4:30 am
good morning to you. 4:30. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> and i'm marla tellez in for jon kelley. we begin this morning with breaking news. it's happening in milpitas. a construction worker is killed during overnight doing road work on interstate 680 near scott creek. damian trujillo is live at the site which may soon be declared a crime scene. >> reporter: this happened about 2:41 this morning. the crews were working for caltrans, not as employees but for a construction company that contracts with caltrans. they were picking up the cones and the road signs here when a silver nissan veered off the
4:31 am
road and struck them. right now one lane here on northbound or two lanes on northbound 680 remain closed. let me bring in officer ryan field. what do we know? the silver nissan veered off the road. >> preliminary reports show that the nissan veered off the roadway and drove on the right-hand shoulder striking two contract workers and their vehicle on the right shoulder removing a road work ahead sib. >> reporter: one of the workers was pinned in between his car and the nissan, the driver of the nissan had to be extricated. >> that's correct. one of the contractors that were working was pronounced dead on scene. the other was transported to the medical center with injuries. the driver was extricated from the vehicle and also transported to san jose regional medical center with life threatening injuries. >> this might be considered a crime scene?
4:32 am
>> if -- we have an investigation we need to do, we're not sure if ui played a role in this or not but if it did then yes, it would be a crime scene. >> reporter: thank you, officer, highway 680 northbound here a couple lanes will be closed for a while, while they do the investigation on this accident. live along 680. damian trujillo, "today in the bay." >> tragic scene there. one we'll continue to follow. mike inouye is following what this means for people that could be driving through that area. >> good morning. we're looking here toward 880 and mission and i'll explain why that plays a major part. let's look at the maps. the bay area very light. the bottom of the screen the south bay san jose silicon valley. traveling north on 680 toward the scene where damion is, there is scott creek road outside milpitas into fremont. two of your northbound lanes are blocked. we saw slowing in the southbound direction because that is where there was a distraction by all of the flashing lights and that is generally the commute direction into the south bay out
4:33 am
of that area. for the time being until we hear about lanes being reopened and we don't know when, use 880 to the north as you get to mission boulevard, then use the cut over over to 680 around that scene. typically it takes about 90 minutes when this happens this early in the morning but if it's a crime scene we're looking at longer, maybe a lot longer depending on the circumstances. at least 6:00 a.m. till they reopen is my estimate. no official word from chp. back to you. >> thank you, mike. there is more breaking news we're following, this one out of the east bay. police in hayward looking for a man who shot a woman. it happened on sleepy hollow street. bob is live with new details for us. good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning. the problem for hayward p.d. they do not know who they are looking for, they do not have a suspect in this shooting nor do they have a description of who
4:34 am
this person is. it was around 11:00 last night that someone called 911 to report hearing gun shots, the first officers on the scene found a woman lying on the ground in an apartment complex at sleepy hollow and tennis son. she had been shot multiple times no. one was with her. she was by herself on the ground. she has been in surgery. her injuries are likely life athletening. they hope they are able to talk with her because right now she is the only witness to her shooting. she might be able to give some lead as to who shot her and why. so far police know of people who heard the shooting but not anyone who saw it or witnessed what might have led up to. p.d. will look into whether there may a been an argument beforehand. bob redell, "today in the bay." >> 4:34. a health scare at stanford university has employees sanitizing dorms after more than 50 students have gotten sick. the university health accident
4:35 am
running tests but thinks the norovirus is to blame. 52 students in the same dorm came down with norovirus type symptoms, vomiting, headaches and diarrhea. though health experts say this is the time of year when norovirus outbreaks happen it could be several days before they pinpoint a source. crews cleaned a dining hall. >> it's 4:35. the man who lit up a crack pipe during a deadly car chase will be back in court for sentencing. eric banford was convicted of second-degree murder in july after hitting and killing a motorcyclist during the chase two years ago. this is branford's third strike and he could now face 40 years to life in prison. his previous convictions include involuntary manslaughter, voluntary manslaughter rather after he punched a victim in a drug robbery in 1991. the man accused of opening fire at a store inside san

comfortable later on. mostly the upper 70s to low 80s. and then the changes come into the mix as we get into the weekend. i'll get to the forecast. the good news, we get to sleep in an hour before we come back on monday. >> that's right. with all of the extra hour, but then they take it away later. looking here, for 101 through san jose, a lighter volume of traffic. a little tiny difference in speeds. no concerns here. just road crews throughout the south bay. damian trujillo continues to cover this deadly crash. north 680 at scott creek road. from the top you see the yellow creeping in down to 58 miles per hour through the area. but again, the brighter lights and the investigation continue, blocking two lanes thb. it's a distraction southbound which tends to be the commute direction. north you take 880 to mission boulevard, then cut back over to 680 up to the tri-valley. again that's traditionally what we call counter commute which
4:40 am
follows this direction for the arrows through the tri-valley and the east bay. no problems right now. we expect a build but the crash at scott creek could be there for a couple hours. looking to the rest of the east bay, a smooth drive to the bay bridge toll plaza no. problem for the maze. live at the toll plaza, there's no backup now. that will form lighter and later again for friday, then midday, but remember the time change christina talks about on sunday is going to change the lighting which will change possibly or morning commute. you have another change. >> i think this is cool. you'll get the opportunity to soon walk or bike the bay bridge from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. bridge officials decided to implement the specific hours when daylight saving time ends and it starts getting darker earlier. a spokesman says if you want to walk or bike the bridge get there before 4:00 p.m. to give yourself time to walk the 4-plus mile route. the new hours will last until march.
