what happened? he tried to pull it over? >> we tried to make the stop for excessive speed. the driver exited the freeway and continued on. our officers were fairly close, but collided with another vehicle. two dead. >> the driver was who trying to flee from us didn't make it. the other driver in the collision ended up not making it also. >> reporter: we understand the car caught fire and you had to pull them out? >> from what we are seeing, yes. the car caught on fire and officers opened up the doors and tried to get him out and they did. at which time the ambulance was here and able to take him to highland hospital. >> reporter: we see that several chp cars and oakland police as well.

new this morning, a big rig accident shuttings down several lanes of southbound 101. i'm bob redell working on cleaning it up. how long it will be before this is cleared up in a live report. >> a man fleeing for police in the east bay gets into a horrible deadly accident. an intersection is still shut down. i'm christie smith and we will fill you in on the incredible details that. story on today in the bay. >> good morning and thanks for joining us. >> 5:30 right now. we begin with breaking news. >> are two people are dead after a high speed chase in a fiery crash in the east bay. christie smith is live on the scene on mac arthur boulevard in oakland with the latest on what

happened. >> from the look of what's left, this was a horrible and loud crash. you can take a look at the scene for yourself. the car caught fire and it was laying on its side with a driver speeding on 580. lights and sirens trying to put him over and he refused to pull over. he got off the freeway and went down mac arthur boulevard. they were following about a quarter mile back and say he ran into the intersection at 10 sixth and mac arthur and plowed into another car and needed rescueing for the people he was running from. >> the vehicle was runing for us when it came to us and caught fire and the officers went over and start to pry the doors

before he got burned. >> he was taken to highland hospital and the person in the other car died here as well. i can tell you that the coroner has just arrived on scene. it really is quite a mess out here. the entire intersection is shut down with several chp cars and they are leading off the investigation at this point. they are not sure when this intersection will reopen. that's the latest from here live in oakland, christie smith today in the bay. >> thank as i lot for the update there. >> right now more break news where a big rig flipped over causing chaos on the 11 near the interchange. any injuries there? >> no, the driver is okay, but causing problem as fars a shut down. four of the five lanes on

southbound 01 as you look down at the big rig at 880 over southbound 101 here in san jose. this big rig was coming off southbound 880 on the southbound 101 when they misnavigated the turn and tipped over. four of the five lanes are shut down. chp is also shut down. southbound 880 on the southbound 101. if you are trying to get from southbound 101 to northbound 880, that is shut down. your transitions from 101 to 880 are shut down as of right now. the good news is if you look to the right, two to trucks are here on the scene. the drivers are trying to figure out how to get the big rig up right and out of here. it could be another hour if not less. the bottom line is it seems things are moving quickly as far as getting the big rig out of the way.

traffic is light right now. that's the lane that is still open. traffic is going through there. there is not much traffic so there isn't much of a back up. northbound direction there not any looky loos. northbound 101 is moving smoothly. given the time of the morning, doesn't seem like this is going to have much impact on the commute assuming they get this taken care of in the next hour according to chp. live here on southbound 101 here in san jose, today in the bay. >> good thing no one was injury and they could have it cleaned up. >> both of the situations are number and number two for mike inouye. >> that's right, brent and laura. those are huge issues. three or four lanes depending on which side of the interchange you are. one lane gets by and the light volume keeps things moving smoothly. you will get affected at the transition ramps. southbound 101 to northbound 880

and southbound 880 to 101. both of those because of the huge to trucks and the big rig that has to be lifted, we are expecting that to clear over the next hour, but in the next half hour to 45 minutes, that starts to increase coming up. 101 off of 680. that might increase as far as a spectator slowing. you saw the flairs and the flashing lights. avoid the area if you can. 280 as a great option and off of the 680 and 101 interchange and 87 up towards downtown and jumping back on north. 880 out of the south bay is moving until you get to oakland. things are starting to pick up as far as the volume. speeds around 60 miles per hour, but there is an accident there. 10 sixth at mac arthur off of the foothill interchange. foothill boulevard from 580. the off-ramp clear and the rest is looking good. we will follow this and traffic

is starting to build in this portion. >> thanks a lot. >> very busy out there. >> not as big of a deal on weather-wise. it's mild, but we see changes down the road. >> at least weather-wise, nothing getting in the way. let's show you the temperatures through the afternoon. at least more t-shirt day for most of the bay area. 70s to near 80 around livermore you will notice more clouds and an increasing chance of rain as we get closer to the weekend. we will have a look at that in a few minutes. >> thank you very much. the couple accused of kidnapping jaycee dugard 19 years ago will number court again today for a pretrial hearing as they face new charges in the case. phillip and nancy garrido are indicted on 18 charges including rape and false imprisonment. attorneys representing them hope to keep graphic unreleased details about the case sealed. dugard will not have to take the stand until the actual trial begins. they took then 11-year-old

dugard from a south lake tahoe bus stop in 1991 and kept her hidden in their antioch home for years. >> next week the san francisco board of supervisors will take their final vote on whether or not to ban toys from all kids meals that don't meet nutritional standards set by the city. the "today" show is taking on that controversial measure that claims the fight of childhood obesity. many bay area dieticians are skeptical if that ban will really help. >> the toy is not causing us to be fat. what's causing us to gain wealth weight is to make consistently poor choices and over eat compared to the aims we need and not moving our bodies as much as our bodies require. >> you can watch the rest of the story at the top of the hour on the "today" show this morning. >> jay leno will know what it means to fear the beard.

an unofficial spokesman will appear on the tonight show tonight right here on nbc bay area. when asked by reporters about tonight's appearance, he only had this to say. it will be legendary. no word on this. he is level going to be bringing the beard. he has no immediate plans to shave it. >> the raiders are doing everything to avoid being blacked out, including selling tickets at a discount. the team is offering two for one tickets against the kansas city chiefs. if the game is not sold out, they will black the game out and that means people in the bay area will not be able to watch it on tv. the silver and black are 4-4 on the season and trying to build a winning streak. good morning, folks. we are following the accident in san jose and in oakland, but let me show you the freeway through oakland. we will give you an update in

the next 10 minutes. it moves smoothly and the nimitz freeway looks nice and the volume is starting to increase through this area. looking nice through this portion of the commute. not showing major issues. an 18-minute drive off of the bridge down towards that berkeley curve. typical build up there and building up for antioch where you see the initial slowing past g street fors horizon lane. that's the spot where you see the yellow chicklets. it happens here right on schedule. livermore with no major issues and a 14-minute drive over the next half hour to 45 minutes. the yellow creep over towards north first by the time we get to 6:30. things are moving nicely and an update on the sigalert. back to you. >> 5:39 and an al qaeda cleric is using you tube to get his

sentence out. >> mehserle will be in court tomorrow and we will have a look at what to expect before the apprenticing hearing. >> forbes magazine has the latest list of the most powerful people in the world. president obama is not on top. we will tell you what who is. >> a look at the beautiful bay bridge. san francisco is packed with folks yesterday. a gorgeous day and another on tap. a change when it comes to the weather. 5:40 right now.

good morning. anice-looking shot outside coming to you from the south bay this morning. a look at the temperatures all-around the peninsula and the east bay.

pretty mild, but rob has his eye on change coming away. we will be checking in with him in a bit. >> election officials are soring out unusual events in san francisco. an nbc bay area news crew found a tabulator used to count ballots on the sidewalk in the tender loin. officials believe it was stolen after the memory card and ballots were collected. they found the piece of equipment on the street and that's unusual. it actually won't affect election results. there is as many as 75 ballots missing. a poll worker stole them. the theft may create complications. >> as we go through the process of counting the ballots, if something is close, certainly whoever is out on the winning side of a close race will want to know what it means. >> karl bradford nicholas was arrested for the theft.

he is not saying why someone may have stolen them. >> capitol hill lawmakers are wasting no time preparing for what's next. topping the list is slashing the budget and starting all over on health care reform. >> we have to do everything we can to try to repeal the bill. >> our friends on the other side learned that choosing the president over constituents is not a good strategy. >> before any work can be done in the new congress, the current congress has to decide whether to extent the tax cuts before the end of the year. time now is 5:44 and good morning. thanks for joining us. >> we will get to traffic and weather in about minutes, but first, former bart police officer mehserle will be sentenced tomorrow for killing oscar grant and faces 14 years in the state prison. a jury convicted him of involuntary manslaughter in july. he testified he thought he

grabbed his stun gun. with us is steven clark up early this morning. always good to see you. the judge will sentence him tomorrow. what do you think the judge is taking into account? >> the judge will look at a lot of factors and what makes it so unusual is the options before the judge. he can sentence probation up to 14 years. that's very unusual that makes this a very difficult sentencing case for the court. he is going to look at the impact on the victims and the family will testify in court and mehserle's family will testify and the judge will have to come up with a sentence. both sides have a compelling argument here for a stiff sentence and also probation. officer mehserle and someone with no record and never been before the court and a police officer in the line of duty, it's a very difficult case. i think the judge likely will come somewhere in the middle in the six or seven-year range.

>> any chance he could be spareed from prison completely? >> certainly the first thing the court will do is entertain a new trial motion. the defense filed a number of motions saying that there is new evidence in the case based on a similar shooting in another state and there was mistakes in the jury instruction and the sentencing enhancement for the use of a gun by a police officer doesn't apply in this case. if the judge decides to grant a new trial either on the whole case or at least on the enhancement, we won't have a sentencing tomorrow. clearly the court has the option of granting probation. i don't think that's going to happen in this case because the judge put officer mehserle in prison after the jury handed down the verdict. >> he could have made it a choice there as well. as well as the new case in ken tucky that is similar. >> exactly. it's a difficult case for the court and will be a very emotional sentencing hearing. >> thank you very much and good

to have you. >> thank you. >> we have another update on the breaking news out of the south bay we have been telling you about. an overturned big rig. today in the bay is live at 101 and the 880 interchange. i can still see they have a lot of flars set up, but it looks like driver are getting through a little bit. >> it's actually not having much of an effect on the commute. southbound 101 traffic is so light that all the cars are able to squeeze through. most of the traffic is on northbound 101 and moving steadily as far as looky loos. they are not slowing down to figure out what's happening in the southbound direction. what is going on in the southbound direction, you have this big rig that flipped over as it was coming off of southbound 880 on the 101. it is blocking four of the five

lanes. two to truck arrived on the scene and that's what you need to get it up righted. how can they up rate rite it without tearing the semy in half? they are estimated by around 6:30. this is moving pretty quickly. no injuries from the driver. he was okay. again, as you can see just one lane is open and southbound 101. if you are heading in this direction and need to get on to northbound 880, that part of the road is shut down and you won't have to change your plans. on southbound 880 and getting on to southbound 101, that's shut down and will require that you change your plans. bottom line is traffic is still moving relatively smoothly through the area even though only one lane is open. reporting live in san jose, rob redell today in the bay. >> that are is good news. thanks a lot. the interesting thing is this is not far from the studios.
