a quarter mile north of the brokaw road exit. this happened around 4:20 this morning and it's the result of careless driving. two women in an suv cut off this big rig and the big rig flipped and the suv wrecked. the injuries of the driver of the big rig and the two women in the suv are minor. they are expected to be okay. the tow truck people have been able to move that suv. they've been able to upright the cab. the problem is a trailer. it is a full load of packages. it's a heavy load so they're trying to figure out whether it would be quicker to offload all the packages on that truck or use air bags to upright this trailer. it could take another hour, two, maybe even three as a result though fortunately right now it's still a little bit early in the commute. if you look at the headlights,

they're heading northbound right now towards the scene. there is slowing, but this slowing only goes back perhaps about 100 yards. when you get here the traffic slows down. when this becomes a problem is if this is still going on later in the commute which chp is afraid could be the case. there goes another ups driver. it's a matter of them trying to figure out how to remove this full load of packages, whether they're going to upload it, offload it or use air bags to upright it. as far as the morning commute is concerned and where we're at right now, i'm going to send it over to mike. good morning. bob showed you those headlight coming toward us. the side with the flares and the two lanes that are open is the southbound side. we're looking at a calm drive around the bay. this is just south of the san jose international airport. this is the first slowing we've

had on the maps, but it slows as folks head toward the flares. counter your typical commute and the activity likely to cause some distraction for the northbound side as well. we don't see anything unusual right now about your travel times from 85 past that airport. there is slowing there as well as capital expressway. travel time is just a couple of minutes longer. if you take 85, those are two different routes getting to the same destination. smoother traffic toward sfan francisco, but the toll plaza shows the backup and it's a standard picture over there. we see the east shore freeway. things are calm as far as dry roads, but you have some changes ahead as well. we're seeing clouds increase around the bay area as we look

at some of the conditions on the weather computer. you see 50s across the board. clouds over san francisco. mild temperatures today as the clouds will be on the increase. starting tomorrow we'll be watching our friday storm system approaching the coast and more active weather as we head into the weekend and some spots will beat monthly rainfall totals. donald trump is threatening to sue "the new york times" this morning over a report he allegedly groped women. the republican presidential candidate denies the claims of several women, one of whom told the times he touched her inappropriately as he sat next to her on a plane and the other woman says trump kissed her on the lips. the campaign denies it and questions the timing when women are divided. >> every place i go i see hundreds of women for trump and then i see a poll he's not doing

well with women. i don't get it. >> i feel the election is muddied but i'm still with trump 100%. >> you listen to what he says and you hear about his actions and the things he's done to people over the years and there's no way i can support him. >> those are republican men. coming up in half an hour nbc's tr . hillary clinton is back in town for her final bay area visit before the election. last night she was in las vegas facing criticism after wikileaks released e-mails that reveal a top staffer mocking catholics. u.s. intelligence claims those e-mails were stolen by russian hackers. election day quickly approaching. we are 26 days away for all the top headlines in the presidential election as well more about the local races that

been demolished. this week new funding was approved for erosion projects. rob, this storm will hit right in the heart of the morning commute. it could be ugly. >> after today which looks fine on the coast with 60s and 70s, big changes tomorrow. the prime components of coastal erosion, high waves, gusty winds, heavy rain, we'll see that tomorrow with a coastal flood advisory and waves to 20 feet at times. the rain progresses for friday morning's commute for the central bay before the rain moves to the south as we head towards friday evening. wind and rain tomorrow morning and a break saturday afternoon and more rain for sunday with showers lingering into monday morning's commute. we're focusing our attention

because the rest of the bay is moving smoothly, we're looking at this by san jose international airport. a chopper is over the scene. you see the overturned rig is there respect there's the trailer and the rig that was pulling it. they're trying to figure out how to clear that rig and figure out if they have to offload the trailer. two southbound lanes at the 101 are blocked. this is a distraction and some minor slowing at the scene. northbound not seeing delays. as the volume builds up in the northbound commute direction that distraction is likely to cause more slowing. so far it's looking like the typical pattern over there at capital express way and approaching 680 and 880. over here in pleasanton nothing unusual. now slowing across the san matteo and a slower push to the peninsula and approaching the bay bridge you have a slower drive. at the top of the screen your

talking about. 20 to 30 miles an hour near the coast. some gusts may approach 45 miles an hour. both friday morning and saturday night you see the speeds picking up. rain totals impressive around the bay area. friday's storm could break monthly averages in some spots. north bay could be looking at two to three inches of rain with eight to ten inches of rain possible on the north coast by the end of next week. saturday during the day could be a nice break. more rain comes in saturday night and rain heavy at times on sunday and the showers taper off as we head into monday morning's commute. here's mike. most of the bay looking fine. a later volume of traffic, but san jose that lighter volume is met with a bigger problem. right here at the airport, that crash that blocks two lanes of

southbound 101 around brokaw. it looks like they're moving right now as we speak moving some flares. perhaps they're getting ready to open a lane in the southbound direction. you see all traffic stopped. they're realigning these flares, but that overturned rig still there, the trailer blocking the slow lane and part of the shoulder. the investigation and they have to figure out how to move the truck. there's the temporary traffic break. we'll show you on the map where that is. it's south of the airport. it's light, but in a typical pattern here. the southbound side is where you'll see the traffic break again. we'll show you the chopper coming up. in san francisco, better news. the roadway reopened for all lanes off the skyway, but there are reports of a serious crash involving a pedestrian. the investigation has cleared from that scene and we'll follow

welcome back. san jose's police department staffing shortage means fewer

officers on campus. the superintendent of the east side union high school district tells us that because so many san jose police officers are working mandatory overtime, there aren't enough officers to work school campuses. gone are the days where there was an officer on every campus. >> god forbid you have an active shooter on campus, just knowing you had that officer on campus. two, it allows for them to support us on making sure that people do not belong on campus do not come on the campus. >> the district tells us they have the money for officers, but sometimes there just aren't enough officers able to meet the demand. the district has resorted to hiring private security for football games and dances. forget roasting mash mabls on the beach, new fire rules mean that as of today fires will not be allowed there through the he sa end of february. they will include the first ever

the trailer, figure out where the weight is right there. from that point they'll figure out if they can upright it using cable. that would probably take just one hour. so the idea is that if everything goes as planned, they could have this upright by 7:30. that's going to be well into the morning commute. it will take a little time after that to get it off the road. it was around 4:20 this morning that this u.p.s. big rig tractor-trailer was heading southbound on 101 when two women were in an suv, an acura, according to chp. they cut off the driver. the driver of the big rig overturned, collided with the suv. southbound 101 north of the brokaw road here in san jose. all three people, the two women in the suv and the driver of the big rig taken to the hospital with minor injuries. they've already removed the suv and the truck, the cab part of the tractor-trailer. now they're trying to get this

trailer upright. ups has people out here ready to offload it. obviously getting it uprighted is the quickest plan of action. the eta is one hour is what they're saying right now. as far as the morning commute is going, your headlights right here are heading southbound on 101. there is significant slowing once you get up to the scene. if i take a look down further southbound. mike inouye probably has a better idea with his sensors and maps and whatnot, mike. >> bob is showing progress, we hope progress in the next hour, trying to figure out the strategy for riding that rig. this is southbound counter to your commute. most of the push is northbound. you see the volume building. that may be a distraction, but we'll look over here. as bob is saying, this is just south of the airport. the slowing we saw was highway

87 over to brokaw. a short section of the bayshore freeway holding at 60 miles per hour right now except right at the scene. the chopper is overhead as well. we will talk you through that. might have been confusing. this is on the southbound side of 101. two lanes are blocked. they're trying to get that tow truck hooked up and pull that trailer. lightning is pretty tough for us on the camera. because lighting is at a minimum, no a lot of distraction for the freeway. that's better news. we'll get you back up to the maps. we'll show you the rest of the commute as well as we look at 101 through san jose, no major slowing for those freeways except for in the typical northbound direction off 87 and 280. we do have an issue, 92 across the bay, the san mateo bridge looks like there may be a crash. i see a lot of slowing there. but i don't see a lot of problems as far as anything else. changes ahead weatherwise. >> right now we've got 40s and 50s outside.

that in a second. i want to show you the slowdown which starts to build, southbound 101 around brokaw. the overturned big rig trailer there, ups truck trying to figure out how they can lift this so they have some tow trucks trying to test the weight. bob redell will give us an update. northbound distracted, so the map shows slowing in both directions just around the area of san jose international airport. northbound push starts in earnest through san jose. despite all that distraction on highway 101, your travel time only differs by a few minutes. you take 101 versus 85 which is completely to the south side of the south bay, but up towards sunnyvale. as we're looking toward the map again, we see the san mateo bridge still crawls so the dumbarton bridge is a good alternate. we're seeing more traffic. we'll show the live shot as we explain a crash midspan on san mateo bridge. crawling 880 toward the flat

newse've beenollowing sincwe ca4 welcome back. before you head out the door, we can update you on the breaking news we've been following since we came on air at 4:30. >> "today in the bay's" bob redell live at the scene. a big rig crash has snarled up traffic for the morning commute.

how is it looking now, bob? >> reporter: as you can see, your headlights are heading southbound on 101 north of the brokaw road exit. it's because of this overturned ups tractor-trailer right over here that's causing this backup. right now we understand according to chp it probably won't be until around 7:30 to get this trailer upright. the problem is it is a full load of packages so they don't want to tear the trailer as they're turning it upright. they've got a wrecker out here that will lift it slightly, try to gauge where the weight is and see if they can get it upright again. the estimated time is around 7:30. this happened around 4:20 this morning according to chp. there were two women in an suv who cut off the driver of this ups big rig causing this accident. the two women in the suv and the driver of the ups truck were taken to the hospital. fortunately their injuries are

minor. they're all expected to be okay. they have since removed the suv and the cab of the tractor-trailer. it's just a matter of getting this tractor-trailer upright. the eta, 7:30 this morning. looking at another 30 minutes or so. it could be a little later. once they get it upright, they still have to move it. that could add to the time. these are your head lieds heading southbound north of brokaw road. a lot of looky-loos trying to see what's going on. live in san jose, bob redell, "today in the bay." authorities in the south bay wrapped up a two-day sting operation. we were the only station there last night as undercover agents made several agents at an unidentified santa clara hotel. that sting involved authorities setting up rendezvouses through sex websites. investigators say there will be no jail time for the sex workers but they will receive misdemeanor citations, so will a number of johns who were

arrested. a list of things to do today including bringing in the cushions and the furniture. you're warning us. >> cleaning out the gutters, too. >> i'm not doing that. sorry. >> this afternoon weather looks good. mild temperatures around the bay area. southerly winds could see upper 70s south of downtown san jose. the rain and pinned picking up tomorrow morning. more rain saturday night into sunday. >> mike, you haven't got your mind in the gutters. >> no, on the bridge and the south bay. we have a pleasant drive except for san mateo bridge. west 92 is jammed all the way toward the high-rise. the dumbarton bridge to south 84 is much more pleasant route. the chopper is overhead. this is a short section of slowing, but the distraction here as they continue to right this rig. bob said 7:30 is hopeful. i'm thinking 8:00 at least before we can see some improvement.

we'll track this. fortunately so far minor impacts. stay in your route for the bayshore freeway. >> that's what's happening "today in the bay." >> we'll see you at 11:00. good morning. the accused. at least four women come forward claiming donald trump touched or kissed them inappropriately, some claims going back decades. >> he was like an octopus. it was like he had six arms. he was all over the place. >> a string of pageant contestants all around the country claiming he walked in as they were dressing. trump denies all the allegations and threatening to sue. the actress who trump made lewd comments about during that hot mike moment speaks out in an exclusive interview. >> do you accept his apology? >> that was an interesting apology. breaking overnight. a u.s. warship launches cruise missiles into yemen, retaliation
