prices. so right now, the national average is 3.16, a gallon. but california typically leads the pack. the statewide average. now for 84. and as we've seen time and time again as summer approaches, gas prices guys will likely continue to climb. back to you. all right. thank you, joey. >> join our fight to protect your access to affordable right? >> still ahead on the kron, 4 morning news changes could be coming to the cost of your next uber ride. we'll see how the company leaders are pushing against state and a driver caught on campus. camera look at this driving recklessly. this is an east bay neighborhood. >> the man who shot this video shares his frustrations. plus, we're following the devastating fires in los angeles. and some residents in moraga now want the city to look at their fire evacuation >> this morning is a little bit chilly out there. that's for sure. colder than yesterday for some of us

afternoon and even less fog in the north bay than we did yesterday, too. now some of these clear skies does add up to a slightly cooler morning livermore and dublin down in the upper 30's. same up in solano county. most of us in the 40's right now. now as we roll into the afternoon, temperatures will continue to rise little quicker because of that sunshine and already by noontime. we'll be right around 60 degrees for a lot of areas right now. all right, john, thank you for let's get you moving out. there's traffic starts to pick up a lot of people. >> had yesterday off but there and back to work and school today, the 90 minute ride into the city. no accidents on a ridge. is this a good news? 15 minutes on the san mateo bridge wire richmond center fell 13 and that golden gate bridge about 20 minutes to nice to have drier conditions this week. gary james, back to you. thanks. a lot of rain. a 6.31, of the breaking news we just found out. there's a heavy police presence in concord in a neighborhood willow pass road and the tomah drive. yeah. fact, we've got kron four's will tran there in concord with a look at the scene and hopefully an explanation of what's going on

neighbors are getting up. there are allowed to leave their home and get in their cars and then drive away. try to talk to a few neighbors. but they say they didn't hear anything. not surprising, especially at a time when they were probably asleep or they just don't want to talk. but it looks like they are not going anywhere anytime soon. the fact that we don't see any coroner's office here or an ambulance is a good sign that perhaps could be injury but not a fatality. i'll try to find out more information. but as you can clearly see, this is not toma. and the crossroad is willow pass and this section of no trauma has been shut down as it as it is a crime scene investigation. back to you. okay. thanks for the update. well, all right. time now is 06:33am. following the devastating fires in los angeles. some raga residents now want the town council to study wildfire evacuation routes. >> to better prepare for the future. the organization called safe baraga filed a lawsuit against the town

costs and they want to see california do the same. >> you can have very robust coverage, which is we think a requirement right, right for without burdening the system unnecessarily in creating cost that all consumers that have to pay. >> yeah. ober's alleging personal injury attorneys know about their high insurance requirements and are targeting rideshare companies with frivolous claims. they say costs from those suits are shouldered by both consumers and drivers. >> 6.36, right now and be a star. jalen wells is joining the growing opposition to sonoma state university's plan. >> to eliminate all athletics wells played 2 seasons at sonoma state from 2021. to 23. >> after taking part in the nba all-star weekend in the bay area. over the weekend, he was back at his alma mater yesterday, recalling how sonoma state was one of the few schools that offered him the chance to play college basketball. he said he's concerned at this. these cuts go through other young

athletes won't get the opportunities that he was afford. it. >> i mean, i bet you kids and run a park that come to these games and, you know, they they enjoy it. it makes them want to play these sports things like that. so i think a lot of it is bigger than sports. i think we're not realizing how much of the impact that sonoma state sports actually has on the community. >> in addition to scrapping sports to make ends meet sonoma state also plans to end 20 degree programs and lay off faculty, a group that's called save seawalls athletics has filed a civil rights complaint with the u.s. department of education, challenging the cuts. >> i get see yeah. shot of a lifetime for this teenager from east bay. yesterday morning we told you about jaron that path for children
