throughout san jose, milpitas, moving smoothly as far as that drive. at the summit an earlier crash. crews arrived on the scene and blocked one lane. that's causing a slow drive north into the summit area. southbound distracted by the lights and the backup there and maybe a second crash, maybe, in the area. checking on that. and the distraction heading southbound toward highway 1 and highway 101 northbound, slowing through san martin, although the road weather index shows the roadways should are drier now. no problem for the bay shore. and west 92, picking up company. back to you. >> thanks. 6:02 now. keeping a close eye on washington for you this morning. reports that the fbi could end its investigation into brett kavanaugh soon. >> "today in the bay" tracie potts joins us like in washington. something else people are talking ak. the president mocking the testimony from palo alto's dr. ford? >> reporter: mocking some say.

others say just pointing out discrepancies in her testimony. we'll let you hear it for yourself. meantime, we are also hearing from at least two sources familiar with this investigation that it could wrap up soon. sources are telling nbc the fbi could end its investigation of sexual misconduct allegations against judge brett kavanaugh days ahead of schedule. without interviewing his accuser, dr. christine blasey ford. president trump mocking her at a rally in san francisco. >> how did you get home? i don't remember. where is the place? i don't remember. how many years ago? i don't know. i don't know. but i had one beer. that's the only thing i remember. >> reporter: ford's lawyer calling it a vicious, vile and soulless account. >> -- as quickly as they can but

linked. a 33-year-old cold case murder in contra costa county is solved. detectives used a technique never successfully used in the bay area called a familiar search using dna collected from a crime scene. a woman found raped and murdered in 1985 and her killer never found. 16 years ago a dna profile was made from the evidence but the case went cold again. then last year the sheriff's office used that search method and it ties joey ford to the crime. ford was a plumber in the area and he died 20 years ago. we talk about his texts every morning here on "today in the bay." you can expect a tweet from president trump today. this is actually fema testing a new way to notify americans across the country in an event of an emergency. it's called a presidential alert. and anyone with a cell phone is going to get that one this morning. it's going to happen at 11:18 our time and read presidential
