transferred via helicopter, their injuries unknown so far. it broke out a little before 5:00 a.m. this morning. we're keeping tabs on what's going on there. we don't know of other injuries right now but they had a tough time fighting that. looks like firefighters have it finally at least closer to being under control. >> great work by the firefighters there. also we can tell you closer to home san francisco police are now talking to the mother of a baby who died at a san francisco general hospital overnight. the child was brought to the emergency room just after midnight. the medical examiner right now calling this death, quote, suspicious. >> we are waiting for firefighters to tell us if the driver of a car that went over the twin peaks vista early this morning made it out alive. the car went over around 4:30. it started a small grass fire before coming to a rest near the reservoir below. >> police in san jose say a drowsy driver they call this a drowsy driver drove into the side of an apartment building.

question. check your chicken. if you have foster farm products right now, look at the packaging and if it is marked to have one of these combinations your best bet is throw it away. they are on the screen. the last line. they are p6137, p6137a, and p7632. we have listed this information on our website so in case you missed that you can log on any time to nbcbayarea.com and search foster farms. an estimated 278 illnesses have been reported recently in 18 states, though most of the sickened are in california."q-w department of health and the spokesperson tells us about 200 cases have been reported here, she could not say where specifically or which stores are selling the chicken. the foster farms website says its chicken is safe to consume if properly handled and fully cooked. fully cooked means 165 degrees inside so if you're not sure it

does not hurt to break out that thermometer and make sure your chicken reaches that 165 degrees. salmonella can be deadly so you don't want to take chance you think you have been infected if you havenn severe cramps, diarrh diarrhea, a fever within 72 hours you need to get to a doctor immediately. i do want to point out some good news. we just actually got a call from a viewer in santa clara. she says she purchased foster farms chicken from costco and it does have one of those numbers on it and she has been cooking it and feeding it to her family. everyone is -- >> they haven't been sick. >> no. >> good morning, though, because it's in our wear. >> i would still suggest throwing it1) away. >> absolutely. common sense. >> thank you very much. thanks for that viewer as well. appreciate hearing from you. also talking about b.a.r.t. this morning, there is still no deal but no strike plans as well. b.a.r.t. and its unions will resume talks in a few hours.

peaks neighborhood, a report of a car that went over the side of that famous vista. our chopper there over the scene brought us these pictures. san francisco fire telling us the car went over the side just before 4:30 this morning, ended up near the twin peaks reservoir. emergency crews say the incident sparked a small crass fire that was quickly put out. at this point we're not sure if anybody was hurt. we have asked firefighters at the scene if the driver was able to make it out of the car. all they could tell us at this point is that it's too soon to tell. >> live outside this morning, a crisp, cool start and a beautiful sun rise. that's a live look over the south bay in san jose. checking in with meteorologist christina loren. she has a look at our warm-up. >> yeah, it's going to be a nice afternoon. we'll rebound nicely from where we are now. temperatures are going to stay steady but we're going to be running cooler than where we ended up yesterday.

but the difference between right now and later on today, you'll walk out the front door close to the upper 30s, up in the north bay. it's going to be chilly. when you walk back through the door after a successful day's work temperatures will be perfe perfect. so taking a live look, mostly clear conditions over the bay bridge. gorgeous conditions here. temperatures are chilly, look at novato, 41 degrees. same for petaluma. throughout the day you'll see those numbers start to warm by 10:00 a.m. for instance in san jose we'll jump to 54 degrees where we are now into the mid-60s as you break for lunch. this area of low pressure just to our north is going to usher in a cooler day overall. we are expecting light showers as we head through tomorrow. let's talk about that and take it to your futurecast. i want to stop the clock as we head through tomorrow morning you'll notice the showers up from the south. that's the way the system is going to work as it tracks to the south, it slowly is going to

see a little bit of where it sidles down the coast but offshore and moves back up. so it's an interesting weather system. that means if you do live in the south bay you've got the best chance of seeing sprinkles as we wake up tomorrow. we're not expecting a lot of activity but we're picking that up on most of our futurecasts. ÷ though, areas norh of the golden gate bridge so one of those opposite effects we see here. and the whole thing blows out of here into the lake tahoe region throughout the second half of the day into the overnight. this is going to purify our air quality. also talking about temperatures not dropping off that much so staying nice and moderate as we head through the next few days. 73 in fremont, 75 today in san jose. 77 degrees in santa teresa. in detroit, where the a's only have one more game to win to advance in the playoffs, going to be nice out there. game starts our time 2:00 p.m. 64 degrees the first pitch down

to 62 by the fifth inning. whether or not coming into play, light winds, they are going to be blowing in the direction of home plate, though. so those winds in the face of the batters. could get thering out there. into wednesday and thursday, temperatures comfortable and they will climb. so mike, you had quite a traffic tuesday so far. is it calming down? >> it's calming down but like you said traffic tuesday, everybody else now heading to the road so we'll see how this plays out. here is the south bay. speeds in the 50s heading up to saratoga. we're focusing on this areasgçç san jose. 280 shows the slowdown. 87 into downtown and 101 as well. the earlier crash has cleared at 680. now we have a little bit of a slower flow up to san jose international airport. there we go for the south bay. the tri-valley, your build for 580, 680 southbound went from the yellow to the orange as you
