highway 4. the most recent one taking place last night on highway 4, which is right behind me. you can see the best damage there. that's where the victim's car crashed off the highway and ended up here at california near the intersection with diane. this was around 8:00 the driver was headed westbound when tear car was hit with several bullets. the driver lost control, went off the road, through that fence, on to california, which you are fol not familiar, runs parallel to the highway t. driver was declared dead on the scene. they issued a sig alert. shut down the westbound connection until 1:00 in the morning until it can do its investigation and try to figure out what led up to this. this is the 17th highway shooting to take place on east bay freeways over the past six months. >> we'd like for it to stop. this is just getting too rough here. i mean, innocent people can get hurt here and, you know, it just happened too often. every two months, we were having a shooting on the freeway and

that's scary, but there's a lot of road rage. people will lose their tempers real fast. just in changing lanes. >> reporter: law enforcement doesn't know yet whether last night's shooting whats the result of road rage, gang violence or something else. reporting live here in pittsburg, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much, bob. new details, san jose leaders pharaohly approved new rent control limits that will impact thousands of families. councilmembers voted 6-to-5 to change the rent ordinance for the first time in more than 30 years. hundreds packed the meeting. changes include limiting annual rent increases to 5% him councilmembers approved an ordinance outlawing retaliation evictions. if at the end of small town living? that's what many people fear, a massive new retail and housing project gets approved. the north 40 project was up for

discussion last night. it is a proposed 40-acre development right next to highway 17. it would be 320 residential units and 58,000 square feet of retail space. city leaders eventually decided to create a study group to inform the public about all the aspects of the project. >> i think it behooves all of us, a planning commission. the council, the school board and the public to be on the same page of information. >> i can't believe that a town of the size of that like of this magnitude did not go through. >> the north 40 project has been under public discussion for eight years now. the planning commission will tack up the proposal once again next week. front runners hillary clinton and donald trump, delivering crucial victories in new york's primary. nothing like a little home cooking. and a much needed boost as they now look towas the future. >> new york, home to clinton and trump, of course, and both xandz hard in that state.

it paid off, huge victories with big margins for both of them. donald trump with 66% of the vote, john kasich won a handful of delegates as well. he's still behind marco rubio, rubio left the race weeks ago. hillary clinton showing those polls were pretty spot on in the weeks leading up to the new york primary. she wins with 58% of the vote. more than a million people voted for her in new york state. that's more votes than all three republicans combined. clinton, now looking to unite the party. >> and to all the people who supported senator sanders, i believe there is much more that unites us than divides us. >> we don't have much of a race anymore, based on what i'm seeing on television. we're going to go into the convention i think as the winner. >> trump doing well in the polls as we look ahead, up next, voters in connecticut, delaware, maryland, pennsylvania and rhode island, all head to the polls on

next tuesday. >> all right, california is still out there and some political experts think that our primary, which is coming up in june and contains the most delegates will still play fundamental role in the presidential nominations. at least if not for hillary, certainly for donald. nbc bay area political analyst believes that donald trump could clinch in california on june 7th. >> it's possible he can walk away after california with enough delegates. it's also possible with so many states still out that he may not have enough and in that case, it would be an open or what some people call a contested convention. >> solarry thinks that:t will ramp up the democratic nomination before the golden state votes. the senate county registrars office still expecting record turnout this year. it's purchased four new mail-in ballot county machines. >> in the meantime the current president is still pushing for

free community college. jane kim is making city college of san francisco free for people that live and work in the city. she says it would cost about $13 million a year. that money will come from raising taxes on the wealthy t. supervisors is hoping voters will take up that issue in november. electric vehicle owners have a new place to charge their cars in the south bay. >> a new charging centers opens today at the public parking garage. right across from levi stadium. the center features 48 charging stations in one so-called super quick fast charger. the city of santa clara and silicon valley power worked towing to open that. >> super quick fast charger. it takes a long time to charge up those cars. kari hall, you have a hybrid car. you know what we're talking about. >> you need a fast charger for the teslas. other cars are fine with a regular car charger. we'll have a beautiful day for riding with the windows down. we start out with the morning with definitely a jacket needed

that distraction is clearing from that road just off of 80. back to you. >> thank you, very much, mike. coming up, weeding out past problems t. crackdown happening today in san francisco as people flock to the city. >> plus, intel with massive layoffs this morning. what effect does it have to the bay area economy? we'll have a look coming up in business tech. and a live look right now at the sap center downtown san jose t. sharks hoping to prey on the kings and take a three games to one lead over their arch rivals in round one of the playoffs. puck drops tonight at 7:30. we're back in two minutes. today is "4-20", the unofficial

holiday for pot smokers.

>> happening today, checking out the calendar him today is officially april 20th or 4/20, the unofficial holiday for pot smokers. >> a lot of people will be headed to san francisco. thousands expected to attend the festivities today in golden state park a. group of san rafael high school students in the '70s nicknamed the waldos created the celebration. they a0parently would get high at 4:20 after school. >> we want 4/20 to be like new year's eve, last a week. >> marijuana was kind of being passed around to folks who were underage, a lot of trash and vandalism and urination. >> sounds like fun. city workers will be on hand to try to clean up during today's celebration, more officers will be patrolling as well. there will be street closures around hippy hill starting at 10:00 a.m.. there is something in the air. not just in san francisco overall. also at dolores park.

an outdoor urine nal not sitting well. two groups are making it a unique urinal at doris park intended to stop people from paying in the bushes. some conservatives, not from the neighborhood, filed a lawsuit in the hopes of getting rid of it. >> this huge regression of man kind and this ridiculous proposal must be condemned and terminated. >> this blatantly violates the restoration act of 1973 and of course the americans with disabilitiesing a. >> the outdoor urinal does not accommodate women or the disabled, what those remarks were talking about. city leaders say that's because there are two other traditional bathrooms in the park. we should also mention that according to southern poverty law center, the two groups suing are the same ones trying to stop unify sex bathrooms and one is phone as an lgbt hate group. well, people will be soon driving down harvey milk boulevard if salt lake city.

>> isn't that interesting? the largest city, also home to the mormon church unanimously voted to name the street after the late supervisors. he was the first openly gay official in the country. he was assassinated alongside the mayor george mosconie, it shows their state is an open an inclusive city. one of silicon valley's biggest companies about to get much smaller. >> intel says it's going to lay off a staggering 12,000 people. scott mcgrew, we have been in the boom cycle for some time now. is that the big question? >> that's a big question. a lot of families, salaries bigger than that. santa clara based intel says it will cut 11% of the work force globally. that works out to that 12,000 number, give or take. now, that's globally, not all of the layoffs will come in the south bay, but, frankly, many

will. intel says it's restructuring. it's pivoting away from dhip chips for another things. so that is our first indication this might not be the sign of a darker day for the bay area economy, if we think of these layoffs as the result of that pivot. not because the economy is slowing. it's obviously no help to the families affected. but we've seen several companies pivot and shed jobs. hewlett packer sends people packing all the time. we've forgotten how many over the years. hp is trying to figure out what it's supposed to be. analysts at the respected replacement firm say it would be wrong to assume that increased job cuts are a weakness in the text sector. the industry is going through a transformation. companies have to either shift their focus or risk instings. so maybe not. dark days to come yet. let's check your news before the bell, landon dowdy is live. good morning, landon.

it comes on top of all the flooding they had recently and several inches of rain, even feet of rain. and now here in the bay area, we're tracking a couple spotty light showers that may move into the north bay later on today. another storm system that may be approaching moves in on friday. >> that will bring us widespread rain into the bay area. in the meantime, slightly cooler temperatures today, reaching into the low '80s. we will talk more about that rain, what to exeffepect and a at the weekend. >> let's head over to mike tracking a major issue. >> in fact the crash is in union city, i'll take you don't to fremont. it sound like they will run a track break for another five minutes through this area. chp giving us few details. they're working quickly to get some relief. we will zoom over toward fremont. we are jamming up from freedom boulevard from.com road up to alvarado. as i understand it, they're running a traffic bridge. they have to make sure they can
