overnight crash on highway 101 in sunny valley. we're told a semi truck and motorcycle collided just after 2:30 this morning on northbound 101 near lawrence expressway. the motorcyclist was killed and for a while, several lanes of the interstate were closed. witnesses say the motorcyclist was going over 100 miles an hour. ran into the back of the big rig. now, we have more on this, including a map to show you where this happened. it's near lawrence expressway, let's turn things over to mike inouye, this was going to impact the drive, but up to the minute changes here, mike. >> that's right, scott, we're looking towards our speed sen source and it's recovering. but yeah, very early in the commute, 4:30, we saw a big slow down past great america parkway up to the scene of the crash which was just shy of lawrence expressway. you still see a little tiny bit of slowing, stick it out for 101. the option was going to be central expressway 237, no need

for that. . rest of the south bay moves smoothly. then a second deadly crash in cost tra contra -- contra costa county. it sounds like you can get off of the freeway, but traffic control around the area, maybe to a shopping center just south of highway 4. that's the second deadly crash of the morning. 101 is clear, but bay lay is closed. highway 152 in gilroy is shut down this morning, nearly 12 hours after a deadly crash there. just before 5:30 last night, a big rig hit several cars near the corner of ferguson road and highway 152. one bern died. eight others sent to the hospital. three of them with critical injuries. there's no information yet about the driver. the rig hit seven cars before the truck caught fire. no word yet on when they plan to reopen the highway. john kerry is in cairo this morning working on a peace deal. he says israel has agreed to a

ceasefire, hamas has not. all this while rockets rain down on gaza. 570 people including women and children were killed in violence over the past two weeks. israel says hamas militants fired more than 2,000 rockets in that time. israel's prime minister says his country warned civilians in gaza to leave and accuses hamas of hiding behind them. wasting water may get you a knock on the door from a water cop. south bay's largest water district is thinking about spending a half million dollars or it catch water wasters during the drought. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez joins us live from santa clara valley water district with more on the proposal, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, the water district has been pushing water conservation all aloeng, free buckets to catch shower buckets, even created an app for your smart phone where you can report people who are using too much water. and now, they are going one step further.

they're tubbing spending $500,000 to hire five to ten water cops who would investigate complaints and patrol for water wasters and may be quite a few. so far water users in the district conserved 12%, falling far short of the governor's 20% target. now the district has already encouraged neighbors to point out broken sprinklers to each other, but for true water wasters, folks can call in formal complaints. even if the santa clara county water district spends the money on more staff, maybe more like hall monitors than water cops because they can't fine people. >> what they can do is refer an issue or particular property to it the local water provider or city that does have the ability to issue a fine. >> reporter: but without water police, it may not make a difference. folks on san jose's greenmore court called in this broken pipe on this street to the water district only to be told that it

is not a priority. this could change with the meeting here tonight if they do increase staff to patrol for water wasters. by the way, if you find yourself in a situation where you would like to let your lawn brown out, but your homeowners association will fine you if you to that, the governor just signed a new law saying they can't fine you for letting your lawn go for the duration of the drought. at least you have one more tool in your arsenal. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> thanks a lot. mean whiem the misery continues for people living in a bay area apartment complex. they've been without water for five straight days. "today in the bay's" bob redell joins us at spring house apartments in pleasanton. the landlord brought in crews that are going to fix a water main under the property, so far, no luck. >> reporter: that's correct, good morning, scott. i just heard from one renter who confirmed that unfortunately, the water is still out. management here at spring house apartments in pleasanton did notify renters yesterday they

hope to have the water back on by 5:00 tonight, 8:00 at the latest. and what's frustrating for the people who live here, this water main broke friday. it's now tuesday, their thought is what is taking so long? when we spoke with the property manager yesterday he explained that they called a plumber right away who assured them they could fix it, turns out they couldn't. neither could the next two companies. now it's saturday afternoon, a plumber with engineering experience had to be called in to start tackling the problem. that was the fourth company. they did have the water back on sunday, for about an hour, but then the pipe burst again. they were back yesterday to try another fix, it's not clear why it's taking another day, tuesday, today, to restore service. residents have had it, they're tired of going to the pool for water to flush the toilets. tired of the dirty dishes, tired of not being able to shower. >> when you pay people money to live somewhere, you expect a not leaky roof, you expect running

water. everybody needs water. you know, it's like living in a third world country. >> reporter: management is providing gallon jugs of water for residents, they've set up a handful of porter potties with wash stations throughout the complex. some residents say there's not enough considering there are over 3506 units and the property manager has promised not to charge rent for the days the tenants have been beat water. and right now day number five. reporting live here in pleasanton, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> boy, that's rough. >> for sure. meteorologist christina loren, there's a little water coming out of the sky, i don't think it's going to help these folks. >> no, probably not, but i can tell you it will help out when it comes to fire weather here in the bay area. all this moisture coming in, this is really good news because we're not just talking about little downpours or light precipitation, you see this red and this orange as i stop the radar for you, that's heavy precipitation coming down in san francisco, and you know what, i have to say, i haven't asked

anybody to send in water video, we're getting into it in. thank you for jumping on board, you know what, you're part of the show. and we're going to show you that video coming up in the next report. plus we have somebody who captured the sound of thunder in san francisco. so we're going to get to that as well. let's kind of talk about where these showers are and where they're headed. as you can see at this point, we're getting the heaviest downpour fls san bruno all the way north to san francisco, all this activity now starting to press towards morin county. also down here in the south bay, we are getting a little bit of precipitation, also some of that deeper grain embedded with the light rain. that's moderate rainfall coming down here in san jose, north san jose for the most part. we're fair game for the showers over the course of the morning. let me talk about something else that's really cool that's happening because of our bizarre wind pattern. we're getting what we call coastal upwelling, just offshore in the pacific ocean, temperatures are typically in the mid-50s. we are in the 60s in the pacific ocean because of our erratic

wind pattern. now things will change today. we'll get onshore flow back, for us, that means the fog will return, cool ocean breeze in the evening hours, comfortable conditions for us as onshore flow returns. i have to tell you that monsoonal moisture is actually helping us out when it comes to fire season and the drought. 78 degrees right now in the south bay, 81 degrees the forecasted high for the peninsula and 75 today on the east shore, like i said, we'll get to that video coming up, first though, here's mike, traffic alert this morning. hey, we'll start in the south bay, smoother drive right now. let's look all over the bay, we have cameras showing you the volume of traffic is not so the bad a we see the speeds quickly recovered. that's what contributed to the crash scene that just cleared. northbound 101, that scene, from you go, speed sensors back up to normal as the sig alert cleared from the roadway. the moisture in the south bay is not coming into play, but the

motorcycle going 100 miles per hour is what caused the accident. the off-ramp is open,est there a shopping center and a couple of roads to get around this. prepare for traffic control and detour just south of highway 4. meanwhile highway 4 through antioch, typical sloeg over there. getting over towards the bay bridge. we have a smooth drive and live look out there showing you that traffic is smooth. back to you guys. >> thanks mike. as bart continues efforts to bring trains to the south bay, there are new closures to worry about. at 10:00 tonight. the agency will close parts of south grimmer boulevard in fremont to work on the warm springs expansion project. the closures will take part over four consecutive nights but should be wrapped up in time for the morning commute. 5:10 this morning bart police will be cracking down on people who sit, lie, or sleep at bart stations. "today in the bay's" stephanie chuang live at the bart station in san francisco, stephanie, bart says this is a safety issue. >> reporter: that's right, good morning to you, laura. now a lot of people, you can

see, homeless people sleeping both in and outside of the station. although you can see a gentleman power washing, that tends to get people outside the area here. the focus is inside, bart police saying this is for safety. homeless people said it's a move to get them out. now just this morning around 4:30, we went inside, you can see half a dozen people sleeping in the halls and in the long corridors. that is especially where there's a concern according to bart police who add this is a safety measure to ensure they can evacuate these stations in four to six minutes in case of emergency. we spoke with a man this morning who sighs he typically sleeps in and out of the station with up to 25 other people who have nowhere else to go as they wait for section eight housing. >> we try to find a spot where we can get out of the cold, you know, the shelters is packed. you know, and we do get there, most of the shelters, they ain't livable. >> reporter: there are three steps in this bart police

crackdown. first they will issue a spoken warning. next them check ids and get out citations without a fine. and the third time will mean a court appearance summens, and that means that person is subject to getting fined, arrested, and or jail. live in san francisco, stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much, stephanie. 5:12, what governor brown is saying about the possibility of sending national guard troops to the mexico border. just days after the malaysian airlines flight was shot down, the airline in new trouble, hypocrite sighed for flying a passenger jet over another war torn country. nbc bay area wants to help local nonprofits build stronger communities. that's why we're launching 21st century solutions. annual grant challenge for new and innovative programs to earn up to $50,000. visit nbcbayarea.com to apply. you used to sleep like a champ.

cops so they're called, but they have been pushing conservation here at the water district. they've been handing out fro buckets so that folks can catch their shower water. even created an app so that people can report water wasters when they see them, but now, it looks like the santa clara valley water district is going to put some teeth into that bite. $500,000, five to ten water cops, they would investigate complaints and patrol for water wasters, and there may be quite a few because the water users in this district, which covers much of the south bay only conserved 12% falling short of the governor's 20% target. the district has already encouraged neighbors to point out broken sprinklers to each other, but for true water wasters, folks can call in the formal complaint. even if the santa clara valley water district plans to spend them on more staff, they may be more like hall monitors because nay can't actually fine people. >> what they can do is refer an issue or a particular property

to the local water provider or city that does have the ability to issue a fine. >> reporter: without water police, it may not make a difference for folks on san jose's greenmore court. they called in this broken pipe on their street only to be told it is not a priority. they could change with the -- that could change with the board of directors meeting tonight if they choose to spend the $500,000 on patrolling and enforcement. by the way, if you have a lawn that you want to let dry out because you want to save water but you're not sure how your homeowners association is going to see that, well you have some backing from the governor. he just signed into law yesterday a new rule that says you can let your lawn go brown and your hoa can't touch you. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> thank you much. it is the fifth straight day of no water for people living at one bay area apartment complex. and the frustration is certainly growing.
