of k-rail off the off ramp, going at least 100 miles an hour. that stretch, by the way, exit supposed to be taken 35 miles an hour. this is video of the fire, the car on fire. firefighters able to take care of that. but they tell us offcamera, they've had to put out several of the kind of fires and have been here for this kind of accidents. we can confirm two people died in this crash. we don't know where these people are from. the chp officer said that it started in oakland, ran the plates, came up stolen, don't know from where, not revealing from where, that's when the chase began. right around the toll plaza they started chasing the car and said the car began to speed up with the new bay bridge tower is. coming off fifth street ramp incredibly fast and then crashing. we don't know the genders or identities or where these people

are from just that two people died. it started around 3:00. there are several chp officers waiting for major accident investigation team to come out here, coroner's office hasn't been out here. very preliminary. still trying to get information. but we do know this is the third crash in this area from this off-ramp in just a week and a half. last one a week and a half ago. that was a dui. but the pursuing officer, to give you an idea how severe this was, one point they may have been going up to 120, 130 miles an hour. but as soon as they saw this car trying to exit that fifth street off-ramp, they said forget it they gave it space, they kept going and slowed down and this is what happened. expect traffic to be tied up, the commute into the city's going to be pretty bad.

mike will have more on that later. but that's the latest from the scene. stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." >> thanks. >> we'll check in with mike right now for a look how that closure is going to impact traffic today. >> good morning. tragic story for the morning, two lives lost already. so many more impacted. going to be impacted by the traffic flow. right now the bay bridge itself, a live look on the oakland side, you see the incline moving up toward treasure island, where the speed started to increase for the car heading into san francisco, you can clearly see than the fog hovering above the deck of the bay bridge getting into san francisco. it's moving smoothly now. look at the maps, towards fifth, one of the first off-ramps into the city, things jam up. folks using ninth street and civic center past that. if fifth is not your off-ramp, that's the only net effect and slowing past the scene where the

closure, very early in the morning commute we'll see slowing and building traffic from treasure island into the area. early turn on for the metering lights, probably at the bay bridge. you can use b.a.r.t. under the bay bridge as your alternate to avoid that completely. also the rest of the bay looks smooth, look at san mateo bridge, another major alternate for folks southbound toward highway 92. live look at camera across the san mateo bridge, we should see a smooth drive. we'll end with this shot as we see. there's a glow to the light but was the high-rise across the span. i don't see phleroblems for her but it's drifting around. >> it's interesting about this morning, the fact the storm system brewing and making its way closer to the bay area. starting out in the upper 50s. widespread cloud cover. there is our weathermaker. i'll time the system out, let you know if we're expecting showers where you live. i've got to tell you, triple

plane to crash at sfo. after 11 months of investigate, testimony and paperwork, the ntsb released its finding yesterday what caused the 777 to go down. investigators call it crew mismanagement of descent and inadequate monitoring of speed. in other words, pilot error. the managing director listed 13 things contributed to the crash, all issues related in some way to the pilots. in fact, data from the black box shows the crew did nothing to address the loss of speed for 26 long seconds after the plane fell below the safe altitude and speed to land properly. >> automation performed as designed. did the pilots understand how it was designed to perform the board voted unanimously to agree with the ntsb staff's determination the probable cause was pilot error. ntsb made 27 safety recommendations to the faa,

boeing, asiana and sfo in the hopes of something that killed three teenagers never happens again. some of those recommendations include better training and communication for san francisco firefighters. yesterday's report praised them for helping to save lives, it also faulted them for assuming a young passenger laying on the runway was already dead. two firefighters saw the teenager before she was covered in firefighting foam and ran over by the fire truck. >> something happened that never should have. arff vehicles rolled over one of the victimed outside the burning plane. >> investigators are added that if she and the other teen who was also ejected from the plane had been wearing seat belts they probably would have survived. in addition, the ntsb said, not all higher-ups in the department had proper training and several responders could not communicate on the same radio frequency that day. much more on this report on other website, nbcbayarea.com.
