we'll find out more and the closure was there for a long time. we do have some reaction for people who are stuck in that. that's coming up. let's move along and take a look at the southbound 680 freeway that traffic looks good. 6:01, let's go back to the desk. >> thank you, sal. >> we're still following the developing news in oakland. we have been telling about a police stand off in oakland. it is over now and the police have not found the man they were looking for. we also just found out as you're looking at these live pictures, they have just reopened a portion of the sowndbound side of interstate 880. it has reopened. the chp tells us they pulled over a van earlier this morning. the driver refused to get out. they're now trying to figure out if the driver may still be in the van and who he mite be. that part of the investigation is still going on. ktvu is there on the scene and he'll have more details later. now, ktvu has talked to some of

the driver whose have been stuck in all of that traffic. so what are they saying, alley? >> about 3:45, we got stuck in the traffic jam as well. we're on our way to a completely different story, but we ended up getting stuck with even else. in the last five minutes, the chp has reopened the southbound lanes of 880 and you can see these drivers are definitely in a hurry to get going after that two-hour traffic jam. as we show you the other side of the freeway, though, it appears the northbound section of 880, and that is still shut down. i have been told by my colleague that this situation that led to this shut down to begin with has been ended, but we don't know yet exactly why the northbound lanes of 880 are still closed down. earlier this morning during the traffic jam, we had a chance to talk to some of the drivers about what they thought about this whole mess.

they said even though they knew this was a public safety issue, this shut down was still a big inconvenience. >> and that is a good thing they stopped us from going through there because if somebody is armed, you don't want to be in their way trying to shoot you. and i decided to wait. >> and for public safety, you have to do something. but it just -- it is annoying. and those two drivers are now well on their way. they were stuck on the southbound side of 880. as you can see, traffic is moving just as normal on that side of the freeway. northbound traffic still appears to be shut down. we don't know why. we don't know how much longer traffic is going to be shut down on the northbound side. at least if you're heading south on 80, and we're on the exit in oakland, if you're going south from here, you shouldn't have any problems. ktvu channel 2 news. president obama is waking

mess. a good news-bad news at this point, behind me at the coliseum, you can see 880 flowing in both directions freely, the bad news is the person they suspected of stealing a vehicle is out here somewhere. the chp says if you see somebody suspicious, somebody who might have been involved in this stolen vehicle theft, the freeway shut down, please call them. this all started around 3:45 this morning. at least that's when we got to this point in the freeway. chp said some of its officers spotted this van on highway 880 at around 3:30. they determined it was stolen. they attempted to pull the driver over. the driver didn't stop. a chase began and ended here when the van got to -- hit the center divide here. now, after trying to talk to the person in the van, the oakland police s.w.a.t. team was called out here because they thought that -- the chp thought they might have a conflict on their hands. when they finally did get to look inside the van, no one was inside. >> our officers attempted to

arrest and determine who was driving that vehicle. at some point unbeknownst to the officer, the person actually got out of the vehicle, but because the vehicle was reported stolen, we followed standard protocol which is very slow approach to find out who is inside the vehicle. >> again, nobody was inside the vehicle, so you had a lot of people out here on the freeway just parked, and it was little real a parking lot for a while even though nobody was inside. the chp officers actually used some non-lethal weapons on the van to see if they could talk to the person inside. that wasn't necessary as the person inside was gone. reporting live in oakland, ktvu channel 2 news. both sides of interstate 80 were backed up for hours during that stand off. many drivers who were stuck in the mess with no way of getting off the freeway. >> and they have to do what they have to do, but i wish they blocked it back further so i could have turned off. >> again, both sides of the
