still only 15 minutes to the bay bridge toll plaza where there's no real backup. through berkeley, not even lit up to the golden gate field that's why it looks a little dark in the area. you can see how traffic flows in the portion of westbound 80. it gets confusing over there. folks know where they are driving. past the coliseum, easy drive southbound past the san mateo bridge. no slowing right now. here's the golden gate bridge, north bay drives shows at the limit for speed sensors through novato and san rafael and back into san francisco. >> thank you very much. happening today, the brother of stephon clark will be in court. he was arrested for making -- a slew of charges including assault and vandalism and now speaking out from his jail cell. >> i'm sorry, whatever the damage i did -- >> police are not releasing details about what led to his arrest but a sacramento couple
