be inspired by our words. stop wasting your life sitting around not doing cocaine! now at 11:00 an unthinkable loss for families in the east bay. somewhat we know about the fiery crash involving a tesla cybertruck that claimed the lives of three young people. >> this is horrible. they all

have wonderful families. this shouldn't happen to any kid. plus, a new program is meant to get more families into shelter beds. >> all you want to do is be able to provide and protect the person and the people that you care for, especially when it's a child. >> why some say it could instead leave more people out on the street. and we'll share where families can get a hot thanksgiving meal for free all across the bay area. from kpix, this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. >> hello, i'm sara donchey, the day before thanksgiving is usually about families making their way to each other to celebrate a day off together, but something happened very early this morning that will not only mar the holiday for multiple bay area families, it will undoubtedly change the course of their lives forever. around 3:00 this morning a group of four people was driving in piedmont when police say their cybertruck smashed into a wall and burst into

flames. three of the people in that car died. community members tell us they were recent graduates of a local high school. the crash happened on hampton road and king avenue next to crocker park. that is also where family, friends, and community members have been stopping by to pay respects. >> reporter: the close knit community of piedmont is reeling after a fiery crash left three young people dead and one injured. police have not revealed identities of the victims, but haley adams a teacher in piedmont, says she knew all four of those involved in the crash. >> as a teacher, you wish them well in college, and you just, you like hug them good-bye and you don't think about this happening when they're home. you know, when they're safe and they're home and they're back with our people. >> reporter: adams came to pay her respects at this small memorial that's been growing at the site of the crash. classmate, family members, and even neighbors dropped off flower, candles, and even high

school ger cease. adams says one of the victims was on the lacrosse team and another was the big man on campus. >> kids at the pep rallies, the kids who were really involved in lots of things. smart kids, really smart kids. and just their, like, infectiousness with that. they're really personable. >> reporter: police responded after an iphone alert around 3:00 wednesday morning. authorities found the car up in flames. someone who was driving behind the cybertruck managed to pull one of the passengers out of the car. that person is still in critical condition. >> the highway patrol came to assist the piedmont police in the investigation. >> reporter: adams says the news of this crash will continue to devin state the community for decades, but she really wants people to remember the victims for who they were. one drove a jeep and had an infectious smile that caught everyone's attention. >> the quintessential american

boy, blond, blond hair, big smile, jock, like tough guy, and he just skiend of was like a golden retriever of just like happiness, just a kid who was funny and personable and a great leader. >> reporter: adams is connecting with people who may have known the victims to host a memorial and hopefully bring peace to the community. she says this event will be a dark period in piedmont history for years to come. >> we're going to -- we're going to feel them, their presence, and want to honor them for many, many years. really powerful, important kids that we will miss. a 21-year-old was arrested for a dui crash that killed two people in san francisco. police say the crash happened early monday morning at grafton and jules avenue in the ingleside neighborhood. two women died at the scene. two people in another car were taken to the hospital after that crash. the driver, 21-year-old jaden elliot patrick, was charged with vehicular manslaughter.

other drivers are being reminded to slow down and be extra cautious ahead of the holiday. chp is beginning its maximum enforcement period. aaa says they're expecting the busiest thanksgiving season ever on the road in california more than 10 million drivers are expected to hit the road and across the country more than 71 million drivers are expected to travel 50 miles or more for this holiday. that is about -- rise from last year's numbers. and at bay area airports it's probably going to be pretty busy. nearly 2 million people expected to pass through sfo and oakland. fortunately, though, paul, when we sent our reporters there yesterday, things were, i would say, relatively calm. not calm. >> right, it's not calm. >> not calm. >> but it's tolerable. >> yeah, tolerable. >> i think that's what most people are hoping for for thanksgiving travel. >> and weather. >> a lot of people are traveling on the holiday itself tomorrow. no problems locally. good news there. if you're going to the airport, though,

to travel somewhere across the country, you might run into problems elsewhere. today the big problem was in denver. over 600 nights delayed by snow that fell this morning. now that storm system has been pushing farther to the east, and it's developing into a headache in the northeastern u.s. this is going to turn into a full-fledged nor'easter type storm, not necessarily the blizzard conditions we associate with that word, but the rain/snow line is to the north of the major travel hubs in the eastern u.s., boston, new york, philadelphia. but there's enough rain and wind to lead to delays for those travel hubs. farther to the south on the warm side of the system there's a line of thunderstorms that's marching through alabama and mississippi. that's going to skobt to make its way farther and farther to the east. and that is going to lead to the threat of severe thunderstorms for charlotte and for atlanta. american and delta hubs respectively. so be prepared for delays. around here, again, if you're staying local, things are looking just find. thanksgiving weekend forecast for the bay area coming up in a few minutes. >> thank you so much for that.

cities across the bay area have struggled for a long time to find enough shelter beds for people living on the streets. that becomes even more urgent as temperatures drop this time of year. the latest count in san francisco shows more than 8,300 people living on the street, more than 400 of them are thought to be families. the city has a new policy that limits who is eligible for shelter beds and limits how long people can stay in them. the rules are meant to help more families access shelter, but as max darrow shows us, some advocates say it will only push more of them out on to the street. >> reporter: the city's department of homelessness and supportive housing sees these changes as positive reform, however, some homeless advocates believe this will mean more families will end up living on san francisco streets. when you look at this photo you see two sisters smiling. but what you don't see is the reality that yazmin

and her little sister were living through. >> i feel like people have a perception of what homelessness looks like. and everybody who's going through it has their own unique story. >> reporter: in the blink of an eye in 2022 their family's world turned upside down. >> we jumped from shelter to shelter, two or three, a few couch, and we finally got housing in san francisco a year later. >> reporter: having lived through homelessness herself, she calls a new policy put forth by the city's department of homelessness and supportive housing heartbreaking. >> all you want to do is be able to provide and protect the person and the people that you care for. especially when it's a child. >> reporter: the hsh policy will put a stricter limit in place for how long homeless families can stay in shelters, and it will also tighten eligibility for who gets priority. a department spokesperson called sfamly homelessness a crisis in the city and told us these reforms are intended to ensure that our family homelessness response system is more efficient and better able to meet the needs

of families in our community. the idea is to have beds available for families with the most pressing need, such as those currently on the street or living in a vehicle. right now families can stay in a temporary shelter for 90 days, but the city's policy allows for 30-day extensions for a total of up to nine months. under the new hsh policy, families will only be able to stay in a shelt fer 90 days plus up to three 30-day extenses based on an individual family's circumstance and families will lose eligibility for extensions if they decline three permanent housing offers. >> three months is not adequate time to get resources you need to get back on your feet. >> we should be moving in the other direction. there was a 98% increase in family homelessness between 2022 and 2024. >> reporter: she believes the policy change stems from a bigger issue beyond h sh. >> and i just think it's fundamentally unacceptable that we are not resourcing this

problem to scale. they are doing their best with very limited resources, and we need more resources. >> reporter: hsh says they worked with family providers and people with lived experiences of homelessness to develop these reforms. >> providers want flow. we want families into a shelter for a short stay, permanent housing solutions. what's happening is a family is going to flow from shelter back on to the street. >> reporter: williams and her sister are now in a permanent living situation, however, she fears this will make it harder for families living through what hers did to make it through. >> there came a point toward the end of our stay in the shelter where i started to give up hope, and we finally got housing. so i don't know where i would have been if i only had three months. >> reporter: hsh plans to put the new policies into effect on tuesday, december 10th. >> so the city has already begun its annual interfaith winter shelter program,

providing extra beds and meals for people who need it this holiday season. it will continue through the end of march. getting called into work on your day off sounds to a lot of us like bad luck, except for one woman who says that helped turn her into an overnight millionaire. >> that amount of money would really change a lot of people's lives. and then turkeys can't fly, or can they? where dozens descended from the skies in the bay area.

thanksgiving dropped in a day early in san carlos. the hiller aviation museum held its annual turkey toss. the museum says, don't worry, they're not schuking real birds out of the helicopters. they're actually tiny little stuffed turkeys. and this mob of kids rushed in to grab them as fast as they could to take them home. in pleasanton, the long-awaited costco is finally open, and people were there today to check it out. and they were eager. there was a long line of cars just to get into the parking lot. you night think people were there to do their thanksgiving shopping, but that is not the case with this family. >> they had my premier protein cake batter flavor, which is my personal favorite, and i don't usually see it at other

costcos. >> i wanted the big, like, fluffy hoodie thing that you can, like, just lounge around in. >> and believe it or not, tissue paper. they've been sold out at all the other costcos. >> what are we talking about? >> tissue paper for wrapping your presents. >> okay. add to list. some shoppers actually started camping out for the grand opening more than a week ago but were told to go home because of a permitting issue. they were told to come back this morning. last time we did a story i think one of those guy in that shot, they come from hawaii. >> right, buy some bourbon that can only be bought on the first day of costco openings. >> they should just go to your house. i'm sure you have it there. i know you have it there. >> i'm a fan of the brown water. they can't have mine, though. no, no, they have to get their own. >> special brown water. >> get in the spirit of the season, no, that's mine. let's take a look weatherwise what's in store for thanksgiving. things are looking good overall. that wet weather pattern we are in has

officially come to an end. the storm track being nudged farther to the north and just pushed to the north, actually, as we head through the weekend. there is a system that's way offshore, that's on a trajectory that's going to send -- clouds to the bay area over the weekend. no moisture being squeezed out of those clouds. beyond that the six to ten-day outlook, that is a strong trend towards drier than normal conditions. it means zero rainfall. the eight to 14-day outlook, the strongest trendy minnishing a little bit, there's hints that towards the tail end of this, the middle of the second week of december maybe the rain chances start to increase again. that is a long way down the line. we'll keep you updated as we head into the new month. right now looking outside from the mark hopkins hotel from salesforce tour, things are looking good. san francisco in the upper 40s right now. all the way down to the upper 30s in santa rosa. clear skies at the moment, but as we head through the rest of tonight, we are going to see some fog developing and trying to move in. let's take a look

at the advisories that are in effect. in u blue, that's a frost advisory for interior portions of the north bay and east bay. don't worry about that. not a big deal unless you're a plant. temperatures five degrees below normal. not a huge deal at all. however, in the central valley and solano county there is a dense fog advisory. the fog is likely not going to be a huge factor for your thanksgiving travel for the day of thanksgiving tomorrow if you're heading towards the central valley or up and down i-5. if you're heading out friday morning or saturday, the fog is going to be much more persistent through the central valley. some of that is going to spill through the delta into the interior valleys of the eeast bay. tracking that through the weekend. forecast low temperatures for tonight, which is going to be a mix of a lot of upper 30s and low 40s closer to the bay and along the coast. the colder spots in the north bay valleys dropping down into the neighborhood of freezing. just a degree above freezing in santa rosa, a degree below in petaluma. two degrees below in napa and healdsburg. chilly

temperatures but only five degrees below normal. not a huge departure from what's typical. temperatures tomorrow despite that start, they bounce back to right around what's average. low 60s in the north bay valleys. a mix of upper 50s and low 60s east of the oakland hills. 58 in antioch and concord will be the cool sports across the entire bay area. tied with half moon bay for the coolest spot on the map. 64 degrees in san jose listen the warm spot. and only a six-degree difference, once again, between the coolest and warmest locations on the map by tomorrow afternoon. that kind of lack of variation carries us through the seven-day forecast. so you're not going to see too much difference in the temperatures within our seven-day tubes here. temperatures inland do warm up a little bit. a baby warm-up first half of next week. inland temperatures in the mid-60s monday, tuesday, and wednesday. tonight's low temperatures only being five degrees below average, not a big deal, nebs week's high temperatures only five degrees above average, not a big deal. mid to low 60s around the bay. slightly cooler along the coast, a couple

degrees or so. temperatures, even for coastal community, reaching to just around or above 60 degrees. vern is just smacking things in the studio here, he is so anxious to get on tv and talk about what's coming up in sports. >> how do you know that wasn't me kicking some piece of machinery back there? >> just directional. >> yeah, i hope the viewers heard that. okay, a number of organizations are gearing up to provide community members with free thanksgiving meals tomorrow. we saw the turkey donations started flowing earlier this week at glide memorial as usual. glide will be serving breakfast and lunch tomorrow on thanksgiving. other places in san francisco where you can find a free thanksgiving meal, saint anthony's, martin's house of hospitality, and the nonprofit city team over on sixth street. it's not just in san francisco, of course, organizations and community members will be serving up meals all across the bay area. in the east bay, the east oakland collective, lake merritt united methodist church, and the oakland city team serving thanksgiving meals. if you're in the south

bay looking for a meal, san jose's sacred heart, the salvation army, and city team in san jose will be doing the same. >> all about focussing on our community. so we're going to take these 500 meals, deliver them to the community. >> tucker says thanksgiving is a day of fun but it's also important to remember the importance of serving one another. vern? >> i'm trying not to break things on this side of the room. straight ahead in sports, a broken ankle is not going to stop a 49ers cocaptain. and the warriors without the game's greatest shooter in a battle, top two teams of the western conference. now, that's something to chew on this thanksgiving eve.

depth, but obviously there is one name that comes to the top of mind when you think about the team. >> and that one name was in street clothes today, and that, possibly, it was difference tonight. no steph curry. he could only helplessly watch the warriors' worst shooting output of the young season. and they almost got away with it. curry joined steve kerr, draymond green in a spirited discussion with officials. they hosted number one oklahoma city. dubs trailed as many as 19 in the first half, and then jonathan kuminga took flight. warriors despite 35% shooting crawled back. here's kyle anderson for a fourth quarter two-point lead. their first since early in the game. dubs went over five minutes without scoring. okc. seven seconds,

dubs got an open look. andrew wiggins couldn't handle the pass cleanly. that would have tied the game. and that's how the warriors lost 105-101 and have dropped three in a row. and at 12-6, they slipped into third in the conference. nfl. 49ers news and notes. for the first time since tearing his achilles in the super bowl, linebacker dre green law. linebacker fred warner did. get this, he said he's been playing with a fractured ankle since the patriots game in september. not only has fred not missed a game, he hasn't missed a defensive snap since the injury occurred. >> it was a fracture when i sprained it. any time you fracture a bone, if you just continue to play on it, the bone's usually not going to be able to heal itself, so you know, just got to continue to just fight through. it's something i deal with every game. i get on that table before every game and get shot

up every single game just to be able to roll. but it's not an excuse. >> so you did fracture your ankle earlier this year? >> probably shouldn't get too much into it. i probably made a mistake by saying all of this. but yeah, i mean, back when i hurt it there was a bone fracture there, yeah. hockey night. eshark's machine. faceoff against the senators. san jose trailed in the third. with 7:30 left, there goes rookie will smith. he tied the game at 3-3. three minutes later ottawa struck. adam gives them the lead back. ottawa won it 4-3. they only took 11 shots in the game. baseball. nothing lasts forever. the pleasanton native played 13 of his 14 seasons with the giants. the team he grew up rooting for. he won two world series and four gold gloves. the giants say they

will honor crawford april 26th against his former manager bruce bochy and the rangers. and that'll be a nice little reunion. have a great thanksgiving, everybody. i'll be in uncle vernon's kitchen prepping a turkey. it's ready to go. >> okay, good, i've been hearing about this for a couple of days. he's very excited. >> i am. >> and a good chef a good cook shares his recipe es with the newsroom. as we get together with friends and family tomorrow, there are a lot of people looking to avoid awkward conversations. there is one topic most of us around the thanksgiving table avoid, politics. according to a cbs poll 71% of you will try to keep the conversation nice and stay away from politics this thanksgiving. hmm, the other 29%, what are you guys up to over there? one family went even further, posting on reddit that her sister insisted that every family member sign a family code of conduct before the gathering. >> is that right? like a contract? >> like a contract. he knows

about those. >> okay. >> this contract included things like a ban on controversial topics, no overlapping conversations, a smart, casual dress code, seating chart based on personality compatibility. the family couldn't come to an agreement about the list and now the dinner is off. okay, listen, come on. i can just tell you personally i would not get along with that individual. >> there is going to be 20 people in the glen/fogelman/kel ly family, and we'll be talking over each other all afternoon. >> as you should. after the break, talk about a bonus for covering someone's shift. why this california woman got called in on her day off only to walk away a millionaire.

talk about a silver lining. a southern california woman just had her life changed in a very unexpected way. when she was called into work on her day off by her manager at walmart, she reluctantly went in. but hours later she left the shift a millionaire. we have the story. >> reporter: this woman is just now coming forward to share the backstory, and it's a case of a good deed really paying off. it might even have you think twice about picking up the phone and coming into work when you really don't want to. what if you won a million dollars on a $10 scratcher? >> that amount of money would really change a lot of people's lives, you know. >> $1 million is very much

money, okay, not in this day and age, no. >> nothing like that's ever happened to me. >> reporter: but it happened to a hardworking employee at this walmart. back in september, rebecca gonzalez got called into work on her day off. it was labor day, she said, in a california lottery news release, and they only needed me for three hours. i wanted to, obviously, be home with my family because we planned a barbecue, but instead she answered that call to serve shoppers here. little did she know how valuable that unwanted shift would be. the scratcher she bought on her way out the door that night turned her into an instant millionaire. >> yeah, i mean that's cool for her. she probably deserves it so. >> reporter: gonzalez told the lottery she used the winnings to pay off her debt and close on a new home. although she was not at work when we visited, we're told she plans on continuing to work at walmart. one shopper we spoke with says he understands why that could be the case. >> you know what, let me tell

you something, i retired five years ago, almost six years xishgs got bored after the first month. so i went back to work. >> reporter: gonzalez has not called us back, but word at walmart is she's been pretty quiet about this big win. she told the one manager who wanted her to stay late on that holiday. hopefully she's off for thanksgiving. >> she better be. >> i would say she better be. >> why can't this happen to me? >> you got to buy the ticket first. >> you would never hear from me again. >> uncle sam knocks at the door and says gimme. that's going to bite a little bit into it. >> you would hear from me, just from the beach. >> two words, nonextradition country. >> i work for the guy who thought he won the maryland state lottery. >> didn't? >> he's on the air reading the numbers, he's like i think i won, i think i won, took off his mic, left the set.

>> oh no. >> then he comes back and goes, i don't really have to do this, but i'll go ahead and do the sports. >> see, the thing is that would have been a better story if he was flipping people off and telling people how he really felt and then had to take it all back. >> oh man. >> yes, yes. anyway, we can all hope and dream. hopefully that woman has a nice one day off, then she says she's going back to work. >> good for her. >> to each their own. would not be us. >> we will be here tomorrow. >> yes, we will be here tomorrow. happy thanksgiving. thanks for watching. the late show with stephen colbert is next. >> explosive new allegations tonight against president-elect donald trump's pick for attorney general. >> terence lee has been looking into the claims against former congre
