dress and i'm in a wool coat and we won't agree. we'll do it your way. that is how we'll agree. >> 6:00 right now. breaking news we've been following overnight. take a look at this. quite a mess on the roadway. one of the busiest travel days of the year. a big rig accident shutting down several lanes of 80 to another crash. we have team coverage. and harvey weinstein turned himself into police and we have the video and the widespread impact of this case. i've lived in the bay area my whole life and so, yeah, you schedule your time and try to leave early. >> headed to the beach for the holiday? the traffic restriction not coming back this summer. and new help that may leave neighbors frustrated. "today in the bay" continues now. a very good friday morning to you. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia.

>> and i'm scott mcgrew in for marcus washington. and to the traffic. mike, you have several problems on the roadways. >> taking a look with our camera over it, this is the ground and this is eastbound 80 off the east shore freeway. let me show you the map, where the dirt is because of the activity going on there. right here, this is eastbound 80. what is going on, ethan was showing us as they loaded this box on the back of a box truck or the back of a big rig trailer, that got loaded on to a flatbed and cleared from lanes but still one lane open toward the carquinez bridge. that is a major crash with a major back-up forming out of rodeo and a secondary crash on the back-up and bob will tell about that but i did seconds ago learn the other crash at north 880 and hegenberger, the off-ramp will be closed for that crash until possibly 4:00 p.m. we see slowing already. i'll give you more information about this one in oakland coming

up. but over to bob redell over off the east shore. and we have this crash and a couple of crashes. what is going on? >> reporter: well, mike, we're at eastbound 80 at the carquinez bridge at the pomona street off-ramp and even though this is reverse commute and this isore going to tahoe for memorial day or the bottle rock concert in napa. the chp won't have all of the lanes reopened until around 10:00 a.m. right now only the far left lane is open because there is so much debris. you see the mangled shipping container, that was on the wreck of the big rig and in that container was canned pineapple. and the driver -- it was a sole accident and wrecked this morning around 1:30 and did not apply the brakes and rolled over. there was a driver behind him, a good samaritan according to chp, who stopped and got out of his

car and realized the big rig was catching fire and he pulled the big river driver out unconscious and began cpr. that big rig driver was life flighted hot hospital and major injuries but expected to survive. chp pointing out that they believe that good sam did save his life. because otherwise he could have burned up in the big rig itself. now talking about the second accident. this occurred in the back-up after this major accident here with the big rig. this involved a sedan, a driver of a sedan, it was an older man, hit the back of a another big rig and the driver was stuck in the car, i talked to a chp officer and he said he and two fellow officers crawled in through the back of the car and while he was stuck in the driver's seat performed cpr and took turns to perform cpr. they did get him out but unfortunately we just got news that he did not survive that crash. so the fatal accident that occurred in the back-up and then the major big rig accident that

right now is causing a headache for people trying to head eastbound on 80 across the carquinez bridge. again, the estimated time of reopening all of this roadway here, not until 10:00 this morning. reporting live here in crockett, bob redell, nbc bay area news. >> what a valiant effort to try to save him. thank you. a bay area family hurting this morning. >> let's check in with kari and see how the weather looks ahead. >> and then once you get past that back-up, if you are going through vacaville and fairfield, you will encounter some rain. that is what we're seeing right now as we see the storms moving through for parts of the central valley. here is a closer look at what is happening in napa county. over towards fairfield. and so i-80 as you get through vacaville, you'll start to see some of the rain moving through. we'll see more waves of this through today and possibly storms heading over toward the sierra. so expect it to be a long travel day. if you are just trying to get there for the memorial day weekend, i'll talk about much warmer temperatures on the way. coming up in just a few minutes. >> thank you very much.

it is 6:04. new, a dramatic moment in the ongoing harvey weinstein saga. the film producer turned himself in at the new york city police department. it happened early this morning, at about 4:30 our time, this is video of him walking in. prosecutors in new york are charging weinstein with rape, criminal sex acts, sexual abuse, and sexual misconduct related to two women. in the past he denied all claims of nonconsensual sex and after reports of nearly a hundred women. the weinstein story res -- resonating. the recent cover of the person of the year issue for "time" is credited for expanding the me-too movement and said it will send a powerful message to victims. >> it means there is an end point for some of them and that

is important. >> she works for visa gaining notoriety when she came forward about being groped at a work party and she wrote an open letter to the l.a. times. a milpitas high school music teacher facing sexual battery. and his accuser is a fellow teacher. she's 22 and she said he made inappropriate contact with her last year. the investigation started after a former student came forward with similar allegations. it is 6:06. the dream of extending b.a.r.t. to livermore now on hold indefinitely after a big set back. last night the board voted down the proposed extension which you see here. it would stretch b.a.r.t. five miles from dublin pleasanton to isabel and the board voted down the proposal 5-4. b.a.r.t. directors say a extension would take eight years to complete and surpass

$1 billion. instead they hope to focus on modernizing the current position after passionate pleas for those who live in livermore. >> i take b.a.r.t. because people are for getting our roads are at a stand still most of the day including saturday and sundays now. b.a.r.t. is a significant betterment to so many people's lives. >> the project is appears to be all but dead there is one possibility. board members will pass it to the tri-valley rail authority and they could pick it up in extending b.a.r.t. to san jose. and now this isn't the only b.a.r.t. story today. big new connections to east bay start this is weekend. pete suratos is there live and talking to passengers. we'll check in with him at 6:30. it is 6:07. happening now, let the holiday rush begin. if you are heading to winnetka,

sjc is expecting traffic. you are encouraged to get to the airport at least two hours earl i your four flight. and if you are heading over the hill to santa cruz, you don't need us to tell you it will be miserable gridlock. not only on highway 17, but also on surface streets through los gatos. "today in the bay" kris sanchez live there with what the town is trying to do to keep the peace between beach-goers and neighbors and businesses and, kris, you are saying they are not going to shut down the on-ramps. >> reporter: they are not going to shut down the off and on-ramps to keep people off the main drag here in los gatos and the residential streets and that is because it was a $300,000 experiment that just did not work. it did not keep the beach-goers on highway 17 and off the residential streets but just shifted the spillover traffic to different neighborhoods. here is how locals feel about

it. >> i don't know if it didfully go -- did any good because the traffic is still the same of you have to get there early. >> i've lived in the bay area my whole life and so, yeah, you schedule your time and try to leave early and it does get packed but i don't blame people for wanting to get out and about and enjoying the sunshine. >> on friday night in the summertime, they have the free concerts. i would never drive it. no matter what time. because traffic anywhere in the bay area is bad. >> reporter: so here is what the los gatos mayor and the town public works person is telling me. they'll spend about $50,000 and that is to mitigate local traffic problems and also going to work with the mapping app waze to keep people off the small residential streets. they are asking everybody to avoid the peak hours between 11:00 and 3:00 in the afternoon and reminie -- reminding people even when it is slow, the highway is the most sufficient route and they are asking about

a long-term study to see if they could maximize the traffic. and they did set up a -- a e-mail address and a phone number for people to report beach traffic, troubles and that is in order to make sure that people are not clogging up the 911 system with complaints about traffic. and by the way, it is not an option to have police directing traffic all summer here in los gatos. the public works director said there isn't enough overtime in the budget and nowhere to send those cars. in los gatos, kris sanchez, nbc bay area news. it is 6:10. time to check in with meteorologist kari hall and look at that forecast for us. >> it is starting out with cloudy skies. cool temperatures and even some rain as you get just into the east of the bay area. some lightning and thunderstorms over sacramento valley. as we go through the day, we'll see the chance of rain, mostly light showers. the highest chance over the north bay and also the coast. but we may also see some times of light rain this afternoon in the inland areas as well.

all of this tapering off as we go into tonight and early tomorrow morning. as we through the day, looking live in san jose. cloudy skies. evergreen will keep the temperatures in the low 60s, overall a chilly day. we'll talk more about the warm-up in the forecast and mike is keeping track of the closures on the roads. [ inaudible ]. >> is my microphone on? okay. i want to let you know. northbound 880 jams up toward the coliseum. an the hegenberger off-ramp was closed and so it the slow lane and the truck fire resulted in possibly some damage to the roadway. so that off-ramp will be closed until 4:00 p.m. or possibly -- at least into the afternoon hours and that is where we see the slowing north 880 acrotching the kroll. now overlooking the slow drive and everything else is clear. eastbound 80 jammed up approaching the carquinez bridge and resulting in activity there,

except one lane open approaching the carquinez bridge and a live look shows you that traffic is jammed up. and you see the bridge in the distance and they continue to try to remove the storage container. bob redell is following the scene. only one lane open toward the bridge. use the benecia bridge. back to you. coming up next on "today in the bay," terrifying moments in a crowded restaurants and the search for answers after a mysterious explosion in canada. and the new beginning for a community in the north bay after last year's devastating wildfires. and later, a unique way to get hitched in the bay area. but you want to ask fast. you're watching "today in the bay." i'm dianne feinstein and i approve this message.

i support the affordable care act, and voted against all trump's attempts to repeal it. but we need to do more. i believe in universal health care. in a public health option to compete with private insurance companies. and expanding medicare to everyone over 55. and i believe medicare must be empowered to negotiate the price of drugs. california values senator dianne feinstein

right now at 6:15, in fremont, we could see the flag waving and a breeze. cloudy skies and as you get ready to head out, this is going to be in the upper 50s. but only researching into the low 60s today. and there could be some showers passing by. as we go into the weekend, a major warm up on the way. i'll have more on that and also some places you may be headed around the bay area. the forecast for that in about five minutes. >> a live shot of the reason why you only have one lane of eastbound 80 open approaching

the carquinez bridge. and they are rushing to clear the lanes but it won't be until about 10:00 a.m. and now problems for the b.a.r.t. lines, a major delay. and i'll give you those details coming up. it is 6:16 right now. developing right now, a late night explosion at a crowded indian restaurant in the toronto area. crews say two people walked into the restaurant after closing time and they set off some kind of a home made explosive device. 15 people were hurt, three critically. a manhunt is now underway to find two men. and this is how serious it is for some people living in the danger zone near kilauea. helicopters are on stand-by. that is because lava could soon wipe out the only road to safety for about a thousand people. the national guard feerz they could become trapped. a big step forward as the north bay recovers from last year's wildfires. today coffey park gets the first

new home since flames destroyed that neighborhood. our sam brock reports, the first house gets its certificate of occupancy this afternoon. you could look for that story later tonight. >> time for a check of business headlines at 6:17. concern for t-mobile customers whose personal information may be compromised and new rules for the internet in europe. meg terrell has that from cnbc. good morning. >> good morning. wall street indicated to open slightly lower after stocks finished in the red yesterday. the market fell after trump announced he is canceling the meeting with kim jong-un. but stocks came off the low of the session. investors will get economic reports on durable goods and consumer sentiment. the dow closing down 75 points to 24811 and the nasdaq slipping one point to 7424. a bug on t-mobile website let anyone access the personal details such as home address and account pin of any customer with just a phone number.

t-mobile since ficked the flaw but it would be exploited by anyone who knew where to look. t mobile said it pulled the page offline a day after it was reported by security researchers in april and no evidence any customer information was accessed. and the internet is about to undergo a overhaul. new data privacy rules go into effect and the gdpr or general data protection regulation is forcing thousands of companies big and small to change how they handle personal information, even if they have no physical operation in europe. companies are now required to tell customers exactly how their data is being used and consumers will get new rights, including being able to delete data when they leave an app or site and that means companies like facebook and google will change privacy policies for all consumers. not just those who live in europe. and you may have received the mails to that effect this week. back over to you. >> several. thank you. it is a big weekend at the movies. a lot of people flocking for the new "star wars" movie.

for years "star wars" has rocked the box office. disney hopes to make it four years in a role with the latest release. a stars wars story and it is an origin story for solo and it is rated pg-13. and look for a sci-fi, see how to talk to girls at parties. el fanning is a teenage alien who feels with a group in the late 70s. >> did we approve that- >> that israted ". >> if we stall long enough, we could -- >> i don't feel like making apologies. >> just go outside. >> it is going to be nice this weekend. we just have to shake the clouds and this kind of gloomy weather that we are seeing. spotty rain across the bay area as you wake up and head out of

the door. as we get a look at storm range. that is our mobile doppler. we have it in san jose to give us the best view of what is happening around the bay area. and most of the rain is in the north bay and as you get out of town. and the showers through napa and toward solano county up through i-80 and it is closer to sacramento and stockton. some of the showers and storms developing this morning around an area of low pressure that will keep d-- keep it cloudy an with light rain today. not a lot out of this but just keeps us from seeing the sunshine and every now and then there could be some light showers coming out of the clouds and tonight things are clearer but one last wave of rain that will move through during the overnight hours and not all of us will see it. but that could also be wrapping up as the system moves off toward the east.

rain totals will be very light. a few hundredths of an inch and some of us not measuring anything. and then in concord, a lot of cloudy skies and low 60s to start and also throughout the day. if you are traveling, head's up that we already are seeing delays out of san francisco. close to an hour flight delay. so call ahead if you are getting ready to head out of the door. as you make weekend plans, maybe you are going to the mushroom marti gras and in morgan hill, nice tomorrow. cooler with highs in -- in the upper 60s and low 70s and then into the rest of the week, of course it is going to be getting hot. and mike now you have new problems for b.a.r.t. >> i swear, kari, it is light traffic around the boy but major problems and this is a major delay now for b.a.r.t. the fremont line delayed. there is somebody who jumped into the track area and b.a.r.t. police are chasing them down. i don't know why. we're checking on that. major delays for fremont and the fare out of san leandro are closed because of the active the

and they don't want trains getting in there and hurting folks, the b.a.r.t. police or the suspect. a live shot because this is one of the major issues. eastbound 80 to the carquinez bridge and in the distance you could have trouble to the north bey with eastbound 80 and the map will show you the back-up out of rodeo and folks head up to the north bay. and later on we'll see folks heading up toward bottle rock but bob redell told us they should have lanes open by 10:00 and we hope that is the case. the rest of the bay looking light. back to you. >> so fremont line expect delays and in san leandro station closed down. we'll follow up on that. and coming up, nbc bay area responds. >> we're celebrating two years of fighting for viewers and saving them money. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. our milestones and recent winds for nbc bay area responds. that is next. years has flown byc

the carquinez bridge and we have problems into the north bay. coming up. and a new option for east bay, commuters with a unique service b.a.r.t. is about to unveil. breaking traffic news..

not one but (two wrecks near te carquinez bridge right now at 6:30, not one but two wrecks near the carquinez bridge. we're live with the impact this is having on people hitting the road this is morning. >> very early morning accident

there. but the ramifications continue. we've been on since 4:30 this morning covering that. good morning, i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm scott mcgrew in for marcus washington. let's get to mike who had a very busy morning. >> very busy. and we have continued problems. our sky ranger is over the scene. this is part of the cab that was pulling the trailer with our canned pineapple and this is the reason. a continued closure for eastbound 80. you see the clean-up work as sky ranger is overhead. only one lane gets over to the carquinez bridge. but you do notice the off-ramp at pomona street is closed. the on-ramp, i've seen from the chopper shot, it is below from the camera but showing the big back-up to the carquinez bridge. and the map will show you the same thing toward the area. as we look at this back-up, the option is the benecia bridge toward the north bay. one quick note on b.a.r.t., san leandro and the the bay stations have reopened and police activity and i'll talk more about that and the slowdown in

oakland but for now back to bob who is out there just off the carquinez bridge. you talk about the two crashes and there are major injuries? >> good morning. eastbound 80 at the carquinez bridge. if you look right there, dangling on the back of the crane is the cab of the big rig that rolled over an 1:20 this morning and they've already removed the shipping container, it was full of canned pineapple. and now it looks like they are ready to off load that on to a wrecker and get that ou-- get t of here. in spite of the wreckage being taken away, chp doesn't expect all of the lanes at the carquinez bridge and the pomona street off-ramp to be reopened until 10:00 a.m. because of the debrisond the on the roadway and a chemical spill and the fluids in that big rig trailer. now the big rig crash into the gore point around 1:20 and no

signs the driver tried to break. this is according to chp. and the driver of the big rig, it was a good samaritan who saved his life. the driver was stuck in the cab unconscious and the cab was catching fire. the other man behind him saw the d g out and pulled him from the cab, and began cpr and saved him from burning to death according to chp. that driver of the big rig was life flighted to the hospital and major injuries but right now it is expected to survive. sadly there was another accident in the back-up that happened where a driver of a sedan rear-ended a big rig -- another big rig truck and that driver sadly has passed away. i spoke to a chp officer who responded to the accident. he tells me the driver was stuck in the driver's seat that he and two of his colleagues or three officers now had to climb in through the backseat and took turns performing cpr on him until they were able to extricate him but taken to the hospital and sadly passed away.

again, looking live out here where you could see the big rig cab. the burned shell is on the back of the wrecker. and they are trying to get it to on to a flatbed to haul it away. and the last update from chp was 30 minutes ago and said they won't have all lanes of eastbound 80 at the carquinez bridge open until 10:00 a.m. right now you just have the one lane open. and the other lanes are shut down. and -- as you sea from sky ranger, this is a big back-up because this is the get out of town route for the bottle rock concert in napa an this is the way up there. live in crockett, bob redell, nbc bay area news. and as you head into the memorial day weekend, the temperatures will warm up. >> yeah. and it is really tough. thinking that you go through that back-up and going up i-80 and then once you get through parts of the bay area, once you get out of the bay area, then you see the rain that starts to

come down as we get a closer look. a lot of thunderstorms lifting north and clearing out of napa valley into the next couple of hours. a lot of thunderstorms an we're tracking this in the morning. another update in a few minutes. sounds good. 6:35. contra costa county commuters about to get a new option for the transit. today shiny and new, b.a.r.t. unveiling e-bart station in answer. and steve suratos is with a live look. where are you going? >> reporter: good morning. i'm very comfortable here in this new e-bart rail system and we're getting a free preview. and folks will ride on this rail system and we'll show what you the train looks like. and the lek ri-- the electric sn

back-up out of rodeo and building away from the bay bridge and toward the north bay. bob just told me they were expecting to have a second lane open possibly by 7:30 because of the progress but a lot of debris still having lanes in a back-up until about 10:00 a.m. and the other back-up at the bottom of the screen, north 880 approaching hegenberger and a fire there. the off-ramp will stay closed until 4:00 p.m. and we see the slowing on live shot but it is slow out of san leandro up to the coliseum. -- and everything else has light rain now. >> that is good. everybody wants to get out of town. for four days. >> it is going to be wet if you are heading toward the sierra and central valley seeing rain on the radar. the bay area quiet with mostly cloudy skies. we'll have a chance of showers today. and in san francisco, look at the high. only 58 degrees. a little bit warmer tomorrow with more sunshine.

and we have carnival happening this weekend and the parade on sunday, it is 65 degrees and sunny. low 70s for memorial day. as we look at the holiday weekend forecast for san jose, it will also be heating up, from 63 degrees today, to 86 degrees on monday and we'll have some sunshine after today. and then for concord, the bay area kid fest happening with a chance of rain but tomorrow in time for the festival it is 74 and sunny. low 80s on sunday and monday. 92 degrees. and bottle rock and napa valley looking nice with sunshine for tomorrow and sunday. up to 79 degrees. i'll have a look at today's temperature trend coming up in about three minutes. >> sounds good. 6:41 right now. coming up next on "today in the bay," breaking news just into the newsroom. reports of a shooting at a middle school. we'll bring you the very latest after the break. in the meantime, a live look at the dow. today is the first day that a woman runs the nyfd in history.
