we're looking for a crash in palo alto northbound. just outside this screen area. you don't see flowing on the area and our sensors don't show fl flowing. it is blocked at 101, oregon expressway and i will continue to track that in the next few minutes. on 238 northbound, it is unusual, the result of a crash there, northbound 238 just off the 580 split, a motorcycle is down and we will try to get information on the status of the driver and the backup is already formed. metering lights are on. back to you. >> thank you. right now, the search is on for a group of people who ransacked an upscale store in union square and took off with merchandise. it happened at the ferragamo

store. >> the latest victim of the so-called grab and go robberies. >> reporter: that's right. there have been a string of these and tough for security to stop them because you have multiple people going each way. it happened at the store here where there is a security camera at the very front entrance of the store where this all happened. investigators looking at that and also studying this clue, a handprint left behind on the front door they're hoping to lead them to one of the estim e estimated 10 men or women that came here at 6:30 and started grabbing purchases and belts. one employee tried to stop them but they fought back and did get away with an estimated a lot of more than 10,0$10,000. this is the latest in the bay area. look at the december surveillance area in japantown in san francisco on philmore street. three women walk in, take what they can, run out the door with

it should improve later this morning as vector control flies a helicopter over this area. you can see the map a little hard to see this morning. we're talking about the nature preserve area south to the water's edge and south to shoreline park. investigator control wants to kill off the salt marsh mosquitoes hatching early because of our recent rain. these are not the kind of mosquitoes that carries the zika virus so concerning for women and babies but they can carry the west nile virus and bite during the day. you want to avoid the fogging area while helicopters fly elsewhere in the bay area. you can do your part by getting rid of standing water so they have fewer places to breathe and you can fight outside with insect repellent and lemon or

youk leucalyptus oil. you might be wondering whether the fog is dangerous to people. they say it is specific for moerks and not dangerous for people and pets. if you want to find out more on that you can find a link on the information on my twitter feed on kris@nbc and we will be following the fogging later in the morning. >> thank you. we're talking about concerns relating to the zika virus, new cases in tennessee, ohio, and delaware. it could be the key in the bay area. a new test for the virus. blood substantiamples arrived y. right now blood samples are sent to the cdc in atlanta and takes at least two weeks to get results. researchers hope to cut that

down to six hours. experts say the zika virus most common in south america causes babies to be born with abnormally small heads and brain damage. it is decision 2016, donald trump and bernie sanders celebrating big victories. it's being called a decisive moment and big blow for hillary clinton. >> they threw everything at me except the kitchen sink and i have the feeling that kitchen sink is coming pretty soon as well. >> sanders was a big favorite in new hampshire in part because he's from neighboring vermont. clinton is reminding voters there's still a long way to go. on the gop side, trump won decisi decisively. the surprise might have come in second, john kasich, stating a positive message. >> tonight, the light overcame the darkness of negative

campai campaigning. >> voter turnout appears to have set a record. a live report from new hampshire in our next half hour. >> here's the plan. bernie sanders might back this. san francisco leaders are already making plans to spread the wealth when it comes to the revenue boost from super bowl 50. introducing a new resolution for super bowl week revenues to help the homeless and clean tent city encampments and help some street vendors displaced from super bowl city. and it could be months before we know the full economic impact. raiders fans hoping the team can work out a deal to stay in the east bay. here's a look at the coliseum now. they're expected to meet to discuss a possible one year lease extension for the 2016 season. it's looking for a short term home while it explores options for a new stadium.

driv drivers. >> better news, even though it's a slower drive through the castro valley. the miracle driver in this crash is reportedly all right but that's a bad spot. it will add to the slowing off that 235 split. there's a little recovery for the speeds. the better news is a break for folks traveling south through hayward and it means less traffic just for the time being. no big surprises, we have a crash clearing highway westbound chicago highway towards corn cord. you kind of expected that, maybe not that much. we look to the rest of the bay and not a lot of problem and south bay and 101 san jose. a quick look and we are showing you south bay pick up volume and flowing out of novato toward the curve. back to you. coming up, the u.s. could take action today in response to

an economy car program took a huge step forward. >> a computer said to be a driver. >> we tried to look what that driver's license might look like. i think the google car takes a much better picture than mine but he's like 3. we are moving towards this future. the national highway traffic administration sent google a letter in which it said under the rules of the road, it will consider the computer in an automated car to be the driver. this is an enormous step forward for both the scientists and for the regulators. let me give you an example what this means as far as robots and rules. federal rules say the brake pedal has to be on the floor. accessible to the driver. study stuff. in an autonomous car, you don't need a brake pedal.

knits sa s tonight tonig tonig nhtsa says that's fine. if the driver gets a ticket, who pays for it? is google going to be on the hook for traffic tickets or car accidents? what if it's the car's fault? we have questions we never had to ask and don't have answers to. janet yellin will speak to congress for two days this morning. we have a copy of her testimony ahead of time. the former berkeley professor will tell lawmakers she and her committee are likely to slow the pace of future rate hikes if we continue to see signs the economy is slowing. the market should like that news very much even if it's a bit obvious. tesla and twitter and cisco report profits today. a busy day for silicon valley. >> thanks. >> they can't get enough of

109% of average in the southern ciara still needs work. we're at 96% of the average amount of snow pack at this date and we may be getting more snow heading to the end of next week. we'll keep you up to date on that. let's check in with mike to see what's happening as you head out the door. >> the bay bridge toll plaza metering lights creating a backup here. it is not a surprise but more traffic than last night. we see it change from green to yellow. a little slowing expected for the morning commute. a little more expected slowing. concord to pittsburgh, not a major crash but a lot of slowing and slowing after an earlier motorcycle crash did clear. should have a bike and another car there and slowing a distraction.
