that driver of the black ford mistake, once it hit the curve, it kept going straight, went off the road, flipped over and landed in a dry creek bed. in that car was the driver and all four of his attention, three women and another man died in that accident. as you see the wreckage being pulled out by the wrecker earlier this morning, you see how devastating that crash was. the black ford mustang was crushed. it's no surprise it was so hard for anyone to survive that accident. remarkably the driver did survive, badly hurt, major injuries, but is expected to survive. they also will be testing his blood. there's no indication whether he was drinking. there are also tire marks at the side of the accident. chp will be trying to figure out whether those were caused by skidding or whether the driver tried to apply brakes before going off the road four of them

were wearing the seat belt, there is one passenger in the back who was not buckled in as is required by law. the chp does know who these people earp, but they told us earlier this morning they had not yesterday notified their families, only to say they were very local, that they lived somewhere nearby. reporting live in gilroy, rerebell, "today in the bay." now to a developing story at 6:02, federal investigators just arrived on the scene of a deadly train derailment, as rescue crews rush to find anybody who might be trapped. so far six people are not confirmed dead, dozens of others are hurt. >> kris sanchez is tracking the developments. he says he's never seen anything like this. >> and it is a disaster. it appears to be a disaster that was an accident. as you mention ed as of this

morning there is no immediate evidence of foul play nor evidence of terrorism. but that may be little concentration to the families of those six people killed in the crash. the latest person who died this morning died of massive chest trauma. >> -- in critical condition. three went to the operating room last night immediately. more than 100 other people were treated for broken bones and some hoar minor injuries. doctors said many were not even from philadelphia. some were from as star away as india and albania. in the meantime we're getting our first daytime look at the scene where investigators aren't just looking at clues, they are checking to make sure there aren't more victims trapped in that wreckage. the train was headed from twarkt d.c. to new york when all seven cars flew off the tracks in philadelphia. some passengers say they felt something was going wrong as that train entered that curve. >> and then we just rolled and rolled, and next thing i knew we

were pushing -- there were people screaming and bleeding. >> it is an absolute disastrous mess. never seen anything like this in my life. >> in this passenger video, can you see people trying to help each other even as others tried to crawl to saved. emergency workers are trying to make sure all the passengers are accounted for. though there's a manifest when we fly, things are looser when we travel by rail. this appears to be a tragic accident, no evidence of foul play nor terrorism. >> thank you very much. at 6:04, we will have more on this 24 dovering story, include a live report from the crash site at 6:30 also developic, a local connection to an international disaster. two u.s. helicopters scouring the hillsides looking for a california-based marine

vaccinate their child or remove them from public schools. the rally gets under way at 10:30 this morning. there is certainly a big concern for thousands of parents in the south bay this morning. vaccines their children received may not be protecting them. the problem -- a bad refrigerator. a refrigerator he goss gatt toss pediatric center was keeping the vaccines a couple degrees too cold. since the discovery two months ago, the foundation says it's been putting together an action plan for each of the 4300 children affected. here are the vaccines possibly compromised -- a long list there. the medical foundation says it's providing all options to parents, including another vaccination free of charge. we now how much kids like shots. >> you have to kind of persuade them to go along with it, but it

can be done. sometime to check the microclimate forecast. because of sunrise from san francisco. we talk, laura about preparedness, keeping an umbrella in the trunk. >> there you go. christina has a look at our forecast for this morning. >> good morning, we are counting on some drized and light showers as of this afternoon. temperatures mostly in the 40s and 50s. good morning to you, bay area. we need this rain. it's a welcome sign, especially when it comes to the elevated fire danger that we usually have in the month of may. and also it's not unusual for us to be in the 90s in may. we have not even been close to that. so far this month it's been very mild out there. that will continue as we head throughout the day today. 52 degrees in san carlos, starting at 512 in oakland. 48 degrees, meanwhile, a chilly start in san jose, and 46 down in san martin. as we get is a into your afternoon, this is what you can expect.

that cloudy start will stay. we'll keep the clouds in the mix. then between noon and 3:00 p.m., that drizzle and light activity will start across the bay area with the heaviest rainfall for today on the way to the immediate coast and our higher elevations. then by tomorrow, widespread activity, everybody getting some showers, that means a free car wash for you. 62 degrees, it shows you that on the peninsula. 63 degrees, a touch warmer for today out there at noon. in the north bay, you'll round out the day, 67 degrees in wine country, 68 for the peninsula is the high, and 63 is the high for the east bay today. so let me give you a little idea, a snapshot of what to expect as we head throughout the next 48 hours, scattered afternoon showers, mainly in the south bay, high elevations, the north bay high elevations and coast for today. thursday, the heaviest activity will be in the south bay and on the peninsula for the morning hours. then by the afternoon we're expecting that hapeavy stuff to

your phone near the body when it's on and on a wireless network. this greater risk is greater for churn. your cell phone already has a warning that says you should hold it away from your body, but many people are not aware of it now coming up in our final record this hour, there are people outside of the city who want in on this fight. we'll hear from them in about half an hour or so. radiation, scott, it's not all created earthquake.

>> radiation is any energy moving through the air, so heat is radiation. radio is, too. in fact the reason you could talk to stephanie is because of in eye nomars on microwave transmitter. that it scare people and there are kinds that can cause cancer and not cause cancer. the the ionizing rad agthat cell phones do not emit that causes cancer. there will be protest for, marching for workers' rights, specifically security guards that work at high-tech firms. u.p.s. has been the subject of several union actions, and criticized for not doing a very good job of tracking people's timecards and tracking them high-tech firms have been radically changing their

indeed local hospitals. the ntsb's first order of business will be trying to download all the dat ra from that lock motive to try to figure out how fast it was going, whether it was applying brakes, whether the data is provide clues as to what happened. this will take days and weeks. the chirp says speed was a factor. the car rolled many times and plunged into a ditch 20 feet below. three women and one man died. the driver is the only survivors a faulty fridge has parents concerned about their children's, the lot gatt toss pediatric center's refrigerator apparently kept the serum too cold, perhaps making it infective. ineffective and the first in the united
