america's largest pipeline has the white house scrambling and consumers wondering about gas prices. should you fill up now? i'll tell you. "today in the bay" continues right now. >> good monday morning to you. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm marcus washington. first breaking news for you this morning out of redwood city. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez is live on the busy el camino real closed due to some traffic death in this situation. tell us what you've been able to find out this morning. >> reporter: you can see the crime scene tape behind me, at roosevelt it would appear there was a hit-and-run that happened on lincoln just behind me there. police are not telling me much. el camino real is a busy thorough fare and a lot of people are trying to get around this area. this happened around 2:25 this morning, that it was reported to 911 some witnesses have been

talking with police, overoverheard some of what they told police but not reporting that until we can confirm it. it appears one person was struck and killed and they're left in the roadway at this point it's not clear whether or not the driver turned themselves in at this point. el camino real is closed between roosevelt where we are and maple. it's a decent stretch of roadway. mike inouye has your get-arounds, this is a busy way to get through redwood city. >> now it's early right now, very little traffic on the surface streets, going to get more crowded at f this lasts for more than a couple of hours, over there, adams or main street, adams to the west and main kind of diagonal to the right, to the east there but local traffic control will let you know once you get there, in redwood city. if you're driving through on the freeway, 101 moves smoothly there. the issue 101 further south in

apa low alto one lane is blocked by a disabled big rig. the concern chp says it may be another 45 minutes until they can clear that. that is a note headed southbound for the peninsula. other than those two issues no other unexpected issues going on for the rest of the bay including the early start from contra costa county. back to you. >> thank you very much. we're also keeping an eye on your forecast this morning, taking a live look at our cameras across the bay area this morning. the fire danger is still very concerning this hour. >> meteorologist kari hall has been tracking it all for us. kari, we seem to be getting into a pattern when it comes to the threat of those fires, as things really start to heat up. >> yes, it's been so hot and we have scientists who go out and take little snippets of some of the vegetation, theyture is in . we have a high fire danger as we look at the areas shaded in the

red in the hills as well as mountains and parts of the north bay we are going to have hot winds coming in today, blowing off shore and low humidity. for more let's head over to "today in the bay's" bob redell live in dublins amore information on that red flag warning that has been extended. >> reporter: good morning to you. the red flag warning for the east bay hills and mountains in the north bay, that was a red flag warning supposed to expire in an hour at 6:00 this morning but the meteorologist at the national weather service extended it until 6:00 tomorrow night. for another 36 hours because of the hot, dry conditions that you were mentioning kari, conditions so dry the newell open space in american canyon is temporarily closed as a precaution to keep anyone from sparking a wildfire. danny fam and any taki st awa

recently moved to american canyon after they were evacuated from their home in san jose last year due to the scu fire. they chose american canyon because it's not close to mountains and figure it's a little safer from wildfires. >> i know that everywhere california is starting with fire. last year we stayed near the sacramento area, it was so bad there, so i choose here because there was the water. >> actually we do construction so every time there's a fire, it always affects us with the smoke in the air. it's a fact of life we have to start dealing with. >> reporter: fire departments in our region have been mobilizing equipment and fire crews to strategic spots across the bay area. they've been doing that since last weekend. this week in lafayette, that city's emergency preparedness commission is going to meet and strategize how to prepare for this year's drought and wildfire season. that meeting if you're interested is this wednesday

night at 7:00, it will be live streamed. reporting live in dublin, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> bob, thank you. be sure to download our mobile app to keep up to the news that is breaking as well as the weather reports. it really is tailored for our area or the area you're in at that moment and be sure to make sure you download that because it is free. 14 months after closing its offices, facebook is reopening this morning for some employees. the company's menlo park headquarter also allow up to 10% capacity. employees can still work from home at least until july 2nd or up to a month after their office has reopened at 50% capacity. in the meantime saleforce plans to open its san francisco tower one week from today. the first employees to return will be those who are fully vaccinated and volunteer to return to the office. the 49ers are teaming up to get vaccinated.

the team will hold a news conference to announce a plan, tomorrow through thursday in addition to getting the shot, some teams will have a chance to visit the team's locker room at levi's and the first 100 teens in line receive gift cards to starbucks and chipotle. a dj will be there to liven up the bunch there, no appointment is necessary but teens must live in santa clara county. a live look in los angeles where starting today appointments are no longer needed to receive a covid vaccine. the new rule applies to all city vaccination sites and expands the policy launch last week for some walkup and mobile locations. to make it easier the city is offering nighttime vaccinations. with more and more people getting the vaccine, we are seeing an increase in travel plans for summer getaways. joining me is dr. supriya narasimhan.

>> good morning, it's a great day. how are you? >> right now a lot of people are making plans for summer vacation because so many people are getting vaccinated and we've seen a good number right here in california but do you think that we've hit a wall because we're seeing less people getting vaccinated nationwide? >> yes, that's a great question. in california, i think as you know, in santa clara county we've had about 70% of adults getting at least one dose of the vaccine, 45% fully vaccinated. california on average has 50% of adults received one dose of effective vaccine and 33% are fully vaccinated. we did see a little dip in the vaccination rates right when the johnson & johnson pause was announced, understandably so but what the public needs to understand is this was the

system working as intended. when vaccines are released we know there are some side effects or some associations that are so rare, they happen one in several thousand people, and they're not going to show up in studies. the fact that they were able to pause it, they were able to study it, they were able to safely conclude that the vaccination can resume, it shows that the system worked as intended. even though we did see a dip around that time, the vaccination rates have picked up again and currently we're having a 95% rate in our vaccination sites around the county to locally i am cautiously optimistic we will not hit a vaccination wall but you're right. we have to look towards equity in vaccine distribution, if we do hit a vaccination wall in certain communities or certain parts of the united states, we will see continued transmission in those pockets and that transmission allows for variants

to emerge and vaccines to occur. so it's very key -- >> thanks, dr. narshimhan. at 5:30 we'll talk about summer travel. a lot of you have plans and what you need to know before booking that getaway. a follow-up on another arraignment scheduled for a man accused of standing two elderly asian women in a random attack in san francisco. patrick thompson was supposed to be formally charged on friday but refused to go to court. he has a long history of mental illness. women were attacked last week at a bus stop on market street. the 85-year-old chu fong ng is recovered from a punctured lung. oakland council will debate the budget, 18% is set aside for the police department, activists are working to cut the budge net

half arguing it would be better spent on social services and the budget includes about $40 million to increase homeless shelters. a high stakes rescue, still ahead at 5:25 on "today in the bay," the quick thinking from first responders to save three men clinging to a small rock on the peninsula shoreline. a massive hack attack against america's largest pipeline has a lot of people wondering about gas prices. i'll bring you the latest coming up. plus, it may be the latest cries in cryptocurrency, dogecoin. did elon musk help or hurt it during the "snl" debate? a stab at the humor may have shifted the crypto market. you're watching "today in the bay."

from the colonial pipeline, in fact, much of the gas we use here is actually oil we pulled out of the ground in california, but if gas supplies get low back east, our prices could go up, because gasoline is fungible, that is you can move it from market to market, seeking the best price. gas is gas. now i've said in the past, no matter who is president, presidents really cannot affect gas prices, either up or down. what they can do is increase supply. we'll talk about what mr. biden is doing to increase supply as we talk politics, in about 30 minutes. elon musk was on "saturday night live" over the weekend. i thought he'd use the opportunity to promote dogecoin, the cryptocurrency that started as a joke. he's been promoting it and i thought as a result of the price of dogecoin would go up because he was promoing it on "snl." in the end he called it a hustle and the price of the cyber

currency collapsed almost the moment he said it. here's muss income the role of a financial adviser on "weekend update." >> what is it, man? >> i keep telling you it's a cryptocurrency you can trade for conventional money. >> oh. so it's a hustle. >> yeah, it's a hustle. >> why not say that, man. >> it's a hustle. to the moon! >> it's good to see him come clean anyway. so yes, things like bitcoin and whatnot, people are supportive of. dogecoin was supposed to be a spoof of bitcoin and it's been expensive and people have been buying it into musk said what he did. >> that's that wah-wah. thanks, scott. also from "saturday night live," look at this, elon musk shared the spotlight with "snl" mother. during the cold open, miley cyrus covered "light of the clear blue morning" the moms of

cast members showed up to celebrate mother's day with their kids. take a look. >> i'm so happy you're here, mom. >> me, too, boy. >> oh, mom, don't purel my face. >> mom, you're a doctor. is everything going to be all right? >> yes. >> are you proud of me? >> yes. >> would you be more proud of me if i were a doctor? >> of course. >> so you see right there, cyrus closed the performance wishing a happy mother's day to her godmother, dolly parton, as well as her mother, tish cyrus, who was also there at the performance. >> that was my favorite part of "saturday night live" seeing all the moms. many argue being a mom is a full time job. turns out they're wrong. a study from the juice and jelly maker welch's it's equivalent to two and a half full time jobs. researchers studied 2,000 moms

with children ages 5 through 12 and found on average they worked 14-hour days. the average mom started the day at 6:23 a.m. and ended it at 8:31 p.m. no word on how many of those moms had triplets out there. that story got me thinking. i mean, i get up at, we get up at 2:30 in the morning and some nights i don't go to bed until about 10:00 at night. kid's got a lot of homework. >> i was going to say wow, i don't think most moms get ten hours a day off. >> but it's the biggest joy as well. it really was and we get one day to celebrate and it's over, kari, it's over now. mother's day's gone. >> it's already over but it's nice we're continuing that celebration today here on "today in the bay," and at least our weather has been nice during those early hours, but it's been heating up during those afternoons. let's take a live look outside in san francisco, we're going to

wake up to a beautiful sunrise, and we're home schooling of course, we know that's another job right there, and so if you're going to be heading outdoors, trying to find those opportunities for kids in concord to go out and play, better make it early. take a look at this trend, at 11:00, it's already 80 degrees, and then it will be in the 90s today, reaching 92 between 2:00 and 3:00. so yes, the earlier the better, check out the seven-day forecast, it's already up at the bottom of the screen, as we talk about our fire danger today, that continues. we've been saying a lot that we have to be really careful because it's been so windy and those temperatures have been heating up. let's get a look at this wind speed forecast, we have a northerly wind that forces the air offshore and dries out the air, and then we start to see more of an ocean breeze picking uhm when the winds come in from the west, that means slightly more humidity, but we don't see that for long before the winds start to shift in from the north, once again heading into tomorrow, and at the same time

we have single digit relative humidity, so that's really bad for all the vegetation out there, it dries it out very quickly. and this as our temperatures head into the 90s again today with santa rosa reaching 91. san francisco will see a high of 76 degrees and 85 in san jose. livermore reaches 92, we'll see a high of 90 today in martinez. we're watching out for those extremely dry conditions but there will be some changes as we head through the week. high pressure moves on, it makes way for this low to quickly dive on through but at least it will give us a cooler weekend and highs returning back into the 70s. mike, you've been watching breaking news in redwood city. what is the update? >> the worst news i have to deliver, folks who haven't heard this, el camino real is closed because of a crash that killed somebody, closing highway or state route 82 between roosevelt and maple. kris sanchez is on the scene gathering more details as the redwood city police continue the

investigation. meanwhile, nearby a highway 101 has slowing, a lot of slowing as a tow truck arrives to move the disabled big rig southbound 101 at san antonio road coming down in toward the mountain view area. the rest of the bay moves smoothly no, major issues. the bay bridge toll plaza very clear right now, very light traffic and i hope you're equally as fortunate for wherever you're driving this morning, bringing you good fortune. let me take you out to our social media post today, celebrating aapi heritage month focusing on something you'll know well if you're a fan of chinese food, that's right, the fortune cookie. find out about gary and the history of the fortune cookie, people associate it with chinese food. it's not even from china. in fact, we'll see whether or not chinese folks even invented this and the story behind it, how it traveled across america, there's a lot of links to click, a lot of great information, and we'll follow some folks on their fact-finding all this week.

i'll be talking about foods that may not be what you assume they are. they are distinctly asian-american and all month i'm trying to drop knowledge about the diversity of aapis cultures we're honoring. back to you. >> i love that, perfect, thanks, mike. coming up next on "today in the bay," "nbc bay area responds." >> she shells out more than a thousand bucks for an appliance but she still is doing its work by hand. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura.

i'm morgan, and there's more to me than hiv. more love,... more adventure,... more community. but with my hiv treatment,... there's not more medicines in my pill. i talked to my doctor... and switched to... fewer medicines with dovato. prescription dovato is for some adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment or replacing their current hiv-1 regimen. with... just 2 medicines... in 1 pill,... dovato is as effective as a 3-drug regimen... to help you reach and stay undetectable. research shows people who take hiv treatment as prescribed... and get to and stay undetectable... can no longer transmit hiv through sex. don't take dovato if you're allergic to any of its ingredients... or if you take dofetilide. hepatitis b can become harder to treat while taking dovato. do not stop dovato without talking to your doctor,... as your hepatitis b may worsen or become life-threatening. serious or life-threatening side effects can occur, including... allergic reactions, lactic acid buildup, and liver problems. if you have a rash and other symptoms of an allergic reaction,... stop taking dovato and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems,

including hepatitis b or c,... or if you are, may be, or plan to be pregnant. your doctor may prescribe a different medicine... than dovato if you plan to be pregnant or if pregnancy is confirmed during the first trimester. dovato may harm your unborn baby. use effective birth control... while taking dovato. most common side effects are headache, nausea,... diarrhea, trouble sleeping, tiredness, and anxiety. so much goes... into who i am. hiv medicine is one part of it. ask your doctor about dovato—i did.

the winery was purchased by gallo along with 30 other small wine labels from constellation. gallos tells "the press democrat" it is transitioning the bulk of wine production no other wineries. you know who they called consumer investigator chris chmura. >> good morning. irma maura told us she's been drying her laundry on a clothes line even though she spent $1,048 on a brand new dryer. she shared problems of loud noises and a drum getting stuck as well as her attempts to get both home depot and lg to help her out but irma says all her efforts were not getting her closer to actually drying her laundry in her dryer. so she contacted us. our team contacted home depot. it took action and refunded irma $1,048 so she can buy a new

dryer. we requested a statement from the situation, but did not hear back. irma did the right thing here. when you discover a problem with a product right after delivery, remember, you have two possible avenues of resource, the manufacturer, with its warranty, plus the store with its return policy. just be sure with the store that your item is eligible for a return, and you know how long that window is open. don't blow a deadline. as always, keep a detailed record of who you talk to and when, just like irma did. if all else fails, contact us, go to nbcbayarea.com then click the "responds" option from the main menu or call us, 888-996-tips. next, staying home. the growing number of students choosing to keep learning from home despite many california schools rolling out the full return plans. plus the new mandatory water restrictions taking effect today in the north bay.

you have to find a reroute. at this point witnesses have been talking with police so perhaps they have some information there. along the thoroughfare there are a lot of businesses, a lot of different kinds of businesses, car dealership, fast food restaurants and whatnot but does not appear there are any businesses that would have been open at that point. that's the bad news, but the good news is that because there are so many businesses, we are seeing quite a few surveillance cameras in the area so hopefully police will have something to work with. if you need to get through this area, mike inouye has your best bet around. >> good morning, kris. sad scene over there in redwood city. the work-around you go a block in either direction you should be able to get there, adams over to the west and main. i know it's a little angled over there away from the scene but that gets you past as well. that's on el camino. in palo alto on 101 we had a lot of slowing south approaching san antonio the exit there, disabled big rig. a tow truck arrived on the scene and slowing from the sensors.

they may have moved that rig. the rest of the bay pretty minor drive right now, no major problems there, contra costa county does see slowing, a crash on the shoulder in concord so we'll track that with some slowing now for that corner and kari, you're starting out with an alert as well. >> yes, so we do have the microclimate weather alert because of the red flag warning that does continue from the weekend, and we've seen numerous grass fires sparking up, but hopefully we don't see anything that becomes much larger, but we have that danger today in these areas shaded in red, this is where we have the red flag warning that continues through 6:00 tomorrow evening for the north and east bay hills, humidity levels have been extremely low, and we've had these high winds picking up especially during the afternoons, we're still looking at those gusts today thatreach up to 60 miles per hour at the same time as the relative humidity numbers come down into the single digits so we have to be very careful today, laura. >> um-hum.

"today in the bay's" cierra johnson is live in san francisco this morning and the governor thinks that we can rebound even stronger than ever after the pandemic. >> reporter: yes, good morning, marcus. that is exactly what his office is touting for this announcement coming at 10:00 this morning in we'll bring you all of that live as it happens. right now the governor's office is being tight-lipped as to what exactly this plan does. he did reveal an expansion to child care in his social media pages sunday, the expansion includes adding 100,000 child

care slots, investing millions into child care for californians and the announcement revealed $200 million to support career pathways for the health care workers and other millions in state funds support child care providers. now that announcement did not come with a time line or how that money, where that money would come from. this move not only provides additional child care opportunities but emerging from the pandemic, that's the goal of today's announcement. it comes after newsom and lawmakers work to crete a budget deal shrink a shortfall from the start of the pandemic, 2020 california saw finances greatly impacted by the coronavirus. so just in a matter of hours, folks here in the golden state should have a better idea of how that money will be allocated as well as some of those lump sums of money given by federal governments for pandemic relief, how some of that, that has not been spent, how some of that will be allocated and how it will impact yo we're live in san francisco,

cierra johnson for "today in the bay." >> thanks so much, cierra. 5:35. the bay area has some of the best covid-19 vaccination rates in the entire country, take a look at this chart. according to cdc, every county in the bay area, except solano has 50% of the population with at least one dose. however, herd immunity may still be a long way off, due to global immunity, a key component being unattainable for a long time, due to limited vaccine access in other parts of the world. bay area health officials say their focus now is getting as many people injected locally. they say life can return to normal if enough people are vaccinated. more americans are debating taking summer vacations and planning getaways as more people get their vaccine shot. join me is dr. sapriya narashimhan. chief of infectious diseases at santa clara valley medical center.

what advice do you tell people as they go out in community and live life? >> right. i think that overall the disease active in the united states, i can relate that we need to travel because we've been cooped up, i've been cooped up since march 2020 at this point. so the cdc has released great recommendations for domestic and international travel. it's best to wait until you're fully vaccinated before you proceed on travel. >> there are a lot of people hesitant to get the vaccine and especially parents when it comes to their kids, pfizer is looking to get that age younger than 16. so what do you say to the people who are hesitant to get vaccine, adults and parents hesitant to have their kids get the vaccine. >> with the pediatric immunization question i am very excited that the vac enso, the pfizer vaccine will soon get approved for the 12 to 16-year-old population. firstly because we are seeing

outbreaks in populations related to school sports especially michigan and other parts of the country, and vaccinating children will allow them to safely engage in school activity and sports. the second thing is they need peer support and the lack of peer support causes anxiety, causing depression, causes poor engagement for performance and we can safely remedy it by vaccinating. >> thank you so much for giving us your medical expertise in this situation. >> thank you so much for having me. a reported reprieve for outgoing san francisco high school seniors stuck at home, distance learning in their final year. according to "the chronicle" we will they'll have a chance to return to campus friday for the final few weeks before graduation. the teachers union approved the plan over the weekend, enough teachers agreed to help resume

violent in mexico, where many young people have been reported missing. new developments in the investigation of a shooting at times square in new york city on saturday. police identified a person of interest in that shooting that injured three bystanders including a 4-year-old girl. video of the girl carried by a police officer to safety went viral over the weekend. police say farakan mohamed tried to shoot his brother after an argument and instead hit innocent people. the victims are recovering, none receiving life-threatening injuries. police are searching for the suspect. the white house says long haul truckers can stay on the road longer if they're hauling fuel. >> scott mcgrew this one of the actions they're taking after a cyber attack on a pipeline over the weekend. >> the pipeline marcus called the colonial pipeline is still shut down, it's the largest in america. it moves millions of gallons of gas and jet fuel between texas

and the east coast, and the worry is a long shutdown could send gas prices spiking. there's not a lot any president can do about gas prices directly, he or she can increase supply and one way is softening the rules on how long truckers can stay on the road and the department of transportation has done that. the u.s. could use ships to move gas from texas to the east coast but there aren't that many u.s. flagged tankers and the law says ships that move between american ports have to be american. the president could waive that as well. most people are familiar with the emergency stockpile the white house could tap that emergency reserve, and the epa could waive some of the formulation rules making it easier to move gasoline refined in one state to be used in a different state. but for right now, gas prices do seem fairly stable in the middle of this crisis, the pipeline could open up soon. we'll talk more about gas prices and where they may go as we talk

business in about a half an hour. president biden scheduled to speak about the economy later today, and this week will meet with gop leaders to try to hammer out a deal on infrastructure, meeting with kevin mccarthy and mitch mcconnell. mcconnell saying the president isn't bipartisan but said it's his job to stop anything the president tries to do. mccarthy in the middle says he's in favor of removing fellow republican liz cheney from her leadership post after she said president trump was lying when he said the election was stolen. other republicans say people in their party shouldn't have to agree with everything trump says especially if it's not true. >> i think they're concerned about retaliation from the president. they're concerned about being attacked within the party, and you know, it bothers me that you have to swear fealty to the dear leader or you get kicked out of the party. it doesn't make any sense.

>> reporter: there will also be hearings this morning in the house on the attack on the capitol. we'll talk about those on twitter, find me there, i'm @scottmcgrew. >> thanks, scott. the newest state population numbers show a dip in butte county but more people are returning to paradise after the devastating camp fire. the state department of finance friday issued a population data from 2020. the overall population dropped 11% in butte county but in paradise jumped from 4,600 at the start of the year to 6,000 by the end of the year. before the fire, the population in paradise was about 27,000. take a look at this, talk about a strange discovery, a man was walking in southern california coming across this bizarre find on friday morning. it's called a pacific football fish, the man found it washed ashore in newport beach, one of 3,000 living species of angler fish from around the world.

the fish itself is not rare, experts say it is extremely rare to see one this intact along a beach in southern california. i made the mistake of googling angler fish this morning and ooh, they're so scary. >> not a pretty picture. this morning -- yes. this morning -- stay out of the water. the remains of a 20-ton chinese rocket have made their way back to earth. we don't know however exactly where. video appears to be showing it passing over the middle east. china claims most of what survived re-entry hit the indian ocean near maldives island but u.s. space command has not confirmed that. a harvard scientist called china's policy on space debris reckless. new details kentucky derby winner medina spirit has failed a post drug test. its hall of fame trainer bob baffert indefinitely suspended

>> yes. not my favorite. here we go for you this morning, it is 5:51, we have it talk to meteorologist kari hall, you've been talking about t kari, the red flag warning still sticking around. >> yes, could you probably just cook a pizza out on the sidewalk today in the inland valleys. it's going to be hot once again, and we do have the concern of the fire danger that continues due to the hot and dry conditions we've had, and those winds picking up. so the red flag warning means the high fire danger for all of these areas shaded in red, that has been extended through tomorrow evening, as a result of these conditions. let's get a look at our wind speed forecast. we'll go through 1:00 this afternoon and we're seeing the wind direction coming from the north, wind speeds at about 20 miles per hour in parts of the north bay. elsewhere it's about 10 to 15 miles per hour at times, and then we're still looking at some of those northerly winds coming in later this evening, while along the coast, we start to see the wind direction turning more

westerly, which increases the humidity and helps cool things off but that doesn't happen until tonight. we still have a northerly wind from parts of the north bay and parts of the inland east bay where that ocean breeze doesn't make it that far inland. then we look at the relative humidity numbers, look at livermore, concord, napa, santa rosa, single-digit relative humidity, so with those conditions, those fires that do start, could spread very quickly and our temperatures heading into the low to mid-90s in some of those spots from the north bay to the tri-valley, over toward the delta, into the south county, where we will see some upper 80s, as we go through the week, that high pressure will be moving on, making way for a quick moving low pressure system that's going to help cool us off but may ultimately pick up some more gusty winds headed into the weekend. we have a lot of changes on the way in terms of our temperatures, but no rain chances still. we're in the 90s today and tomorrow for some of our hottest spots inland and by the end of

the week reach into the low 80s. the weekend is looking nice with mid-70s and san francisco will come out of those 70s into the 60s from thursday into the weekend. mike, you've been watching some breaking news, what is the update? >> yes, kari. no update on the opening time for el ka miyo real, closed for folks joining us a deadly crash that happened in redwood city, el camino is closed, the divided roadway is closed for state route 82 between roosevelt and maple. kris sanchez covers the scene at lincoln as they had a deadly crash overnight. that's the major surface street. the freeway just south of there, south 101 through palo alto one lane is blocked and the00truck on scene as a disabled big rig there, we see slowing at that scene approaching the san antonio exit. it may be affecting the exit so just be careful out there if that is where you're getting off. they'll let you know if you can use it. the rest of the freeways look typical. the bay bridge toll plaza is seeing slowing as you approach

working towards that goal. republican candidate for governor caitlyn jenner supports a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants but also says president biden's handling of the border crisis pushed her into california's race to unseat governor newsom. jenner made that comment on cnn calling the majority of undocumented immigrants wonderful people and model citizens. she wants deportations focusing only on those with criminal records or gang ties. new reason for optimism when it comes to a rebound in san francisco's travel industry, insiders are talking about recent growth with more of the city starting to reopen. >> in a typical year, we would run about 85% occupation in the hotels. last year, we ran 27% and when we started this year, we were running in a below 20% in the first couple of months when the city was completely closed. over the last couple of months occupancy has started to grow so

we were at about 36% i think occupancy in april, and up to just over 40%, excuse me in march, and up to just over 40% in april. >> but tourism is still a long way from where it needs to be. many believe until international travel starts to return, it will be hard for a sustained rebound. but leaders say the return of in-person sports and upcoming music festivals will likely help. right now at 6:00, breaking news on the peninsula, all lanes of el camino real in the heart of redwood city shut down after a person is found dead on the roadway. at this hour, detectives are sifting through the clues to find answers and we are there, live with a report from the scene just seconds away. the third hour of "today in the bay" continues right now. good monday morning. thanks for joining us. i'm marcus washington. >> and i'm laura garcia. let's get to "today in the bay's" kris sanchez in redwood city this morning for the breaking news we're covering.
