cleaning flew that a leaked into the freeway. because it's not pure water, they have to do a formal cleanup, according to the san jose fire. they're saying, it's going to attack about an hour, longer, to get that area cleaned up. that's the two far right lanes southbound 280 before 11th street. before 4th and 11 street. this happened a half hour ago. we spoke to the driver who was the first car involved, in a bmw, solo spinout, came out of the freeway, it was that drizzly time of the morning. he does think that maybe that played a role into. he spun out and has a reaction, a chain reaction accident with the sewage truck and four other vehicles. you have six people -- six drivers involved here, all injuries are minor, only a couple people transported, none are life threatening. this is a commute issue. one lane, far left, reopened. chp hoping to get two more

lanes, one or two more lanes open and the next 30 minutes. they've got to remove some cars. everything else reopened once they fet that sget that sewage overturned. it's beyond the flashing lights that are down about i'd say two city blocks from our position right here. so, again, southbound 280, condensed at 4th street, down to just one lane and picks up after that. you probably got a good quarter mile where it's actually condensed to one lane. look at the backups, definitely a backup here. mike inouye's going to fill us in later. looking at eta of at least an hour. bob redell, "today in the bay." >> tough commute even for northbound because people see all of the lights and everything. >> yes. impact there, it's giving new meaning to the term messy commute. for a look around the mess, let's check in with aforementioned traffic reporter mike inouye. >> good morning. messy commute, it was a cleaning

truck and cheaping fluid. bob talking about this, that's the sewage cleaning truck, sewage truck on its side. the fluid in the area, bob emphasized, new sewage, it was blue cleaning fluid used but because it's chemical, partially, a full cleanup than will keep two right lanes closed. perhaps for another hour, maybe longer. we have the fire crews and also vehicles cleared from the area. there are six ve vehicles total involved. they're dramatically damaged, no major injuries what happen we're hearing from chp as well. down to one lane south bound but you may have a couple more opening up in the short term. big backup, forming at top of the screen here, south bound 280. bob drove to the scene and as he got to the scene, here's the video he took in the backup. folks are backed up when he was getting to the scene and flashing lights, not too long ago, about 15 minutes ago. that's south out of downtown. we'll show you the backup.

for both directions because southbound, that's your countercommute direction but that's where the crash is blocking all but one lane. north bound, flashing lights you saw quite a spectacle, adding early slowdowns to the north bound and 87 into downtown, more traffic, more congestion and slowing. it should -- north bound for the rest of the commute, not a major big issue, 101, we will show you the rest of the build coming up in the next report. breaking news to tell you about this morning, a second health care worker now a patient after contracting the ebola virus. the woman is among those who took care of thomas duncan the man who died in adallas hospital last week. >> kris sanchez, this new case comes amid serious actizations by nurses at the dallas hospital. >> officials wouldn't address the nurses unions allegations that their training, equipment

inadequate to deal with the ebola virus but this morning, health officials did say their monitoring system is working and the health care work who are contracted ebola after caring for the patient duncan was in isolation within 90 minutes of spiking a fever. pham remains in isolation but good news, she's in good condition, upgrade from yesterday. that second health care worker now is among the hospital staff who had contact with duncan who died of ebola at that hospital. health officials are working to identify additional people who now need to be under observation. we know that woman lived alone at this dallas apartment. photos posted on twitter by dallas police of the complex where neighbors got a knock on the door, every one of them, telling them what happened and what their risk was. decontam nation of the common areas and the outside of her apartment is happening this morning. more serious decontamination of

the inside of her apartment and car is planned for this afternoon. officials want to make sure that people understand that there was no reason for her to be in isolation at the hospital before she got that fever. >> this is not going to be a situation where we're going to put protective orders on 75 health care workers. this -- the system right now is working. they are taking their temperature regularly. if they have a slight headache, slight fever, if they get a chill because the breeze blows, they take their temperature. they have any temperature or any other, you know, loose stool or any other symptom, they immediately go to isolation in the hospital. >> now the family of thomas duncan, his fiancee and the family, still in isolation but the health officials say they are reportedly healthy. the dallas folks with the folks from the state level will be on a conference call this afternoon

with the centers for disease control. cdc director friedan admitted that neither infections might have happened if the cdc had deployed a rapid response team as soon as the first infection was confirmed. folks at texas presbyterian hospital did say they had two health care workers under close observation and isolation at the hospital because of possible infection. this woman was not one of those two people. it's possible that there is still another person who had close contact with thomas duncan. >> let's hope not. >> continue to watch that fallout and hope for the best. doctors and nurses navigate the outbreak. stay with us, nbcbayarea.com. you can fine us on facebook and twitter. >> 6:08, wednesday. live look outside overlooking san francisco. nice start to our day. can you feel fall in the air?

breaking news this morning. a major wreck in the south bay involving a sewage truck that was having cleaning supplies, creating a rough tart to your wednesday morning commute in the south bay, southbound interstate 280 near the 10th street off-ramp. "today in the bay's" bob redell got an update from the chp. he's out there live this morning. how long before this one clears? >> reporter: good morning to you. they're saying another 15 minutes. looking at by 7:00 all lanes of south bound 280 here at first street to 11th reopened, only lane still shutdown the first street on-ramp because of the spill. this happened around 5:00, a driver of a bmw had a solo

spinout, he tells me that he believes it might have been due to the drizzle, heavy drizzle going on. as a result of that, in the middle of traffic, it caused a chain reaction accident. six vehicles involved total, five cars and trucks, and then this right here. i want to show you this, a porta pot potty sewage truck on its way to do a cleaning run. it did have 100 gallons of a cleaning solution inside. that overturned. right now that's the issuen that's why the freeway is not completely reopened because san jose fires working on cleaning that up. >> concentrating our efforts in cleaning up the contents of the tanker. the tanker has a liquid that is a deodarizer for portable toilets. >> reporter: none of the injuries were serious. a couple of people taken to the

hospital, but nobody has life-threatening injuries. the manager of the man driving the sewer truck, one issue he pointed out, why the truck didn't see the black bmw, yes, it's dark out but a street lamp, they're not turned on on the right side of southbound 280. he thinks that might have been an issue for the driver, not seeing the bmw, colliding with that and causing the chain reaction accident that resulted again, six vehicles involved. chp asking us to move over right now, give mes me a good indication they're going to start to open more lanes. two lanes open now. a steady backup heading into northbound direction, but they should be reopening lanes again, as i was saying, by 7:00. once that sewage area, the cleaning liquid is cleaned up, it's not sewage, but cleaning liquid cleaned up, they should have that 1st street on-ramp reopened by 7:30, 7:45. bob redell, "today in the bay."

>> hopefully that will ease that congestion through there. a bit of good news but backed up for a look how to make it around the congestion. if you have to take 280, here's mike inouye. >> anytime anybody hears sewage truck, porta potties, avoid the area. it's cleaning fluid. you see flashing lights. bob saying, being told to move. does look like they've moved the vehicles out, six total, including the sewage truck. they have to -- look at the backup, south bound 280, countercommute coming into the area from downtown. that's where it starts, backed up around bird approaching the 87 overcrossing. let's show you how this plays out. unexpected from bird past downtown towards the scene where bob was showing you progress. hopefully having another lane or two. two of the southbound lanes open northbound, distraction. so there's a slower drive from 101 up into downtown for northbound 280.

lighter wednesday commute, traffic flowing smoothly. after 7:00 a bump up for the south bay. we're seeing it north 101. this could play a factor. south 680 around the bend and approaching the backup, that will be a factor folks down through this portion of san jose out of milpitas. if this doesn't clear in the next half hour, which it sounds like it should. south bay action. the rest of the bay, nothing unusual south bound 880 out of hayward in toward union city. same thing for the tri-valley. the bay bridge toll plaza, we get a live look here. we have metering lights on. low clouds hovering around, mist and drizzle through the morning. back to the maps, talking about again flow toward the san francisco area as well. into the north bay, the green right there, north of marin county, mist and drizzle. we see the golden gate bridge with a sheen on it, watch the slick roadways. be careful, if it's not raining it might still be stick.
