we have to start with you, mike. busy >> as the big rig tow truck arrives, the live scene. our photographer is at the scene. there is the big rig tow truck arriving and it is now trying to hook up. you see these guys in -- and in the orange over here, these are our caltrans crew. this big rig truck is trying to hook up to right there. that is a big rig trailer which was carrying pineapple. that is over on the side and it has to be cleared but one lane opened minutes ago. that is the better news. at least traffic is flowing, the bad news is after that crash, one person does have major injuries taken from the scene. as we look at your map. we're showing this near full closure getting over toward the bridge is constricting traffic and backing up out of rodeo into crockett. and skyway cannot access 880 but pomona can but over toward the smaller street you can get on to the carquinez bridge. and if you are traveling from

the east bay, highway 4 is a winding and longer route and prepare for the delay from the east bay and upper east shore toward solano county. and the bay bridge is not the problem, but it is down here toward the coliseum. 880 had a crash and only lanes open near heggen burger. you see the flyover north toward the coliseum. i should get you out of the way and the back-up to the coliseum. if you are north at 66 or high street, you're okay up to downtown but we're following the crash and the fire there. i'll show you a video coming up. i heard that bob redell -- there is our video there. as we show you this video, again this is the crash on the nimitz blocking 880 but here we have bob redell stuck in the back-up getting up to this pineapple over turned truck. what is it like where you are. >> reporter: the back-up on eastbound 880 is about 15 or 20

minutes and that is how long we've been in it and still a half -- a mile from the scene and but the number one fast lane is open but all of the other lanes are shut down so we have the back-up because of this big rig that was carrying pineapple and over turned and caught fire around 1:30 this morning and we understand the driver was ejected and does have some pretty serious injuries. there is no estimates time yet on when this road will be reopened. we do -- we're right now at the coming skyway off-ramp where we see some drivers getting off and that is not a -- could get on the 80 eastbound. this is reverse commute. so the westbound 80 does look good right now. i don't see too much in the way of looky-loos slowing down traffic. but this could be a problem for people trying to get out of town. trying to get out of -- this is the start of the memorial day weekend. something to keep in mind if you are trying to get out of town this weekend.

live here on eastbound 80, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> a lot of activity out there. in the meantime, i'm sure you're making plans for your memorial day weekend. >> and if you are planning to travel, you may encounter showers and thunderstorms east of the bay area. so if you are driving, a big heads up. let's look at the radar. tracking a active. if you will be going just through east toward sacramento and over the sierra, look at the lightning strikes firing up. as we track that, only spotty showers for the bay area this morning. mostly some light rain and it has been very hit or miss. but this is what we can expect as you head out on this friday morning. but showers moving through for the coast and the north bay. so i'll have more on this and what is a head for the holiday weekend once this clears. that is coming up in just a few minutes. >> and as you join that holiday rush today, if you are headed to san jose international, this

weekend expect company between graduation ceremonies, holiday travel, sjc expecting a lot of traffic. you're encouraged to get to the airport dad time, that is two hours early for your flight. >> a lot of times it is 45 minutes. if you are heading to the beach, santa cruz during the summer could have some miserable gridlock as people try to get around. >> los gatos, yeah. kris sanchez is in los gatos with what the town is trying to do to keep the peace between beach-goers and neighbors and businesses. are they shutting down the off-ramp? they did that last year. >> reporter: they did that last year and the years before but they won't this year because they spent $300,000 each of the summers and it just doesn't work. it just ended up pushing the traffic into other neighborhoods around the area. closing the off-ramp into and out of los gatos didn't keep the

beach-goers on highway 17 as planned and off residential streets just shifted the spill-over. here are folks affects. >> it is basically the same. the traffic is still the same. you have to get there early. >> i've lived in the bay area my whole life and you schedule your time and try it leave early and it does get backed but i don't blame people for getting out about and enjoying the sunshine. >> in summer nights in the summertime they have the reconcert. i would never drive it, no matter what time. because traffic anywhere in the bay area is bad. >> reporter: so you wonder what now? the town of los gatos, i talked with the mayor and the public works director and they say they are going to spend about $50,000, but that money will be focused on local traffic, neighborhood traffic for residents, particularly. and they are working with maps apps like waze to make sure

these local surface streets are categorized as such because they can't handle the freeway traffic. and also asking drivers to avoid the peak hours, to get on the road before it is most busy which is 11:00 in the morning until 3:00 in the afternoon. they're asking the residents to be patient during those hours and perhaps plan their errands for those off peak times. and also reminding all of us that highway 17 even when it is a pain in the neck, it is the most sufficient way to get over the hill into santa cruz, and wherever you going to the beach. also, they are looking at a long-term slee -- solution that would be for how traffic volume could be increased on highway 17 and that is not just up to los gatos, that is up to caltrans as well. the town also created a hotline for folks to kind of vent frustrations, report the traffic problems, come up with some solutions for the beach traffic. we have it up here on your

screen. it is beach traffic at los gatosc.gov and call in and they are trying to free up the 911 and emergency call lines so that if folks have an emergency, they can get through instead of getting log jams, not only in the traffic but in the log jam of the phone call of people calling emergency personnel about traffic. traffic not an emergency, it is just an annoyance. and we have talked with folks who say the ride into los gatos and they have positioned police officers around town and have them direct traffic. well the town said there is nowhere to send the folks when they end up in town because it is all backed up. and there just isn't enough overtime money in the budget for all of the police officers. so if you don't live here, be considerate and if you live here, make sure and we are patient because summertime is supposed to be fun. in los gatos, kris sanchez, nbc bay area news. >> people could just pull over and support the town of los gatos. there are a lot of great shops.

>> and great restaurants as well. and then we'll turn into a parking issue story. and the dream of extending b.a.r.t. to livermore set back indefinitely. board members voted down the proposed extension which you see here. it would have stretched b.a.r.t. five miles from dublin and plsz anton and they the proposal. it would take eight years to complete and surpass $1 billion. instead they hope to focus on modernizing the current that followed some passionate pleas from people who live in livermore. >> i take b.a.r.t. because some people are for getting our roads are at a stand-still most of the day, including saturday and sunday now. b.a.r.t. is a significant betterment to so many people's lives. >> while the project is appears to be all but dud, there is

still one possibility. they could post it to the tri-valley regional authority and they could possibly extend b.a.r.t. to san jose. so this isn't the only b.a.r.t. story today. big new connection to the east bay starting service this weekend. pete suratos is and talking to passengers. we'll check in with him at 5:30. and a dramatic going in the harvey weinstein drama. he is carrying legal materials about 30 minutes ago, he turned himself in. prosecutors in new york charging him with sex crimes, including rape, tied with two cases. in the past he has denied all claims of nonconsensual sex despite accusations and -- of harassment and sexual assault from dozens of women. winestein is expected to be arraigned and then released on

this big back-up. and only one lane around pomona is where the crash is located and we had the overturned vehicle as well so we have all of that activity blocking all but one lane. the tow truck trying to get there to help out as they right the rig, but carrying a heavy load of pineapple so we'll track that. this is a problem toward the north bay. we'll track that, but the venetian bridge is your alternate right now. up next, a check in the day's big news and including a major regulatory overhaul for the internet. and hear from the man who admits he robbed and hurt an elderly con court woman. how a jailhouse interview shows coming up at 5:25 alternate righ

offline a day after reported by security researcher nsz april and no evidence any information was accessed. and the internet is good to go over a major overhaul. the gdpr or general data protection regulation is forcing thousands of companies big an small to change how they collect and handle people's personal information. even if they have no physical operation in europe. companies are now required to tell customers exactly how the data is being used and consumers will get new rights including being able to delete data when they leave an app or site. this means companies such as facebook and google will change the privacy policies for all consumers. not just those who live in europe. you may have received e-mails to that effect this week. >> we did, meg. thank you. and 5:17. are you ready fore and rock music? weekends are busy in wine country. >> the fest cal kicks off today in napa. a three-day event drawing a lot of people. thousands upon thousands to the

alternate out of the east bay but through the east bay, no back-up and no metering lights because it is the friday before memorial day holiday. so still a tough drive toward 66. one lane blocked by an earlier truck and fire and crash here. north 880 approaching hegenberger and toward the coliseum and two spots with big traffic. back to you. >> very busy morning since we came on air at 4:30. and let's check in with kari for a three-day weekend. >> and some wet weather traveling outside of the bay area. for us, we're waking up to cloudy excise and some spotty light rain. there have been heavy downpours across napa county and solano count this morning. as you get just to the north of fairfield from vacaville, we do have some rain coming down quite heavily at this point and a lot of the storms have been east of sacramento. but still this disturbance moving across the region. we'll keep it unsettled through the day. and now talking about weekend

to work. >> there you go. a lot of people looking for an extended weekend. >> if you are trying to get an early start and hit the road, heads up. we do have scattered showers across the region. especially if you are going to h -- at tahoe. thunderstorms for the morning but throughout the afternoon as well. so it doesn't matter what time you leave. and we'll have a chance of some showers and in san francisco and most light but it is going to be cool and cloudy all day long. upper 50s for the high. and then tomorrow even with the sunshine, it is still going to be cool. starts to feel a lot better for the parade happening throughout the weekend and on monday. 73 degrees. in san jose, a cool and cloudy day. 63 is the high. but 69 tomorrow. and for the taco festival, looking good and also a warmer sunday on the way. up to 86 degrees on memorial day. and in concord, we also have some rain chances throughout today. cloudy skies and then looking

very nice for tomorrow with a high of 74 degrees. 82 on sunday and then 92 degrees on monday. now it is going to be heating up inland and also for bottle rock and napa valley. of course everyone has an eye on this forecast and sunday looking pretty good as we wrap up the festival, 79 for the high temperature and 85 on monday. and for the sierra, more of the showers and storms moving through. highs in the upper 40s to low 50s and then by sunday it all clears out and the concert and for tonight we'll watch out for the rain by monday up to 71 degrees with sunshine. in monterey, the california root festival going on and it is going to be cloudy. still spotty showers and cool and breezy tomorrow. and then more sunshine on sunday, monday looking really nice and most likely we'll be heading back to the bay area. if you are going to l.a., it is going to be in the upper 60s and pretty dry all weekend long for the tri-valley. upper 60s for tomorrow.

80 on sunday. and 88 degrees on monday. so we are looking at this big warming trend underway. and we'll talk about what that means for the forecast here in the bay area. that is coming up in just a few minutes. >> sounds good. the travel rush. let's talk about it. millions hitting the road. and next why experts say high gas prices will not stop anybody from taking off. and a scary invasion of privacy for one family. their smart speaker recorded them, and then sent the conversation to a random person. amazon's brand-new explanation this morning. maybe you could save energy by

weaving your own shoes... out of flax. or simply adjust your thermostat. do your thing, with energy upgrade california.

right now at 5:44 on this friday morning. the area of low pressure moving through the bay area. bringing us a lot of clouds and some spotty rain. some of the bigger storms just to the east and as we get a live look outside in palo alto this morning, it is going to stay cloudy and cool. only reaching the low 60s for this afternoon and we say see some rain. we'll talk about the warmer weather for the weeke-- coming up. >> and literally coming up, they are raising the cargo that was on the back of overturned rig, hopefully to get it out to the flatbed tow truck. you see the carquinez bridge in the distance and that is why folks cannot access that from the east bay. we'll give you the latest status and work-around coming up.

well this weekend, if you are in downtown san francisco, avoid first street. teams are doing a glass replacement project for the transbay transit center between mission and folsom should reopen on monday. are you headed out today? 5 million californians are going with you. 40 million nationwide. these are the biggest travel numbers we've seen in nearly a decade. gas prices also higher. here in california, prices are 70 cents more than last year. and gas buddy pet rick sheehan said gas prices won't stop people from driving. >> memorial day is the kickoff to summer and july 4th, a big celebration and labor day the last hoorah of summer and so high grass prices are probably not going to hold a lot of people back from those celebrations. but it may hold people back from taking, say, one trip to the beach, or going to that further away destination. >> here is your current bay area

gas prices. gallon of regular, san francisco, $3.85 and $3.74 in san jose and those are the highest in the country. when you pick your ride to work with ten years from now, are you imagining a breakfast or hot cup of coffee and reading materials, but if not, you may want to. they gathered at stan toward to talk about the issues the industry is facing and among key concerns, technology, timing and safety. in some instances driverless capabilities may come sooner than a decade. >> high complex road speed and 25 mile-per-hour downtown and we'll see that quickly. >> experts also say there are a lot of potential road blocks slowing the process down. especially when testing is done on actual city streets and a malfunction can lead to new concerns about accidents. well new this morning, a portland family said their amazon echo device recorded
