"today in the bay's" damian broke the story early this morning. damian, officers used canines to eventually catch the suspects? >> reporter: yeah, and canines from other cities, in fact, laura. they gave this neighborhood back to the residents a short while ago. this is a hot spot for

burglaries in san jose but not today. this is the scene of the strong armed robberies here. again, in the north end of town. police say they have two separate robbery victims. one is an elderly person. it happened just after midnight. police say three of the suspects began hopping fences. the fourth was caught earlier. officers conducted a perimeter search with the help of canine units from sunnyvale police and santa clara police. they knew there were still three suspects on the loose. officers found them hiding in the same backyard here on babe ruth drive. there were two adults and two juveniles in all. only two of the adults resisted arrest and they were bitten by the canines. they needed minor medical attention at the scene from san jose firefighters. >> we probably have in the neighborhood of 26 to 30 police officers here. primarily from san jose pd. in this case we utilized a canine officer and two extra officers from santa clara and another canine officer from

sunnyvale and two extra officers from sunnyvale. >> reporter: so lots of police activity. police say they found evidence on some of the suspects linking them to the prior robberies. those robbery victims are expected to be okay. they arrived here on the scene and were able to identify the suspects. those suspects were then taken both to jail and to you've any hall. live in the north end of san jose, i'm damon, "today in the bay." >> thank you, damian. breaking this morning, debris lines the streets in daly city after a man stole a dump truck. led police on a short chase before it slamming into a minivan. several people were hurt. >> not all of this chaos happening around 2:00 this morning on san jose avenue and flournoy street in daly city.

minivan. sending the minivan into a parked car and the dump truck wrapping around that utility pole. again, at the intersection of san jose and flournoy in daly city. they've got two wreckers out here where the past 30 minutes they've been trying to remove it and get that dump truck out of here. it's in such twisted shape shs bad shape, it's just been very difficult. the driver of the stolen dump truck did try to run away but was caught. taken to the hospital. we believe his injuries are minor. the three people in the minivan including a 16-year-old girl, again, all three of them taken to the hospital. one of them was serious but not life threatening injuries. police tell us that they hope to have this intersection which is a main commute in the daly city area because it's not far from 208. hope to have it hope within the next two hours by around 8:00. you can see a lot of debris to pick up. the dump truck. the minivan. and diesel fuel that spilled out here as well. reporting live here in daly city. bob redell, "today in the bay." >> nice out there. here's another story

developing by the minute. oil, now blackening at least nine miles of california's coastline. a state of emergency is in effect this morning as crews trying to clean up thousands of gallons of oil that seeped into the ocean near santa barbara. >> this is a problem they are still actively trying to contain. "today in the bay's" michelle roberts joins us live from refugio state beach, one of two beaches remains closed this morning and could stay closed for quite some time. >> reporter: that's right. this beach and el capitan beach will be closed until at least next thursday. the goal is just to allow crews the opportunity to clean up and is probably not somewhere you want to spend your holiday vacation anyway. the smell is so intense. this is what clean-up crews are dealing with. you can see the rocks just completely covered in black. they've been scooping up dark seaweed washing up onshore as well. heartbreaking thing is when you see the birds fishing in this black ocean. here are some of the updated numbers this morning. yesterday 6,000 gallons of oily

water has been cleaned up. it's good but still a long way to go. estimated 105,000 gallons of crude oil spilled on tuesday morning. plains all american pipeline broke dumping crude oil into a storm drain. the oil is being removed in a vurtity of ways. vacuums, absorbent boom out in the water, and crews onshore. >> more than 300 federal, state, and local first responders and numerous environmental clean-up contractors arrived on scene and are actively assessing booming and removing oil from the effected areas. you should see and expect even more responders on the beach. >> reporter: yesterday the ceo of plains all american apologized for the disaster and vowed to clean up the mess. the cause of this pipeline break is still under investigation. if you're wanting to help, they are asking volunteers who are eager to get involved, just hold

off. let the professionals do their job. if you do see an animal in trouble or covered in oil, call the professionals because you don't want to harm it any more than it already has been. reporting live in santa barbara county, michelle roberts, nbc bay area news. >> thank you very much, michelle. we will check back with michelle coming up at 6:45. in the meantime, visit our website nbcbayarea.com. elderly san francisco woman is in critical condition after savage attack in broad daylight. this morning investigators are looking for the woman who attacked her. >> i would say near death would be the most accurate way of describing her condition. >> that's connie ho, describing her grandmother, 77-year-old, lynn who is now in a san francisco hospital. police say she had just gotten off a muni bus on mother's day when she was attacked by another woman for no apparent reason. officers want to find her attacker and are looking for a

mysterious man who came to her aid as she was on the walk. >> can you please come forward and let us know who you are. maybe you can help us find this assailant that attacked my grant what. >> police are asking anyone who saw anything suspicious in chinatown in the early afternoon of may 10th on mother's day to give them a call. three men are under arrest this morning in connection with a high speed chase that ended in a dadly hit and run in san francisco. here's a look at the suspects. all of them 18 or 19 years old. investigators say the men were fleeing from police in a stolen car last month when they hit and killed bridget checker. the suspect's allegedly kept on driving before dumping their car on trae shurd island. they were arrested yesterday in san francisco, hayward, and santa rosa. follow up on the whale that washed ashore in half-moon bay. hoping the tide will allow them to examine the 40-foot gray whale so they can figure out how

it died. they were unable to do so yesterday because of the high tide. this marks the third dead whale to wash ashore in the bay area in the past five weeks. 6:08. now to a live look at a soggy at&t park. the tarp is out there this morning keeping the infield dry. while you were sleeping light rain fell in parts of the bay area. drizzlingy out there this morning. we got a day game, too. >> we do. not bad conditions for a game. keep it kind of cool. they're going for the sweep out there, are our giants. hopes are abounding right now. >> that's outstanding looking at the national weather. 2 1/2 games back. quite a comeback taking on the dodgers. and for the game you're starting to see a sneak preview of the weather earlier as we get into the afternoon. first pitch coming up at 12:45. drizzle at san francisco. clouds in san jose. that's the view in san francisco. around downtown. we need the windshield wipers going there. you can see the drops going by. drizzle and light rain at times.

that is going to be the story around san francisco and the peninsula through the morning is the low clouds are forced to rise over the coastal hilltops. mostly cloudy skies. cool temperatures and for the north bay hills and hills oath of san jose there is the chance of seeing a few more isolated showers. all day sea breeze and low clouds keeping our temperatures down for this time of year. we're going to see highs in the mid 60s for the valleys for most places. 50s closer to pacifica. near 60. yes, that first pitch coming up just before 1:00 this afternoon. does look like we're going to be looking at some drizzle out there. light rain at times. winds southwest. 10 to 20 miles per hour. north bay and tri-valley, highs in the mid 60s once again. the pattern looks like it's going to stick around for the next few days. into friday, drizzle at times around the peninsula and coast. sierra thunderstorms, a possibility, into friday afternoon. the holiday weekend, things start to improve. if you like 70 degree temperatures, should manage that. probably more so by sunday into

monday. see some low to mid 70s around south bay. not much change the tornado watches around san francisco. staying in the low 60s. less in the way of drizzle and light rain. dry weather and slight warm up as we head through the memorial day weekend. light rain could be causing issues for the morning commute. >> we have a few issues including the rain and drizzle. here though looks like i'm on the scene. this is where bob is at the scene here. this is bob. look at the damage and diesel spill and dump truck involved in that crash after the pursuit from daly city. this is why this portion of san jose avenue is closed near flournoy off of 280. the your crews are on scene. all the diesel spilled, this could take well into the morning commute. look at the map. crash scene and this is the map area. sflans and just south of there where it gets busy through daly city. san jose avenue. that's john daly boulevard, mission street. it could be affected by reroutes. we'll track this throughout the morning. bob is on-screene.

we will track that for part of your peninsula issue. the second part, bay bridge 101, the crash at grand avenue is clear to just one lane down and possibly that could be cleared but in south san francisco down toward sfo because of an earlier crash which was blocking your two left lanes. the rest of your bay is fine. looking at smooth and predictable commute. south bay, no issues bay as far as anything expected. we'll look at the bay bridge toll plaza. metering lights are on. i wanted to point out the slick roadways. rob was talking about the drizzle. back to you. >> we see it behind you there. thanks a lot. 6:12. bottled water industry in hot water this morning. the boiled down to our drought. >> plus, look at the mathematics of the nfl coming up in business.

we're starting to think that scott mcgrew has a thing for janet yellen. >> he promise it is we sit through it we will talk football. >> you do not think the fed minutes are as exciting as the nfl. we got the fed minutes yesterday, guys. the internal notes from the littest federal over markets committee. it shows the chance of an interest rate hike any time soon are low. probably fall at the earliest. the other good news, the fed says it's not too concerned about the hiccup in the economy last winter saying that looked temporary. wednesday's news hikes are not coming any time soon helped push the dollar lower. this is good news if you make something for exports, chevy car or grow wheat or make computers. okay. that's it for monetary policy. >> that's okay. i enjoy interest rate talk. >> that's good. that's it for now. we'll talk more about it later.

let's talk about the nfl. as you well know professional football is going to move the point after touchdown line back to try to make that event a little bit more exciting. if you don't know football and some people don't you get an extra point for kicking the ball but you get two extra points for running the ball into the end zone. but kicking here is so easy, coaches opt for the sure thing and it's boring. mathematicians at m.i.t. tried to figure out with the new rules how likely would it be that the kicker would succeed. this is the formula. how often will a coach opt to run the ball with the new formula instead in put another way, is the rule change going to make the game more interesting? the answer is no. the formula says it is less likely the kicker will succeed. that makes sense. he goes from 98% at the two-yard line to 93% at the 15-yard line. still 93%. two-point conversion rs running it works out less than half the

time. nfl coaches, the paper say, hate risks. they're going to take that easy one point over the more difficult two-point just like they do now. so really doesn't matter how far ba back you get it, guys, unless you get it ridiculously far back and the two-point is easier. >> they were so close in nailing this because, yes, they moved the kickback but if you move the run in, start at the 1 yard line instead of the 2 yard line for the two-point conversion you might convince coach toes try that instead. >> blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. >> all i know is once the amazing touchdown touch happens you the go ahead and go to the rest room or get more nachos because whatever is happens after that is going to happen. >> it's just noise. new hot button issue relating to drought in bottled water. many are angry at the bottle watering companies. they're getting their h2o from public land.

>> we are hoping for every last drop. meantime, natural springs all over california which provide water for the bottling industry. no one really knows how much water being used. a lot of people though want answers to that question. water bottlers are facing a flood of criticism. >> the governor created a plan but nothing was said about water bottling or fracking. >> starbucks has already been bottling the ethos water in california. the company recently decided to change the policy and announced it's going to find a new source outside of the state of california in the next six months. >> all right. there you go. north bay, tilt your head upward, drizzle in your face. first, live look at san jose. clear here. >> could we even fill up a water bottle, rob? you're saying we got a little bit of drizzle but maybe not enough. >> a little bit in san francisco. it could be enough if you're very patient.

>> right now tsds mit is measur as we show you the view in san francisco right now. there's some mist on the lens there. enough that it's running down right now. san francisco some wet roads for you. seeing this around the peninsula and daly city, around the bay bridge toll plaza and east bay, too. that is the way the morning is starting in san francisco. take a look at san jose, we've got mostly cloudy skies. but not too much in the way of drizzle or at least like that. like we're seeing in san francisco as we look for some light rain at times. especially around coastal hilltops if air is forced to rise and drop drizzle and light rain at sometimtimes for the mo commute. hilltop showers at times, too. this pattern is going to stick around for your friday morning commute before we begin to see changes approaching the weekend. we've got the clouds and the drizzle. all day sea breeze, winds are increasing as we get into the evening which will help to keep the temperatures running not in the mid 70 wrz we should be this time of year for valleys but mid 60s for most places inland.

lots of 50s across the board through mid morning and urchl lunchtime, sunny breaks around the tri-valley and santa clara valley with numbers in the mid 60s and highest days running cool. 67 degrees. ten degrees below average in san jose. mid to upper 50s around pacifica. you saw the light rain at times for san francisco. for the north bay, mid to upper 60s around the tri-valley today. and for oakland, coming up tonight, 6:00. head out to oracle arena, the chance of the splash brother showers indoors at oracle coming up tonight. for your holiday weekend, plans are going to see the light rain to move on. a little more sunshine. notice sunday for the south bay and north bay, temperatures climbing in the 70s. the pattern should hold cooler as we approach memorial day on monday. warmer weather on the way. timing good for your weekend plans. to see how things are affecting your morning commute, here's mike. >> looking over toward the bay bridge toll plaza where we have the light rain. good illustration of the slick

roadways if gray skies, drizzle that will likely hit your windshield north of the san mateo bridge and backup that's there. as we look at the golden gate bridge across the bay looking at this but we have slick roadways to clouds though not down to the deck. not a fog situation. watch for affects. so far you're okay. here's the concern. just north of the city, waldo tunnel we got word of a crash right here. northbound 101 so it's counteder commute. it is near the waldo tunnel that will be a distraction because there's a car in the middle of roadway right now. i'll track that. so far southbound commute is just fine through drizzle san rafael and the golden gate bridge. there's bay bridge backup. the crash 101 right around sfo is clearing from ground avenue but the slowing clears up as we're down to just the slow. the rest of the bay moves smoothly. no neighbor surprises. the tri-valley and east bay, southbound 880 slows a bit. we are minder that san mateo bridge closes starting friday at 10:00 p.m. and this will go through on through memorial day weekend. back to you.

hilltops, that's enough to ring out drizzle and light rain. we have a slight chance of hilltop instability showers. maybe up there around the north bay and east of san jose for the afternoon and on going showers and thunder showers toward the sierra. we've got the clouds, cool air and ocean air conditioning cranked up later on this afternoon. all those factors combining to keep our temperatures down out of the 70s again today. mid 50s through mid morning. around lunchtime we will see temperatures climbing in the low 60s inland. a few sunny breaks at times but still quite cool around morgan hill. 65. 67 in san jose. notice the light rain and mist at times into san francisco. we got an early start to the giants game. 12:45 this afternoon. similar to what we saw last night. a little bit of drizzle and light rain possible at times as the game goes on. another cool day there in san francisco into the north bay and tri-valley for this afternoon. highs in the mid to upper 60s. now towards oakland this evening we'll see some misty skies outdoors. and splash rather showers

indoors for that game. you will see if you head out to oakland, cool around game time if you're going to parking lots there close to 60 degrees at oracle and we will see a few lighting rain showers on going as the pattern that we're seeing today is going to linger into friday. so that could give us a little bit of drizzle and light rain at times. as it gets towards the weekend is low going to lift out. the temperatures will rebound for the south bay and tri-valley and north bay. low to mid 70s as we start the weekend and through memorial day monday temperatures will cool a little bit. but certainly a lot more mild than the temperatures we will be seeing here for the next couple of days. >> mild traffic flow here. this is the build for san jose northbound 101 at the 680/280 interchange. typical flow as far as the pattern goes throughout the south bay maps. south 17 right around the summit heading out of the area towards santa cruz. we do have a crash blocking one of your two lanes. meanwhile, as we look north of the silicon valley, southbound side of 880 shows the volume

build. disabled vehicle. not disabled vehicle, pg&e truck in your slow lane. i don't know if it's diss abled or doing work there. if there's a cone zone, watch it. tri-valley looks smooth. we're going to talk about the approach on the bay bridge. all of the way down towards richmond for westbound 80 and bay bridge metering lights are on. there's the backup. no surprises through the north bay although we do have a little slowing in mill valley for south 101. mist and drizzle will play a factor in many spots. daly city, bob redell is just off 280. police activity there keeps local commute effected. he'll have that in a second. the san mateo bridge. eastbound is fine. that construction overnight cleared. westbound really bogging down now as is typical but we also have that sign reminding us that this bridge closes again friday. tomorrow night starting at 10:00 p.m. for that over the weekend work that they're doing. like two weeks ago. use the dumbarton bridge or the bay bridge or 237 as options. going to send it back to you. >> thank you very much, mike. update to breaking news now.

a busy bay area intersection closed this morning still after a car chase and crash. actually it was a dump truck chase. the vehicle that officers were trying to catch there. >> the chase started ended up daly city near the intersection of san jose avenue and floornoy street. bob? >> reporter: well, it's been quite a mess. that's why san jose and flournoy at this intersection in daly city, sam and laura, is still shut down. probably be another hour before police and the workers are able to clean it up. that's the stolen dump truck right there. it had been wrapped around the utility pole. took a good hour or two for the two wreckers to remove it. on the back of this wrecker is the red minivan hit by the driver, that stolen dump truck. three people in that minivan taken to the hospital. started around 12:20 this morning. police officers saw the driver of the stolen dump truck driving it in a town home complex.

thought it was odd, unusual. ran the license plates. realized it was stolen. that's when the officer tried to pull over the driver of the stolen dump truck but he was not going to have anything of it. ended up trying to ram the officer, the officer moved out of the way in a squad car and then there was a chase. the chase that went in the south city and then here in daly city, up mission to san jose and flournoy where the driver of the stolen dump truck collide with that minivan and then wrapped the dump truck around the utility pole. the driver did try to run away but police caught him. he was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. will be booked into jail once he's released from the hospital. the three people in the minivan including a 16-year-old girl will also taken to the hospital. two with minor (t&háhp &hc% one seriously hurt but is expected to survive. again, the idea is, the hope to have this intersection here at san jose and flournoy in daly city open by 8:00. somewhat into the morning commute but in times for at

least not to impact the entire commute because this is a main thorough fair for people trying to get to 280. reporting live the daly city, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> keeping a close eye on the traffic impact. update to more breaking news. several young men under arrest in connection with two strong armed robberies in the south bay overnight. >> san jose police say the suspects tried to hide in back yards. it all happened near cropley and morrill avenues.
