from the california energy commission to really try to understand why the gas prices are so high in california. the energy commission claims it's because of higher taxes, tougher regulations and trouble at refineries. a 2017 study by the petroleum market industry said it didn't account for the price difference. i went to gasbuddy.com, and the average for california is $4.03. announcements by uc berkeley shows this unexplained price hike, more than $17 billion since february of 2015. so here's what drivers in walnut creek that i spoke to are saying about the high gas prices. >> years change. with he don't improve as much in terms of getting paid more. it feels like it stays the same. and prices, including gas, just goes up. it's bad. >> this is the part about living

waiting to cross. now, in this video, you can see their belongings were strewn all throughout the intersection and the scene. there were eight victims, i mentioned. the youngest is 13 years old. they were all taken to the hospital. police say some of the injuries are serious. the driver crashed into a nearby tree, was taken into custody, arrested. police have question to determine his motive, which is still a big question mark for us. >> we have preliminary witness statements that the car was accelerating. and based upon what's on scene it looks like he didn't try to brake at all. >> reporter: police have indicated they will update us with a news conference sometime later today. if you're traveling to this area, you can still get down the el camino real. it's just there are lanes closed. they expect to have them open later in the morning around 10:00. bob redell, "today in the bay". bob, thanks so much for that update. so we are covering all

the legal right to demand the president's taxes. the white house missed a deadline to turn those over. now we are left asking what happens now? there is a court case, but it's not clear the white house would turn over the records even if ordered by the courts. now, the founding fathers did not intend for the president, the executive, to be the most powerful branch in government doing whatever he wants regardless of the other branches. they set up a system of checks and balances. that's to make sure ideally they were all co-equal. you remember this from seventh grade. in practice, this has not not worked out. presidents keep pushing their power. and that include the presidents from both parties. remember, when congress wouldn't act on immigration, president obama created an executive order, daca, to protect children of undocumented immigrants. it's not clear he had the legal authority to do that. some of the same people now say

trump has the power to defy congress are suing to stop obama's daca because they see it as a violation of presidential power. jared kushner spoke in public for the first time since the release of the mueller report. he claimed the investigation into whether russians interfered was more damaging than the russians interfering. >> if you look at what russia did, trying to sow dissent is a terrible thing. but i think the investigations and all the speculation for the last two years has had a much harsher impact on our democracy. >> a few facebook ads he would go on to say. the first words of the mueller report is interfered in sweeping and systemic fashion. president trump said several times he does not believe this. the "new york times", by the way, saying this morning chief of staff mulvaney instructed the head of homeland security not to discuss election security with the president.

we're watching everything that's going on in washington. follow me on twitter. @scottmcgrew. >> thanks, scott. so if you don't know who oakland's damian lillard is, maybe you will know after this. of course you're going to know. last night oklahoma city facing off in the playoffs. portland trail blazers had one last chance to put them away, and here's what happened. >> lillard, long-range three. score! >> that was just a pretty shot. >> that was nice. >> trail blazers win the fame on the 37-foot buzzer beater. they move on to the conference semi times. he graduated from oakland high school. >> all right. >> when the trailblazers came to regular season, went to the warriors game. he said why are they clapping for that guy? because he's awesome.

>> and he's ours. he's our local guy. kari, you were saying maybe he should come back home. >> absolutely. >> he may not like this hot weather we're going to have. a live look at walnut creek. we start out with clear skies. we'll see our temperatures trend this morning. if you have plans to get yard work done, go for a run, try to get it done before 9:00. after that it starts to heat up and fast. we're going to be at 83 degrees as you head out for lurch. so you may want to stay in the air-conditioning today for your lunch hour. look at how hot it's going to be today. reaching 90 degrees in livermore. 92 in concord. we may be setting records again today. in spots like santa rosa, as we reach 93 degrees, san francisco, not going to reach a record high. but still very warm with upper 70s. palo alto, 88 degrees. 89 will be very close in san jose. as you are starting out and

getting dressed, you're doing whatever you can to stay cool today, especially if you're on spring break. make it a pool day. it's going to be a nice day to enjoy some summer activities and maybe some shorts will be necessary too. if you're going to the warriors game tonight, the tip-off will be 7:30. we are going to see the temperatures at 67 degrees. so after a warm day, cools down nicely this evening with mostly clear skies. we're seeing clear skies all across the region. we have this large area of high pressure. that's giving us clear skies. it makes the air sink. as it sinks, it warms. they have stayed well to the north of us and even any clouds. but there will be changes in the pattern going toward the end of the weekend. a storm system to our south, moving through the sierra will bring rain chances close to the pay area. but we may not see any of that rain. i'll be watching out for that toward the end of the weekend. it will shift our winds, give us

an ocean please, and bring temperatures into the low 70s for early next week. we are looking at well above normal temperatures the next few days. mike, you're clearing up some of the confusion about dublin. >> yeah, i hope so. overall the pay looks great. again, the tri-valley west 580, we had a crash reported. i saw the flashing lights. what happened was in the chp report just before that last commercial break, got an update that said the tow truck was having trouble locating the incident at the dublin interchange, blocking three lanes. they have cleared all lanes now. maybe the vehicles made their way over to the shoulder just before the tow truck got there. whatever the case, speeds are starting to improve. let's take you to waze. our partners timing things out. we have options out of livermore area. santa rita, or down other avenues as well, which will be a little slower. it is the fastest route to get past the scene of the backup. join nbc pay area wazers.
