep people away from the hospital, they do keep people from dying, and in that way it is an unqualified success. i feel so fortunate to be in this time where we are able to save all those lives. dustin: a new study by the commonwealth fund says 3.2 million lives saved thanks to covid vaccines, and santa clara county shows this and other measures kept their death average lower than the state's and country's. still, some say masking and other covid productions have heard our immune systems and are causing the flu and rsv surge. next there is no evidence that not being exposed to viruses has somehow decimated your immune system. in fact, the reason why we are seeing a lot of viruses now is because we have not been exposed to it, our immune system hasn't seen it as a population. dustin: viruses like polio and

measles, which have returned in part to vaccine rumors, once again highlighting these dangers. >> it is really difficult to take care of people who have not really taken advantage of all the tools that we have. particularly if they -- because of misinformation or disinformation. dustin: dustin dorsey, abc 7 news. dion: the ceremony to induct any members into the california hall of fame happening now. the 11 at -- of the 11 inductees, almost half have ties to the bay area. let's go to tim johns, who is in sacramento at tonight's ceremony. hi, tim. tim: hey, dion. we are here in the shadows of the state capitol building. going to show you this crowd building all around. there is a lot of excitement tonight for the 15th class being inducted into the california hall of fame. some of the most famous and accomplished people in our state

[laughter] larry: he was so funny, but also a great mind in the world of football, and he is going to be sorely missed. at one time he was talking that a game in which the receivers had a hard time catching, and he said if they are not careful, they are going to be like a t-rex, like evolution. their arms are going to get shorter and shorter. you could ask him anything, his favorite candy, he would give you 10 minutes on his favorite candy. dan: so young. dion: coming up at 8:00, catch a
