laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington. let's get straight to the traffic, vianey has been tracking that. two signature alerts. >> in the tri-valley. if that's your morning commute, you need to listen up, we're dealing with heavy delays. i want to get to the first crash right now and this is along 580 at eden and this is right along over -- eden canyon road. there was an overturned semi that had all lanes blocked and now it appears all lanes are open except for the left lane. they were working to clear out that debris but even though we are still seeing heavy delays backed up and unfortunately your alternate route which is typically southbound 680, that's where we're seeing the second sigalert. this is along sheridan road. lanes do remain blocked. this is a multivehicle accident involving four vehicles. one spun out and another one is fully engulfed in flames. we do have some shots from the scene. first i do want to take you to 580 where you can see the heavy

delays still from the ground. this is the earlier crash involving that semi. they did clear that out but you can see how heavy the delays are. chp was going back and forth for a while and said all lanes were open except for one. then they kind of went back and said now only two lanes were open. judging about this picture, it looks like they are not really moving at this hour. so we're going to check out and see what's going on there. they seem to be opening some lanes then close them out. i did see they were working to clear some debris. i want to take you to 680, a shot from the chopper, that is a rough scene. you can see the car fire pullfu engulf. we're not sure if there are any injuries and we're making a phone call to find out if everybody is okay. we have several lanes closed and appears to be one lane. couple of lanes merging back up through here. look at the heavy delays. at this point your only option from the tri-valley.

580 out of the question. maybe take 680 down to 84 and avoid heading in this direction general near sheridan. look at that heavy backup. wow, if you're not looking at the screen, i don't mean to scare you but you may want to pay attention, we're only seeing one lane open. we have several cars merging in that direction. this is a live picture using our sky ranger. i'll keep you updated on that but right now expect heavy delays along 580 and 680. westbound 580 and 680. back to you. >> looks so rough trying to get out of the tri-valley. it's going to be at least a nice weather day. we're starting out with clear skies and as you head out the door, we're feeling temperatures in the mid to upper 50s, the a's game will be happening this evening and it's going to be really nice for that, low 60s and sunshine. all of the bay area will enjoy some cooler temperatures compared to the way we started this week, 82 in antioch and 63 in san francisco. san jose will be in the upper

70s. more on the forecast coming up in a few minutes. 6:02. new this morning. a knife fight breaks out on a moving b.a.r.t. train as passengers are inside. this happened at one of the busiest b.a.r.t. lines from san francisco to antioch. >> "today in the bay" aegs pete suratos joins us where it all came to an end. what happened out there, pete? >> reporter: good morning to you, marcus and laura. as you minentioned a knife figh heading towards antioch but they made the arrest here at the concord stop. not something you see every day, especially talking about maybe the last train of the day leaving san francisco. in fact we'll show you video from when the arrest was made. police are saying it took place on an antioch bound train. one man is in custody and another man suffered a cut to the hand in the knife fight. and that train did stop for ten minutes while police tried to track down the suspect or did track down the suspect and of

course they also had to tepd to that victim. back in may the police chief told sf chronicle there was a downward trend in crime but increase in aggravated assaults. now still unclear exactly what motivated the five fight but may have started in either orinda or lafayette. pete suratos for "today in the bay." >> thanks for that update there. >> it is 6:04. we're working to find out more about a busy crime scene in the south bay. this is video just into the newsroom. a car crashed at almaden and floyd. look how several people handcuffeded and put into police cars. neighbors describe a chaotic ending. >> i heard a big crash. and so we go over to the window and i don't know, first we go outside. >> we go outside. >> they are going, get back inside. get back inside. >> so we went back inside. >> we went back to the window, which is stupid because there was a gun so --

>> one of the menu can see here handcuffed to a stretcher was taken to the hospital, not badly hurt. neighbors did tell us they see crashes in that area all the time. >> developing this morning, a child is dead and a suspect is in custody after shooting at a dentist office in colorado. that shooting happened yesterday afternoon at a busy office park. two adults and two kids were hospitalized. one of those kids later died. the suspect left the scene but police later found a car matching the description of the one at the shooting. police surrounded the car and then took that driver into custody. police are calling the driver a person of interest. no word on whether there are any other suspects. >> frightening. it's 6:05. fallout this morning after the justice department's watchlog group slams former director james comey's actions ahead of the 2016 presidential election. the inspector general's report says comey used bad judgment in how he handled the hillary clinton e-mail investigation. the report also suggests comey

was insub order nature for going public without telling his bosses first. at the same time, it is not believed comey and agents meant to influence the election. >> this report did not find any evidence of political bias or improper considerations actually impacting the investigation under review. >> the report also accuses comey of a serious error in judgment for reopening that investigation days before the election. the fbi is already talking about using this report to train employees on what not to do. hillary clinton did not talk about the fbi report last night in san francisco. she was here honored for her work pushing gun control legislation. former congresswoman gabby giffords, after an assassination attempt present the award. clinton says her position made her a target of the gun lobby during the 2016 presidential campaign. the gun lobby spent $30 million against me.

now, they never had the guts to take on any specific policy proposal. in fact the ads they ran had nothing to do with guns. they were just out right lies. >> on a separate note, bill clinton will be in san jose at the sap center in a couple of weeks. he and author james patterson promoting their new book. you may remember the contentious video on the "today" show earlier this month. if you can't wait for san francisco's pride parade next weekend, spend time on the peninsula this weekend. the san mateo county pride celebration is tomorrow. it is at san mateo central park and it is free and that fun starts at 11:00 a.m. >> you may know sterling k. brown, the award winning actor from nbc's "this is us." he's going to be here in the bay area on sunday for this year's graduates of stanford. brown is delivering the key note address and graduated from stanford 20 years ago with a bachelor's degree in drama. >> right now taking a live look in pleasanton, is funnel cake

your thing? i know i love it. how about deep fried twinkies don't know about that. how about pig races or fair ride to make your head start spinning? if that is something you like, the alameda county fair starts tomorrow. the bay area's large eflt fair kicks off with the annual cattle drive to the fairgrounds and you're looking at video of that event we shot last year. the fair runs through july 8th and kari, certainly a great weekend to get out there and enjoy a fair. >> yeah, lots of sunshine and cooler temperatures. you want the cowboy hat to give you some shade and protect you from the sun. that will be beaming down all weekend long. here's a live look outside in san jose as you get ready to head out on this friday morning. we'll have low 60s to start and not as hot as it's been as we trends in the upper 70s by 2:00 today and looking at concord where it's been scorching hot all weekend long but look at our trend for today. low 60s at 8:00.

lunchtime temperature at 73 degrees and 76 at 2:00 today. and for that cattle drive through downtown pleasanton we just talked about this, 67 degrees and lower 70s for the rest of the morning. we'll talk about some more events and also our day planner for palo alto but vianey takes us back to the tri-valley. >> it's still very much a mess. the rest of the bay area not doing too bad. we saw this crash in the south bay. i'll get to that in my next report. about t but i want to take you to the sigalert due to an overturned semi. one lane is open at this point but the traffic is it still crawling, heavy backup and expect heavy delays and alternate route which is typically 680 seeing another sigalert along southbound 680 at sheridan road. several lanes remain blocked. four out of five at this hour. there was a car completely ungulfed in flames involving multiple vehicles, four vehicles. we have scenes, this from 580.

you can see how slow the traffic is moving i can't really tell by this cara if there's a lane open -- i'm not sure how far back the shot is. chp is reporting there is a lane open but it seems like they keep going back and forth. it might be because they are trying to clear debri and make sure the roads are safe. i want to take you to a chopper shot at southbound 680. you can see that car. look at this picture. the car right there was completely engulfed in flames and this was a crash involving four vehicles. managed to clear out a lot of that debris but now they got what looks tore two lanes earlier it was june one. i did look at your drive times and tweet that out. you're looking at delays upwards of 75 minutes. your best bet is going to be to just take 84 and try to avoid 580 if you're going to drive down 680. take 84 and don't bother going down to sheridan because you'll get caught in this mess. >> that's tough. watch 84 get backed up now.

>> coming up next, one of the most common weight loss surgeries in the country doesn't seem to be working. >> all of a sudden one days things aren't working the samg and you can't figure out why. >> the reason the lap band procedure isn't for everyone and the other options you have if you're trying to lose weight. >> elon musk is giving more detail about a chicago plan. we'll look at this math. later, the stern grove music festival kicks off this weekend in san francisco. the big lineup for this year's event, maybe even a tune from me. let me warm up. the time is 6:11, wyou're watching "today in the bay."

it's 6:14. here's a live look outside in palo alto. nice start to this friday and we'll see a lot of sunshine throughout the day. mid-60s at 10:00 will be the temperature with highs reaching only 76 degrees. much cooler than the way we started this week. we'll have a great weekend ahead. a look at the complete microclimate forecast in less than five minutes. an update for the sigalert, two lanes are now open following a crash involving an overturned semi. expect heavy delays and southbound 680 at sheridan road. several lanes remain blocked. i'll have an update coming up. hi, happy friday to you.

the stock markets are looking for lower open after the white house this morning announced huge new tariffs against china. we do expect china will respond probably putting tariffs on our agriculture. watch ag stocks today, american farmers are going to be china's target. the white house announced these new tariffs about an hour ago. 25% tariffs on thousands of products. remember, president trump promised this on his campaign trail. and again, watch agriculture stocks it's. elon musk will be on the "today" show today talking about his proposed privately funded super tunnel, to whisk people 12 minutes door to door. we showed you this yesterday, what the terminal is supposed to look like. some prominent chicago journalists do point out there's already an electric train between downtown and o'hare. it's slower but it can carry far more people. tens of thousands of people per day. chicago has no financial risk in this. musk says he'll raise the money himself but when we're talking

about cost and efficiency, there are parallels to the high speed rail project in california. taxpayers in that case will spend $77 billion to get from san francisco to los angeles some day in about two and a half hours travel time. you can do it now by playing in 50 minutes travel time. speaking of california, splitting california into three different states, this is on the november ballot. if you'd like to know more about it, i did an interview with the guy behind the ballot measure, tim draper who says he knows even if californians say yes, congress may say no at first. >> this isn't going to happen immediately, everyone. this is going to happen over time. but the first step is to get this initiative passed as three californias. >> to be specific this is three california states, not california exiting the united states which is just as wild of an idea. >> which we've heard talk of. >> these are different idea and this is literally something you can vote on and it sounds crazy

but remember, my parents and i don't know about yours, were old enough to remember when the united states had 48 states. i mean, now we have states that aren't even connected to the united states. that must have been very strange at the time. now we don't think anything of it. now we have what, 52. >> yeah. 53 -- >> the original california and pick up two -- >> that's right. >> then we got to elect governors and recalled and -- >> alarming health news this morning, if you or someone you know received a popular weight loss surgery. you probably heard of lap bands. it's when people reduce the size of their stomach. brand-new research shows a procedure fails nearly 75% of the time. here's a doctor's take. >> all of a sudden one day, things aren't working the same and you can't figure out why or the band happens to slip or erode and now we've got an emergency on our hands. >> doctors say changing your lifestyle is the most impactful solution to weight loss.

for some people who live in san francisco, it really doesn't get any better than this. the free summer concert series at stern grove. those concerts take place on sundays and really away to have a lot of fun. it gets under way this weekend and it's father's day weekend. here's an idea for you for your father. you can take your dad to see jeffrey osbourne and peebo brison you'll hear the hit "on the wings of love." the stern grove festival runs through august 19th. >> great series of events there. wish we could see it's great for the morning commute but not on this friday. >> not in the tri-valley. tri-valley has been a mess but i have a couple of updates that are a little bit better than what we were a couple of minutes ago. this is overall in the bay area. if you don't live in the tri-valley, i want to show you how the rest of the bay area is looking. so far so good, no accidents on the peninsula. the north bay is doing fairly

good. east bay not too bad. south bay picked up a couple of fender benders but let's get right to the sigalert crashes, we have heavy delays along westbound 580. due to an earlier overturned semi. two lanes are now open at this time. earlier they were all closed but still expect to see heavy delays now backup teams to be getting worse and worse. 6le 680, go ahead and take l84. look at this one, this one just popped up, just as you transition into 84. i'll check on that crash but this is the one that caused those heavier delays early on southbound 680 at sheridan road. multivehicle car crash involving four vehicles, one completely on fire. this is a live picture along 580. traffic completely crawling, this is a look from san ramon, you can see how heavy the delays traffic along versus earlier it was at the complete stand still. this is a chopper shot using sky

ranger of southbound 680. a car fully engulfed in flames involving a multivehicle crash. we did make calls and there were of the accidents. even though they are causing heavy delays at least everybody was okay. tri-valley along southbound 680. upwards now of 87 minutes. it's only getting heavier. it's getting worse. you may want to make a phone call to your boss and let them know you might be running a little bit late. i'll send it over to you. >> a little bit late. oh, my goodness. all right, we're going to have a rough morning. at least the weather is looking all good as we get a look at our start from sunol. it's 54 degrees. nice and cool and beautiful sunrise. the 7-day forecast is coming up at the bottom of the screen. maybe you're heading to the san mateo county fair happening today and it's going to be in the mid-60s there throughout the afternoon and then if you'll be out there later tonight for the

concert, bring a light jacket. up to 63 in san francisco. 82 in antioch and san jose, 78 degrees and upper 70s in the north bay. where we'll be kicking off the country summer music festival, in the low 80s. make sure you bring sunscreen and stay hydrated all day long. and later on tonight as florida georgia line takes the stage, it's going to be nice and cool. and martinez this weekend we'll have the barbecue music festival tomorrow. mid-70s during the middle of the day. so much better than the 90s to start out this week. you'll enjoy that sunshine and cooler temperatures even through the evening. then you can wrap up the weekend at the alameda county fair on sunday. this of course starts it's but goes on throughout the end of the month, even early july. we'll have upper 70s for sunday and mostly sunny skies. here's an update on what was tropical storm bud, continues to spread some rain across parts of the desert southwest. head's up if you'll be traveling

in that direction. i'll have a look at the 7-day coming up later. thank you. >> coming up here on "today in the bay," not exactly a hole in one, the major struggle for some of the world's top golfers during the first round of the u.s. open. >> i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. buy one, get one free sometimes means buy two, get a rebate for one. what can you do if that rebate never comes in? nbc bay area responds next. san

get the phone rebate he was promised. nbc bay area responds to a san bruno man who did not get the phone rebate he was promised. >> good morning. cell phone salesman dangle rebates in front of us to entice new customers but sometimes the money gets tired up in paperwork and that's what jose hernandez says happened when he filed for a $750 rebate during a t-mobile promotion that offered by one get one free phones. t-mobile told jose to wait a couple of weeks and called us after getting nowhere for nine months. we reached out to t-mobile. it responded immediately to jose, not only did he get his $750 rebate, jose says t-mobile paid off his new phone. and when you sign up for a rebate, you've got to keep

copies of everything. the receipts and proof of your purchase and the rebate form itself. if the rebate doesn't come in a reasonable time, you should complain to the california department of consumer affairs. you can also give us a call, 888-996-tips or nbcbayarea.com/responds. >> okay, so some of the best golfers in the world are taking their shots on long island in new york. and it's already turning into a long weekend for some of them. >> they are playing like some of us play. they are there for the u.s. open, however, but conditions are making many golfers struggle. number one player dustin johnson hit a tee shot in the high grass and took an entire search party to find the ball. only three golfers broke par during yesterday's first round. >> 6:26, coming up here on bay, we're tracking two major issues in the east bay this morning. >> plus easing the pain at the

dmv, what workers are starting this weekend that can help shorten lines the next time you head in. terrifying moemgts outside a east bay funeral home after a gunman opens fir while a wake was being held inside. you're watching "today in the bay." two breaking traffic storis

ambulance was called to that scene. maybe they are checking out the swak and they are going to run a sweep and they are expecting to run a sweep for those lanes to the next hour to 45 minutes. they are not looking to clear this out any time soon. we have live pictures along 580, this is at san ramon valley but we're seeing some of that traffic starting to move along. it appears they have two lanes open at this time. it's still very much at a crawl along 580. we've also got chopper shots, 680, wow, look at the sky ranger shot. to 84. past that point we see that fender bender right between 84 and 680 between the two. we're seeing heavy delays. look at this shot. these people are backed up bumper to bumper but they have opened what appears to be now -- they reduced it down to a single lane once again but i see more vehicles kind of trying to merge in the single lane. there was a car again, remember

completely on fire. going back to maps i do want to show you how terrible your drive times are. unfortunately from westbound 580 grant line road, 37 minutes but southbound 680 from 580, 80 minutes in that alternate route 84 to 680, 46 minutes. so heavy delays out of the tri-valley area. definitely head out now. call your boss. call whoever you need to pick up, the baby sitter, all of that, they are not looking to clear this at for the next 30 to 45 minutes. now things over to kari with a look at the weather. >> oh, my goodness, we're going to have much cooler weather as we get a look at the next three days heading into the weekend. upper 70s for the inland areas out of the 90s but there will be 90s back in the forecast for the middle of next week. you do want to enjoy the weekend. san francisco low 60s today, few clouds and some breezy winds father's day looking really nice. we'll talk about some events

her life and it was very unfortunate that it had to end like that. >> police are still not sure how many shooters were involved here. none of the people attending that wake were injured. tired of waiting in long dmv lines, good news, help is on the way. some offices around the state are opening up on saturdays. roz plater is live with details on when and where. good morning. >> good morning. if you've been to the dmv, you know exactly what we're talking about. in fact, look behind me here. folks began lining up here at 6:00 this morning and the dmv doesn't even open here until 8:00 in the morning. yes, it is not your imagination, the lines are getting longer so it's really good news that those saturday hours start tomorrow. now it is sometimes possible as you know to stand in those lines for hours, especially if you did make an appointment ahead of time and lines began letting longer in january when people

started coming in to get the new real i.d.s. to take the pressure off, they are opening some offices around the state on the first and third saturdays of the month from 8:00 in the morning to 1:00 in the afternoon. here are the bay area locations that will be open. that's concord, hayward, novato, the clair mont avenue location in oakland, pleasanton, redwood city, san francisco, the san jose driver's license processing center and santa clara and also in santa rosa -- and this month only the dmv openings will be this saturday tomorrow the 16th and also the 23rd. then it starts in july they will go to the regular schedule which will be the first and third saturdays. also, the behind the wheel driving exams will not be offered on saturday. something to keep in mind. there are ten locations in the bay area where this happens. i have tweeted out a list of those. go to my twitter at @ roz news

30,000 pound semi that they are working to clear out of that area and there was debris near the road. you can see the -- and typically that would be the alternate route but now the sigalert crash has been there for quite some time. southbound 680 at sheridan road in east fremont. several lanes remain blocked and there was a four vehicle crash. a car was completely on fire and i do want to kind of take you over to some live pictures along 580. this is probably the best that we've seen it move since that sigalert was issued. this is along westbound 580 at eden where the semi is overturned. they have two lanes open and it's still crawling, no estimated time on when those are expected to reopen. this is the sky ranger shot of 680 southbound. where the mul vehicle car crash happened. looks to be like the right hand shoulder eaand some people migh use that as well. they decided to run a sweep which means they need to clear

debris from several of the lanes. the estimated time of clearing the lanes is said to be shortly after 7:00 a.m. we have a lot of time before they clear that out completely. delays upwards of 90 minutes. >> oh, goodness. >>. keep your tank full. >> we've got cooler weather on the way. what we'll feel today will be basically what carries us through the weekend. we'll have mid-60s for the coast, and morning clouds and fog and bay will be at 74 for the high. 78 degrees inland. on father's day, we'll still have that nice weather going out to the park. going to some of the golf courses it's going to be beautiful out there with lots of sunshine. and as for tomorrow, jun juneteenth in the park will be happening. mid-70s and much cooler weather than last year for juneteenth in the park. if you're going out, bring the
