on ramp because it's closed, but you can take alvarado niles onto the freeway and any of these routes waze outlines. taking 237 would be silly because it takes 15 minutes extra. look at the waze system on your phone and make the choice. you hit the magnifying glass and then your profile name and then select our team. nbc bay area wazers. you can get information from us and share your information with us. >> such an appreciative guy. thank you. up next, jumping into action. a stranger who helped a man pinned between two cars. all of this caught on camera. new video this morning...

drug companies use to gret doctors to prescribe more expensive medications. vermont passed a similar bill nearly a decade ago. democrats say the bill will reduce drug costs for patients. republicans say they need them to help market their drugs. >> not always fun and games or fun and barks at the dog park. the most comment dog park related injuries, a few of them here, nationwide, recently, more than 600,000 insured pets, and they found the most common medical claims were from sprains or soft tissue injuries. second on the list was lacerations or wounds. the most expensive injury was found to be hypothermia and heat stroke brought on by hot weather. >> coming up, two breaking news stories we're covering. a cras involving problems along the east bay freeway this morning. >> plus a rescue under way in the oakland hills. we just launched nbc bay area

woman, but police have been talking to that person, trying to get information about what might have led up to the shooting, and of course, suspect information. police have not made any arrests and they have not released any suspect information as far as a description. one point the police made is this area is known for gang activity and that will be part of their version as to whether or not this murder was gang related. reporting live in san jose, bob redell, today in the bay. >> thanks. >> to a developing story where there's real that the norovirus outbreak in santa clara county we have been reporting on could be spreading to other counties as well. now up to almost 400 students who have gotten sick at 14 different san jose schools. you see them there on that map. now, santa cruz county also reporting cases in its school system. the stomach bug can cause vomiting and diarrhea along with other flu-like symptoms. >> learning more about a severe attack in one of san francisco's

trying to raise money for a highway billboard to warn drivers about that area being a public safety danger zone. voters have shot down several emergency services tax hike measures over the years. the group wants people to be aware of the cost of inadequately funting those services. well, you'll remember this, the 55-foot-high sculpture of a naked woman that caused quite a stir when it was revealed last year. now she's becoming a bit of a social butterfly. the city is starting monthly gatorings at the sculpture which is titled truth and beauty. the events are called thursdays. the fourth thursday of every month features live entertainment, food trucks, and even wine. >> you have to love the bay area. she was just stretching. 5:35 right now. quickly approaching 5:36 this morning. how are we looking out there? >> overall, looking great, but a

couple key spots, three key spots we're watching. one, the freeway at northbound 85, we'll check the speed sensors where we have slowing. north 85 slow because of reports of a crash and not a lot of detail on which lanes are blocked still. but reports of debris across all lanes. i'm tracking the slower drive, and no major injuries reported, but i'm concerned about that crash for the freeway. it might affect you getting onto highway 13. redwood road is closed. originally reported at skyline. people have been removed from the car, but the activity still there, block redwood road which may preaccess to the freeway, and there's a park right by the sceneerse just to give locals a reference. now looking at the rest of the commute, and the travel times look great on the mass transit systems as well. no major issues. b.a.r.t. is operating without any major delays and running

special trains and muni is also compensating for the bay to breakers race this sunday. >> keep your clothes on, too, while you're at it. >> that's the law. >> you can. i don't know that everybody will keep their clothe on for that. we'll find out. >> it's going to be hot this weekend. >> it will. natural air conditioning. >> yeah, natural air conditioning along the coast, it's going to be so nice. what about kicking off the weekend this evening at the a's game? it's going to be nice. at 6:35 at first pitch, 72 degrees. i mean, really, can you beat that? sunshine, and it drops to the low 60s the end of the game. so maybe some long sleeves, a light jacket. tomorrow, we're going to see those highs reaching into the low 70s near the coast and low snients inland. so it will be all about location this weekend. and the type of weather you want to experience,en just take a short drive. dangerous heat inland. if you want something hot, sizzling, then milder weather for the bay, up to 88 degrees on sunday and along the coast, we

stay in the mid 70s with a lot of sunshine. on saturday in oakland at san antonio park, you can enjoy some live jazz music in all of the sunshine. warm temperatures. it does start out in the low 70s, but it quickly becomes very warm we go through today. bring the sunscreen, sunglasses and lots of bottles of water if you're going to be out there for a while. sunday, we were talking about this. some people keeping their clothes on, others not so much. it will be cool to start out. i think a lot of people with temperatures in the low 60s will want at least a layer or two on. we'll see the high temperatures throughout the day reaching into the mid 70s in san francisco. really going to be hot at lake trinity, trinity lake, rather. up to 95 degrees on sunday. so it's really going to be hot farther north and then for yosemite, much cooler. we do still have some snow there. it's 58 degrees for the high today. and then 61 tomorrow. more clouds on sunday, up to 63

degrees. we'll bring it back a little closer to home, carmel valley in the 80s with mostly sunny skies for tomorrow and sunday. we'll take a look at the temperature trend coming up in three minutes. >> we'll look forward to that. thanks so much. 5:39 right now. change is coming to california university. the reason it may be tough for students out of state to get into the uc system. >> the president is aboard air force one, ready to get on his way on his first overseas trip. we'll bring you the latest when today in the bay continues.

ranger right now. you see all the emergency personnel overhead. >> look at that scene there. as we let this picture come into focus. you see the car off the road there in the hills. and again, we do know that several people were removed from the car. obviously, a massive emergency response. you can tell by seeing all the first responders and fire trucks on scene. this is going on at redwood road and skyline boulevard. >> redwood road is still closed at crestmont this morning. all the emergency personnel, we don't know much what caused the accident, who was involved, how many people were in the car. we're trying to gather that as we have a crew on the ground as well. we'll keep you updated. 5:43 right now. >> there is nothing nefarious and no hidden fund at uc president janet napolitano's office. quite a turnaround. that's what the state auditor said who was the first one to discover the $175 million fund,

and he told uc regents that yesterday in san francisco. the auditor said theño' issue instead was the budget process, not with napolitano. the board did tentatively approve an $813 million budget for the president's office yesterday, but one of the board members who also happened to be the house assembly speaker, was disappointed the board didn't hold off on january's tuition hike given this extra cash. napolitano said that money is already earmarked for several projects. >> in the meantime, at that same board meeting, uc regents for the very first time capped the number of out of state students that campuses can accept. that number is now fixed alt 18%. four campuses already exceed that cap, and that includes cal and ucla. those school caps are going to be coming later. uc system was accused of denying qualified california students acceptance in exchange for nonresidents because they pay more in tuition. they threatened to withhold

funding if it cap was not put in place. 18% is still lower than other state run universities in the country. >> president trump getting ready to leave on his first overseas trip president. first up, saudi arabia. >> we start the day with no major kroerbs. >> day is still young. you're right, though. we had about eight business days in a row every day we were faced with a blukbuster announcement. "the new york times" tweeted out this screen shot of somebody's phone. if you follow the news carefully the past two weeks you have been flipping through this. it's been exhausting with all the breaking news, right? there have been sn[updates. utah's jason chaffetz who would have led the investigation into trump, has announced he's quitting congress. here he is making that anoujsment from his home near salt lake city. this is a fellow who said he would have his subpoena pen ready. he has been hinting he's going to leave for a while but it's very unusual to leave midterm. very, very unusual for a congressman leading a major

investigation to quit at all. now, there's still plenty of people investigating the white house, including another house committee, a senate committee, the fbi, special council. this is new video this morning of sam was talking about, the president boarding air force one, getting ready to leave for saudi arabia. trump yesterday denied he ever pressured comey to end the fbi investigation into michael flynn. we learned more about this very strange scene where the president blew comey a kiss a day or two after the ina inaugurati inauguration. they said comey told friends he didn't want the president to notice him in the room, so comey, who is very tall and wearing a blue suit, intentionally stood in front of the blue curtains in an attempt to fit in. comey's always been worried about appearing too friendly with presidents. barack obama used to inhim to play basketball, but comey thought it was inappropriate for a president and the head ofñr t nominally independent fbi to hang out. i want to leave you with one thing. video making its rounds with conservatives of comey's

testimony back in may. >> sir, is the attorney general or senior officials a the department of justice opposes a specific investigation, can they halt that fbi investigation? >> in theory, yes. >> as it happened? >> not in my experience. because it would be a big deal to tell the fbi to stop doing something that without appropriate purpose. >> that's interesting because it's been said comey has records that show the president tried to convince him to stop the investigation back in february, and that testimony was from may. though to be specific, the congresswoman asked if he was told to halt an investigation by anybody from the justice department, he says no. that question and answer would not include the president, but sam and laura, i think it's worth reasking the question perhaps in a future hearing just so we have better understanding of exactly what he meant. >> thank you, scott. >> we need a timeline. thank you very much. scott examining our president's tweets, executive orders and peaches each and every morning.

he would like to hear for umyou, too. very easy to get in touch with him. you see his twitter handl handle, @scottmcgrew. >> time for a look at weather and traffic together. three letters to describe the weekend. hot. >> not f-r-y? tgif? >> it's going to be hot this weekend. that's all we have been talking about. that's what people will be talking about when you get to work or school. it is a weekend to prepare for sizzling temperatures, especially inland. let's take a live look outside at sunol. beautiful sunrise and look how cool it is. only 49 degrees. at least you can turn off the air conditioner, maybe the house will cool down some before it heats up later on today. looking live at san francisco, toward twin peaks. it's 53 as you get ready to head out the door and then the highs in the south bay reaching 89 degrees. los gatos, up to 90 degrees. 90 also in livermore, and for the peninsula, 68 at half moon

bay. san mateo will be up to 80 degrees and the embark daro at 73. santa rosa and napa will see a high today of 90 degrees. so it will be very hot, especially for those inland valleys. as you're looking out the window, we're in the closet getting ready for the day. you will need a lights jacket. later on today, a day for short sleeves and also shorts. and don't forget the sunglasses, too, because we'll have very summerlike weather for not only today but the next couples. and looking at those temperatures for the peninsula right there along the coast, this will be one of the best areas in the bay to go hiking or spend time at some of the parks. we start out with some clear skies within the next couple hours, temperatures in the low 50s, and then upper 50s by 10:00. still very comfortable, especially if you're active, and by 2:00, it gets up to 68 degrees with breezy winds. san francisco really won't see much of a change in the temperatures until next week when it starts to cool down.

highs only in the low 60s by the middle of next week. inland valleys will be in the 90s for the next four days. and then it starts to come down a few degrees each day. the cooling trend will be more gradual for the inland spots. as we head over to mike, you're tracking now three significant crashes. >> that's right. the first we're showing is where sky ranger is located over the oakland hills. redwood road is currently closed because of this crash right at crest mont. that's not far from skyline, but it does not include skyline as part of the closure. you're looking at the hillside and right there is the car that crashes, it looked like it went off the roadway and through a tree. significant damage to the car. we have seen a number of emergency vehicles leave the scene. we'll track that. as far as i know, they still have the road closed for this investigation. let me show you where that is on the map. as you're approaching highway 13, the freeway between skyline and the freeway, that may be an issue for the morning commute approaching the freeway. you might want to get over to

joaquin miller. watch for local traffic control as the situation changes. meanwhile, the freeway through piedmont andland moving well. also looking at the big map and not a of slowing but more slowing building north 85, approaching 237. that crash and debris still in lanes and causing more of an issue now. back to you. >> thank you, mike. coming up next on today in the bay, following three breaking newsxd stories with ou crews spans across the bay area. we have updates coming up and new information coming up. >> plus, do you feel like you're a little bit of a boy? >> a small bit. >> okay. >> what if your 4-year-old son tells you he feels more like your daughter? how early is too early for medical treatment? i'm bigad shiban. we investigate the debate on how to best care for transgender kids. >> thank you. first, happening right now, breaking news. two chinese fighter jets have apparently buzzed a u.s. spy plane flying over the east china sea. the u.s. plane sniffed out
