this "today in the bay." from nbc bay area, this is "today in the bay." >> good morning, thanks for joining us. i'm sam brock. >> i'm laura garcia-cannon. we do have breaking news, a very messy morning commute happening right now in the east bay. this is a live look at interstate 880 in hayward where investigators are looking into a possible deadly accident. two of the south bound 880 lanes at industrial avenue are closed, south of san mateo bridge, the bridge traffic could still get backed up. investigators are trying to figure out exactly what happened. but initial reports indicate a person down on the freeway. it's unclear how that person got there or how many cars are involved. let's collect in with mike inouye. he's been tracking this since it began. what are commuters up against? what are the best ways around this. >> the absolute worst time for an incident like this to happen on the traffic front.

human concerns aside, we don't ever want to hear about this type of incident. look at the commute as it builds southbound 880 through hayward out of san leandro. that is the stream of cars. to get out of this, you can try to use over to the west, we have hesperia boulevard, a major service street. to the east, mission boulevard, highway 238. but the two main roadways through the area heading out of hayward, into union city. there's the jam, back at 238 as volume comes out of castro valley, oakland, slapped toward the san mateo bridge. if you're traveling from the east bay to the peninsula. but peninsula listeners, listen up. here look at eastbound 92 as well. head across the san mateo bridge the span is clear but you're heading into the jam. use the dumbarton bridge that will take you across the bay, take north 880 toward union city and hayward that will get you around. i'm going it say it's a couple of hours because it does sound like a serious situation with the police investigation

continuing. now the better news for traffic around the rest of your bay, nothing unusual outside of that big jam hayward toward union city for 880. metering lights on, backup is here. smooth drive down the east shore freeway. nothing dramatic for the maze. we'll track that big ash issue hayward. developing story this morning. attorney general eric holder will go to ferguson, missouri, after a major shift on the streets overnight. >> don't shoot, hands up. >> there were a few tense moments and dozens of arrests again. but for the first time in more than a week, officers did not have to use any tear gasp they credited the clergy and community for policing itself and keeping things calm. the highway patrolmen in charge addressed the media. he was asked why officers wore riot gear when they confronted protesters. >> when i got home at 3:30 in the morning my wife was up, lights were on, and when i

walked in the door i knew i was in trouble. she didn't say hi. she said, why didn't you have your vest on? when i left today, i got here, the first text on my phone is, your promise. a promise means, i'm going to come home. these men and women are going to come home. >> the protests are sparked by death of michael brown, who was unarmed when shot and killed by a ferguson police officer. a grand jury could begin hearing evidence in that case as early as today. a horrifying story in the middle east. american journalist is dead, beheaded by isis militants. and now, militants are threatening to kill another journalist. the militants say beheading of james foley was in retaliation for u.s. air strikes in iraq. foley was kidnapped in syria in 2012, now isis says they will kill american journalist steven sotloff if air strikes do not

stop. he was kidnapped about a year ago. president obama will make a statement about the killing later this morning. blood tests under way to determine if a person in isolation in sacramento does have the ebola virus. kris sanchez has more on how serious the risk of infection is and it's disconcerting because it's close to the bay area. >> we know that patient is in isolation, out of an abundance of caution, and has submitted blood samples for testing. we don't know whether it's a man, a woman, or their age or why they have come contact with the virus. at kaiser permanente south sacramento medical center, doctors and nurses coming into contact with that person are using protective gear in case tests come back positive. results could take several more days. in the meantime the main thing doctors are watching for is fever. the hospital isn't saying whether the patient is showing

symptoms of the deadly virus, only that that person may have come into contact with it. a doctor unaffiliated with kaiser but who has studied ebola for years says we should remember that virus does not spread like the common cold. rather spreads through inmate contact with bodily fluids, like blood. >> they have been to an area that is affected or been in contact with a person who might have been infected. our citizens locally here and globally are doing the right thing. >> infectious disease specialist at kaiser permanente northern california said, in this statement, in or to protect our patients, staff and physicians, even though infection with the virus is unconfirmed, we are taking the actions recommended by the cdc as a precaution. two u.s. aide workers infected in liberia, transported back to emery hospital in atlanta for treatment. nancy writebol on the left stood

smoke canisters. no gunfire last night. it's a step in a positive direction. again, police really thanking the community for doing their part in helping to keep things that way. this could end up being the most pivotal day we've seen since the death of michael brown. we've got the grand jury here that's going to see preliminary evidence for the first time. that means criminal investigation is moving along quickly than people thought it might. and as you talked about, attorney general holder on the ground in ferguson, meeting with community leaders, meet with the brown family face-to-face and going to meet with agents and prosecutors from the department of justice, as they continue their civil rights investigation here. so a lot changing, still fluid as it has been. but could be a very important day. >> so many angles to the story. blood samples from a scram patient are being tested for

ebola. the patient is now in isolation as the fear of the ebola outbreak hits closer to home.

>> that's the first thing to know, it's very hard to catch. you have to be in intimate contact with flew fluids of a that has it and is sick with it. >> specialists at kaiser permanente northern california released a statement saying in part, in order to protect our patients, staff and physicians, even though infection with the virus has been unconfirmed, we're taking actions recommended by the cdc as a precaution. the ebola virus claimed the lives of 1,200 people worldwide, particularly west africa. but there are another 1,000 people infected and still living and one person made a complete recovery. two people transported back for treatment continue to recover. >> thank you. a sad twist to an already tragic story in san francisco. police have made an arrest in the hit-and-run death of a 2-year-old child, but they did not arrest the driver who hit that girl.
