breaking news this hour out of the south bay, two people are dead after a horrific wrong-way crash on 85 >> "today in the bay's" bob redell just arrived on the scene, mountain view, he's been there about half an hour there, shortly after it happened. anything new, bob? >> reporter: well they're almost about to remove the other body. we're trying to have the road here northbound highway 85 at evelyn reopened by 6:00 but it could be sooner. two people are dead unfortunately as a result of a wrong-way driver, the wrong-way driver a white car, suv, used to be a redford suv colliding with this black honda civic, this

happened around 1:00 this morning. the driver of the redford suv was heading south on northbound 85 when they collided head-on with the honda civic at central expressway overpass. both drivers were killed, as i mentioned. we know the driver of the honda civic was a 35-year-old man from american canyon. the suv caught fire on impact. the body of the wrong-way driver is so badly disfigured, chp and fire they can't tell if that person was a man or a woman. what do you suspect was going on with the wrong-way driver? >> it's hard to say. wrong-way drivers are typically caused by impairment. it can sometimes be confusion, but based on the time of day, it could have been anything right now. we don't have anything firmly indicating that, but in general, wrong-way drivers do tend to be impaired drivers or those who are kind of confused. >> reporter: chp says at least two other drivers avoided

hitting that wrong-way driver but their calls to 911 did not arrive until after this accident so again, all northbound lanes of highway 85 shut down here at evelyn. so you'll be told to get off at evelyn. fortunately it's early in the morning commute and looking off camera here, doesn't look like there's much of a backup if any. the chp is trying to have all lanes reopened by 6:00 but it could happen sooner. reporting live here in mountain view, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thanks for the latest there, bob. let's check in with mike, watching the maps and how this is going to affect your commute. >> biggest concern, two people dead after that crash and somebody driving the wrong way on the freeway, that tragedy going on and the reason why 85 is closed. the very practical concern though is how are you going to get through the area. silicon valley moves smoothly with the light, light traffic flow, starting to see more cars on the roadway and traveling north cupertino, sunnyvale and in to mountain view, we have the closure at evelyn. folks may know as the sunnyvale

exit taking you over central expressway at the border. if you get off the freeway, you'll be there on evelyn, you'll take that over toward central expressway via castro and go up shoreline boulevard through mountain view and passing google and linkedin. the amphitheater and toward 101 gets you on your way. it's a reroute. allow 15 minutes extra especially if you don't know the area. use waze, join nbc bay area wazers and share information. the rest of the bay shows a smooth drive. bob was talking about the hope they could reopen the lanes before 6:00 a.m. and they were making progress from w that scene. everybody's safe, the concern is watch for flashing lights and do watch where they tell you to get off the freeway. they are getting on to the bay bridge. >> a live look in oakland it's starting to get busy at 5:00, with some cool temperatures to start out, after a hot day yesterday. if you're headed out to the fruitvale b.a.r.t. station, we encourage more people to ride transit, because it is a spare

the air alert day. our temperatures start out in the mid-60s, reach into the mid-70s at 10:00, and then into the mid 80s by early afternoon. eventually we're hitting 91 in oakland today but our hottest temperatures up to 102 degrees in livermore, antioch and in concord. we'll get a look closer at this and what's ahead with some major cooling that's coming up in the microclimate forecast. >> thank you very much. staying on that microclimate weather alert, thousands are about to experience the extreme heat tonight. big festivals happening in the south bay. >> "today in the bay's" kris sanchez is live in downtown san jose and kris, people need to prepare. >> reporter: yes, you have to be ready if you're headed out to have some fun this weekend. arena green here across from the s.a.p. center is all set up for the three-day festival and it's supposed to be a lot of fun but also supposed to be about 100 degrees here in san jose today alone. so if you're planning to be outside here or really anywhere around the bay area, you're going to want to make sure that you hydrate beforehand, drink

water before you even get out into the heat. if you have kids, you want to make sure that they take ten gulps per 20 minutes of play, that's about five ounces per 20 minutes, if they are outside playing sports. we know some of our sports teams are in full swing. avoid strenuous activity. don't exercise outside if you can avoid it, and when you get hot, try to take a break inside, if you don't have ac at home, try to find a library or maybe go to the mall. check out this graphic on the left the symptoms of heat exhaustion, feeling faint or dizzy, sweating excessively but having zh having skin that feels cold and crampy. if you feel this way you have to get out of the heat, drink some water, take a cold shower, that will help. if you feel the symptoms on the right-hand side of your screen, that's heat stroke, you need to call 911, if this is you or anybody that you're with. no sweating, headache, vomiting, or perhaps losing consciousness. now if you plan to beat the

heat, by heading to the beach or going to san francisco, don't let your guard down because in the city, heat related illness can double during heat waves. >> it's easy to get numb to it and think eh, it's just 90. there are people in georgia who have it worse, but for us in san francisco we really want to encourage people to take it seriously. >> reporter: the festival here at arena green across from the s.a.p. center is to celebrate the s.a.p. center's 25th anniversary and they've done it up big, brought blake shelton to headline tonight and the event is free so we expect a lot of people are going to show up and the festival runs from 2:00 to 7:00, the hottest hours of the day, so if you're headed out, make sure that you are prepared and that you drink some water, wear your sunscreen and wear light colored clothing. we'd like to you see you back here monday morning. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> everyone is excited for friday but it will be a hot on full moon tonight, too, and it's the 13th. stay connected all day long with nbc bay area. we have an app where you can get

hour by hour forecasts and it's all free. now to decision 2020, last night in houston, ten democratic candidates took the stage. one of the key discussions was gun control. this morning still no clarity on what new laws president trump is considering. as "today in the bay's" tracie potts reports, nancy pelosi doesn't want to talk about impeachment. >> i'm not answering any more questions on this subject. >> reporter: house speaker nancy pelosi says she's done talking about impeachment. >> why is it that you're hung. on a word over here when lives are at stake over there? >> reporter: lives cut short by guns, president trump is vowing to protect. >> it's a possibility that this is just a ploy to take your guns away, or whether or not it's meaningful. if it's meaningful, we'll make a deal. >> reporter: it came up at last night's democratic debate. >> i'm the only one up here who has ever beat the nra. >> reporter: blaming president trump for mass shootings. >> obviously he didn't pull the

trigger but he certainly has been tweeting out the ammunition. >> reporter: democrats are urging the president to act. >> 90% of americans want to see us do, i like registration, want to see us do back ground checks. >> reporter: and oppose the nra like he did when banning bump stocks. >> didn't harm you at all, didn't hurt you at all with your base and this will not either. >> reporter: but could democrats' new impeachment rule discourage whether trump from negotiating? >> really what we have is a walk down the yellow brick road. the emerald city is impeachment and my colleagues are desperate to get there. >> reporter: whatever you call it -- >> some call this process an impeachment inquiry, some call it an impeachment investigation. there is no legal difference between these terms. >> reporter: the house judiciary committee is moving forward. tracie potts, nbc news, washington. >> 5:08 right now. all that is left of the dive boat that erupted in flames on labor day morning in southern california now in the hands of investigators.

salvage crews pulled up the wreckage yesterday. in the meantime investigators now believe the crew violated regulations. they say all crew members were asleep at the time of the fire, even though someone was required to be awake. a bay area diver we spoke to says he'd never observed that on his frequent trips aboard the "conception." >> when they're out in the main harbor like that, there's normally somebody on a night watch that's keeping an eye on things in general, make sure that the boat doesn't drift, if there's any current, if it gets too windy, things like that. >> one of the boat owners' attorneys released a statement last night saying "based on our internal investigation at this point, one crew member was awake and inspected the galley and saloon area as late as 2:30 in the morning to make sure everything was safe and sound." the fire was first reported about 45 minutes later, it killed 34 people, including 23 from northern california. 5:09.

"today in the bay's" bob redell is on the scene and bob, you have some updates. >> reporter: we do, scott and laura. both vehicles have been removed. caltrans is trying to do some basic cleanup here on northbound highway 85 at the central expressway overpass here in mountain view. the expectation is to have all lanes reopened by 6:00 if not sooner. this is the result of a deadly fatal wrong-way driver crash that happened around 1:00 this morning involving an suv and honda civic.

the driver of a redford suv was headed south on northbound 85 when they collided head on with the driver of the honda civic. both drivers were killed. we know the driver of the honda civic was a 35-year-old man from american canyon. the suv which is registered here in mountain view it caught fire, that driver was a woman, that's the only information we are getting from chp. chp does not know yet if she was drunk or impaired when she was heading down the wrong way here on northbound highway 85. chp says at least two other drivers avoided hitting her as she was headed the wrong way but their calls to 911 did not arrive until after this accident. so again, as you can see back out here live they have fluid they have to clean up, talking about the cal trans workers and debris. once they get that clear and get the sweeper out here all lanes northbound 85 reopened here. in the meantime you'll be detoured at evelyn. until they get this reopened. again, estimated time 6:00. live in mountain view, bob

word, northbound 85, the sweeper truck now going over the spill on the roadway, debris and the flashlight from caltrans trying to make sure all sharp objects are removed from the roadway. north 85 still closed after the deadly crash, the same scene, you saw the cleanup that was necessary. a wrong-way driver shut down the freeway early this morning at 1:00. we have the closure in place, hoping to open before 6:00 a.m. we have a build happening on north 85. we'll talk you through that, coming up. we're also under a microclimate weather alert, due to a heat advisory in effect and in the inland east bay, walnut creek we're at 63 degrees to start out. nice cool start but another hot day. at noon we're at 91 degrees so we'll talk about how hot it gets and what's ahead for the weekend, in less than five minutes. >> we'll check back with you. new this morning, b.a.r.t. operators reportedly raising safety concerns about the

transit agency's new fleet. >> according to "the examiner" some drivers believe the trains could potentially trap and kill passengers. they believe the doors are tough to open. because they face each other, it could present an added barrier in the event of an emergency. operators say they brought up the issue at two recent board meetings. b.a.r.t. is downplaying the claims. those concerns about b.a.r.t.'s fleet come as muni says it fixed its faulty train car doors. in april a muni passenger got her hand caught in a malfunctioning door as they she tried to get under the trains and it got sucked under the platform when the train moved along. mta stopped running two car trains around the same time after our investigative unit revealed the train's couplers had a design flaw that caused them to break. the agency says both issues have now been fixed. let's go back to b.a.r.t. and a follow-up, b.a.r.t. will officially get a home base, a new one. b.a.r.t. directors approved a plan to buy a building in

downtown oakland, eventually will serve as the new headquarters. the lease at its current headquarters ex-spires in 2021. this is what the new building will look like. the cost $227 million. i think we're going to show you the new building, maybe not. b.a.r.t. says in the long run, there it is, the agency will save money because it will own that building. friends and supporters of a mentally ill walnut creek man killed three months ago by police are demanding action. they rallied last night outside city hall, calling for the department to discipline the officers who shot and killed mylz hall in june. police eventually released body cam video showing hall was carrying a metal bar. police say he was a threat to responding officers, but family members think otherwise. >> you need to see what the community is asking and they're asking that these officers are taken off the street because how can you -- you betrayed a community and betrayed a family. >> family members believe tasers

should have been used, not lethal force. they announced the civil suit yesterday against the city, the department and the officers involved. >> 5:46. el vit the e. coli levels found in part of the american river popular among swimmers, "the sacramento bee" commissioned the tests. the "sacramento bee" found the highest levels along the lower stretch of the river and in the city near where it meets the sacramento river. that area has a high homeless population. human waste is thought to be the big contributor.

the south bay shutting down highway 85. video from earlier this morning this happened just after 1:00 in the morning. person going the wrong way on northbound highway 85, going south and crashed with somebody else. people in both cars as i understand it were killed and the debris at the crash scene all had the investigation going on for hours. we are at the scene, live with bob redell and it does look like they've been able to remove the vehicles. the final cleanup is continuing at the scene. the flat bed tow truck and two vehicles. the they may be clearing bob from the scene right there. we want to get you back out to first of all let me show you if i can get back to, well i can't get back now. we have to show you the issue in sunnyvale and mountain view at 85 is closed at evelyn. i've been telling folks to exit and get on to central expressway and get over toward shoreline. the problem over here is my maps are frozen in mid form because i

was tweeting this picture out. folks, if you're traveling on the east bay this one is for you, this is a bad backup north 880, traveling up toward marina, we have basically no lanes effectively open. i believe they're allowing traffic through slowly on the shoulder but big rigs have been allowed over on to westbound 580, it's going to be a while. there is a box truck, a suburban and a boat with a trailer not connected to anything in the lanes at marina. if you enter the freeway north of davis street you're okay. coming up through san lorenzo and t castro valley y this is a huge problem. there is the standard backup at the bay bridge, but things are pretty predictable over there for the friday, kari, at least that's a little bit lighter on the maze and the approach. over to you. we are also under a microclimate weather alert, a clear view from our san bruno mountain camera, a sunny day also very warm once again. we are going to see some drifts

hot but we go into tonight with upper 60s. as we go into the weekend, we'll be tracking the storm systems moving across the pacific midwest right now blocked by high pressure but as the high pressure moves out of the way, cooler air moves in. we'll see clouds on saturday, especially on sunday, mostly cloudy skies and then a slight chance of rain in the forecast for monday especially for the north bay, kind of looks like it breaks apart for the rest of the bay area but nice to at least see a slight chance of rain in the forecast, going into next week, coming along with some much cooler temperatures, so the inland valleys from 101 today to 75 for the high on monday. i'll have a look more at these drastic changes coming up in the next forecast. >> thank you, kari. parts of southeast spain under water this morning. at least two people are dead after rains swept cars away and blocked roads. firefighters rescued local residents who were trapped on highways. severe weather warnings have been issued as well.
