northbound and tipped over and that's what led to this big fiery crash. at this time they're treating this as a hazmat situation. investigators on the ground are speculating this may be mineral oil, it is a fatal crash. as far as traffic goes the 880 northbound on-ramp to davis street is shut down as they conduct this investigation. right now we're going to toss it to mike for more information on the morning commute. >> good morning, folks. take you out to what pete is talking about. the rest of the bay. talking a the south bay in one second. pete is talking about here san leandro and the northbound off-ramp at davis is closed because of that deadly crash. and the investigation. the coroner just arrived on scene. that means the investigation is continuing but there's almost the issue of the fuel and the possible mineral oil and whatever was being carried by that tanker truck. that's all possibly a hazmat situation as well. likely all morning. look at the backup starts way back here at washington avenue

where that's an off-ramp option for you. if you need to get to the san leandro b.a.r.t. station, up he here, washington. take you up to davis as well. the on-ramp is open to the freeway itself. slowing as welcoming out of oakland and on in through san leandros well. that's a note for folks traveling through that corridor. as we move out, we see traffic in the south bay as a problem. it's northbound 101 jamming up toward a crash at oakland road. let me give you the live look out there as well when northbound 101 really jammed up right here. the rest of your freeways is showing a normal commute but here the bay shore freeway is jammed up again toward 880 because of a crash at oakland road. follow this on our app all day. for now, back to you guys. >> very busy morning. thank you, mike. moving on to decision 2016, america's waking up to first female presidential candidate from a major political party. last night democrats picked hillary clinton as their leader to help them hold on to the white house and they made so --

"today in the bay's" sharon katsuda is live in salinas of video of not only the flames but dramatic rescue of stranded hikers. sharon? >> reporter: sam, good morning. yes, we just had to move our live shot a little bit because there was so much activity of trucking coming in and out of this area of the command post. you can see some fire trucks showing up here, some personnel from the fire department. there's going to be a debriefing at 7:00 this morning. so all crews are waking up and heading out again right now. they're going to relieve firefighters who worked through the night. firefighters were extremely busy yesterday. it was rescued eight hikers out of the smoke and flames on the south side of the soberanes fire. the hiker said they were stranded for five days and ran out of food and water. the blaze consumed more than 23,500 acres between carmel and big sur and that number will go up because the fire is making a good run up the hilton southeast corner of the blaze.

the fire destroyed 20 homes and threatened 2,000 more homes. >> they will be allowed to go back in the home once the hazard has been mitigated. the fire is active in the south part of the fire like we're talking about now. one of the concerns is that we still injured new hampshifirefi rolling debris, ash pockets, things like that and we have safety equipment. and fortunately there have been no major injuries. minor injuries to a handful of firefighters so that is the good news. back here live today as i said, there will be a debriefing at 7:00 this morning. the cause of the fire is still under investigation. reporting live in salinas, sharon katsuda, "today in the bay." the hikers glad to just be alive. on a sadder note as families evacuate there are some pets who are left behind. specially trained workers with the spca have gone behind the fire lines to rescue foreman 20 animals. those pets are staying at a

shelter while their owners wait for word about their homes. firefighters near los angeles are still trying to get the upper hand on the sand fire. so far 37,000 acres are scorched and 18 homes are destroyed. there is some progress being made. here's the upside. thousands evacuees have been allowed to return to their homes but sadly some found really nothing but ashes remained. >> it's so sad. i just don't know what's going to happen from here. >> just a couple of items that my son michael had made that we had hung on to. >> hard for them to sift through what remains are there. one man was found dead in the fire area. his body discovered in a burned out car. that fire now 25% contained. back here in the bay area, today is the third "spare the air" day in a row. the extreme heat plus all the smoke from the soberanes fire is making some pretty poor air quality. especially in the south bay. >> kari, you were talking about the fact that the winds aren't that strong but they are going

south to north pulling some of that smoke into our area. >> that will be the problem today, sam and laura. as we start to see more smoke drifting in. and not much way in the way of a strong wind to help clear out the air and help mix things out. we are tracking some fog and low clouds along the coastline. you can see the direction of those wind speeds, the numbers in miles per hour. it will pick up as we go into tomorrow. at least for the east bay. but still not really that strong as our winds for most of the bay area will be about five to six miles an hour. the air quality today will be unhealthy in the east bay and the south bay and moderate for the north bay as well as the peninsula, a "spare the air" alert in effect once again. and also some oppressive heat. in gilroy today, 102 degrees. palo alto will be up to 93 degrees. and the castro seeing a high of 78. upper 90s for santa rosa. oakland, 86. 105 in walnut creek. it will be as hot as 107 degrees in the tri-valley. i'll let you know when it starts

to come back down. that's coming up in the microclimate forecast in less than ten minutes. mike is tracking crashes in both san jose and san leandro. >> that's right, kari. we have two issues. as far as the slowing down, better news for san jose. that crash north 101 at oakland road has cleared from lanes. so we have your morning commute and residual slowing from that crash. we'll take you up to much more serious incident and much more serious backup. incident, a deadly crash. big rig caught on fire after that crash and someone died as a result. there's also a possible fuel spill, other fluids remaining in the area. possible hazmat situation remains to be cleaned for much of the morning and possibly in the afternoon. leaving the off-ramp closed back here in washington avenue. get up through the area and davis street and that can be your alternate or stick out the slow down because it's a straight shot. it's two miles as far as that backup extends. look at the southbound side coming into the area. south talking about that crash

in san jose and oakland road that is starting to clear up as the crash happened and cleared a few minutes ago but the rest kul slowing is the problem. take you back out there. sorry. skipped the live camera we have. pete is reporting live all morning and this is the overturned tanker, truck. this is originally thought to be fuel. now we're huge problem with that fire. but now they're saying, no, maybe some mineral oil, baby oil, something of that sort but have to analyze that and experts are going to head out to check that thing out as well. and then we'll get a look at the bay bridge toll plaza. typical backup. remember this may be lighter today because of two things. that crash meeting traffic and jamming up in san leandro coming into the area and the metering lights on the east shore freeway moving smoothly might slow you down getting on to westbound 80 in the morning starting yesterday but hopefully will keep things moving smoothly and that's what we've seen so far. track that as well. back to you. >> thank you, mike. coming up next on "today in the bay," red, white, and blue with gold in their sights. reaction from team usa from kevin durant as he makes his
