president obama's job bill hits home. how it could have a direct impact upon bay area firefighters. "mornings on 2" begins right now. well, good morning to you.

welcome to "mornings on 2." i'm dave clark. >> i'm tori campbell. it's wednesday, october 19th. we begin with developing news from san francisco. a big rig crash and fire is causing huge delays on both highway 101 and the bay bridge. it happened shortly after 5:00 a.m. not far from the ups building. tear you are forry artie -- tara moriarty is live. what's the situation now? >> reporter: you might want to rethink your -- rethink your morning commute if you need to come this way. this stretch is closed until about noon. we're right now meira po saw -- mariposa street. right now, let's take a look at this video that we just got in. it shows a man with a bandage on his head being led anay handcuffs. he was -- away in handcuffs. he was not involved in the car accident itself. we're told he got into a fight

with someone on the freeway. it all unfolded about two hours ago at 5:00 a.m., when a cement truck jackknifed igniting a fire call from the -- fireball from the cab. flames were going strong when firefighters arrived. three other cars were involved. the trucks carrying cement spilled. the big problem was the diesel that leaked. so crews were busy cleaning that up. now, a firefighter on the scene told us one person received injuries. we believe he's the truck driver. two others received -- received minor injuries, including a woman. the chp will be arriving shortly. we'll eight get an update from him. but traffic affected on 101 between the bay bridge and ceaser chavez. it won't open back up again until moon. they actually have to upright the truck and check the integrity of the freeway. you can see where all of that

debris is. when we first arrived on the scene, a firefighter told me one of the trucks had hit a guardrail. again, back out here, you can see that the -- that the roadway underneath the overpass is shut off. it's a really small section. it shouldn't affect traffic on these city streets. live in san francisco, i'm tara moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. right now, let's check in with sal castanedo how you can deviate, get around this mess. sal? >> tara, this morning, one of the ways to get out of san francisco would be to use the 280 extension to get yourself down to 101. if you are on the other side of town, you can go to 19th avenue. just leave the city that way. now, the traffic on the bay bridge is being slowed and you can see here on the incline section area, you can see traffic is okay. but at the toll plaza, we have a big backup. the metering lights are slowing cars down. so if you drive into san francisco today, there will -- there will be a big backup at

the toll plaza. b.a.r.t. is running on time, by the way. san mateo bridge, let's say you want to cross the bay. san mateo bridge traffic looks good heading out to 101. more traffic in a few. in oakland, this is day 10 of the occupy protest outside oakland city hall. but any could be wearing out their -- but they could be wearing out their welcome there. claudine wong is joining us live. what's going on, claudine? >> reporter: well, dave, the last time we checked in with you, it was getting a little tense. as you can see, occupy oakland protest, we have the folks standing to the side. there are a few issues out here that we've seen. one they are not super happy about cameras. they don't want them in their protest. they don't people in front of the camera talking. they don't have one person who speaks for this movement and that is an issue. not only are cameras but who is

going to speak for "occupy oakland." >> you know i'm right. put the camera on him. you know i'm right. you in it for whose -- business. you -- what -- what are you gaining from this interview? >> nothing. >> this is 4:00 in the morning. only security is walking. whose side are you on? i'm right. you are wrong. >> careful, careful. >> you are wrong. >> reporter: back live out here at "occupy oakland." that confrontation happened when a man came over and said he was staying in "occupy

oakland." he does not speak for the movement. several people have been talking to us saying he doesn't speak to them. however, when you ask them who dots speak for them -- who does speak for them, they say we don't have any one person. the conversation is still going on about whether he is going to come back because he doesn't feel welcomed here. as far as conditions, the city sent out a -- sent out a letter yesterday, about power, rodents. all of those things. again, they do not want our cameras inside this protest, so it's haven't -- it's been very hard to determine if conditions are a problem. they maintain they are doing a lot of good things. they are having good meetings within that group about what this movement is about, justice and equally and -- equality and

what they are saying bringing fairness to the world. i did have a protesters say, look, i will take you in there, washington you through the camp, let you take a look at it for yourself. we are gonna take a look. we don't know if we can let our cameras come with us. we're gonna try to do that. we'll check back in with you coming up on "mornings on 2." claudine wong. >> thank you, claudine. today is day three of president obama's bus tour through north carolina and virginia where he's pushing hard for congress do -- for pentagon to pass his jobs bill. coming up at 7:15, we'll live report about the part of the jobs bill the president will promote today and what kind of jobs it could save here in the bay area. all right. 7:07. major traffic messes this morning. sal has all of the details. and you are checking on new stuff, right? >> i'm still seeing if the rest of the bay area is still holding together.

we've been covering the san francisco thing and we're gonna show you the 101 freeway that's shut down. now that it's becoming a little more light you can actually see -- you can actually see the  wreckage there of this truck and they've just told us just a few moments ago that this is gonna be out there until noon. these are pictures from "mornings on 2." you are gonna have to figure out a different way to get out of san francisco and that would be usually 280, i think that would work well for you. also using highway -- highway 1, 19th avenue getting out of the city might also work for you. let's go to the incline of the bay bridge. now, traffic on the span here looks okay but there is a big backup at the bay bridge toll plaza so if you are trying to get onto the bridge. it's gonna take you a while to get on the bridge. when you get over to that side, you will see a lot of traffic on the city streets. moving along to the rest of the commute, highway 4, pretty busy traffic here.

dog. these are 300 pound ben gal tigers that we've had to put down. when we got here, obviously, public safety was my number one concern. >> once we got here, realized the severity of the situation, we at this point started running into a problem with darkness. we again were not going to have animals running loose on this farm at night. we can document numerous animals that got over the fence, were out in the wooded areas, outside of the property that we've had to put down, we had officers down on the interstate. today, when daytime hit, we went into the area. we've been evaluating and

getting head counts, been recovering bodies. we just had a huge tiger an adult tiger, i'm estimated 300 pounds that was very aggressive. we did get one of the -- >> you've been listening live to a press conference going on about numerous exotic animals that escaped in hope -- in ohio. the sheriff said they had to shoot and kill some animals. about 35 i've heard. i've also heard the owner was facing quite a bit of legal trouble, just gotten out of jail and authorities say he may have opened up the cages and then taken his own life. it's a precarious situation. obviously an ongoing story we'll continue to follow it. >> unbelievable. 7:14. also new this morning, a new air-and-ground offensive in

save lives. 7:24. oakland police finally investigating a bold theft that happened at an oakland pawnshop. this happened monday morning. look at these pictures. a man took off with a $2,000 gold chain. there he goes. the man said police didn't respond until his -- respond to his calls until ktvu just aired this video. police have the tape and they may be close to making an arrest. we want to check in with sal. he has a very busy ahead of you, that problem on 101 -- on 101 being closed. what we can figure out is there they -- is they are trying to make sure the integrity of the freeway is okay. southbound 101 is gonna be closed until noon. you can see with these pictures of newschopper2 that were taken moments ago.

they are getting in position to remove this wrecked truck. at first we thought this would be a tanker truck carrying diesel. it turns out it was carrying cement. but what burst into flames were the tanks of diesel that's on the cab. the truck driver was seriously injured and taken to san francisco general. 101 freeway is closed until at least noon. let's move along and take a look at our camera here in san francisco. it's weird to see 101 completely shut down this way. and unfortunately, it's gonna be that way for a bit. it looks like -- the san mateo bridge is a pretty decent alternative if you want to use the bridge. stay with ktvu. we'll continue to follow this as long as the closure is here. much cooler today. low clouds and fog came in for the coast yesterday. but inland areas were still rather harm -- rather warm. that's not the case today. temperatures could drop -- some

of the higher elevations as much as 20 degrees. inland areas will drop a good 10. 50s and 60s. temperatures really kind of stuck there. there's too much cloud cover. i think chilly lows will be the rule here for the next couple of mornings. but today after the fog burns off, if it does, and it should, it's up there around 3,000 feet now, 50, 60s 70s, even though it will be sunny. it will be breezy. and i think you will notice it will be cool tonight. we'll take that into the weekend. the morning could be a little on the cool side but a lot more sunshine and warmer. 7:27. it's another day to honor steve jobs. how this morning's memorial service could impact your shopping plans.

we still have a major freeway shut down at this hour, southbound 101 past the 80 split. in front of the u.p.s. building. you see live pictures here.

no traffic is getting true leaving sphcts on 101 heading south. this crash happened just after 5:00 a.m. ktvu's tara moriarty is on the scene right below the crash where some of the debris fell off the freeway and landed down to where tara is. tara? >> reporter: that's right. if you look dunn on the roadway, you -- down on the roadway, you can see there's chunks of cement lying in the road. if you pan to the right, you can there is a portion of a guardrail lining there. the firefighters told me this all happened when one of the -- one of them crashed into the guardrail. we're told that engineers will have to inspect this stretch of 101 to make sure it's structurally sound before they can reopen the freeway. so 101 southbound will not be back in business until noon. the accident happened at 5:00 when a cement truck jackknifed igniting a fireball from its

cab. the flames were going strong when the firefighters arrived. three other vehicles were involved. two trucks were carrying cement which spilled but the big problem was the diesel fuel. crews were busy cleaning that up. now, fire officials say one person received major injuries. we don't know if that was the truck driver or not but he was transported to sf general hospital. we do know that another woman received minor injuries. again 101 is shut down from the 80 split to cesar chavez in the southbound direction and that's obviously causing headaches for those commuters trying to make it across the bay bridge. perhaps use the san mateo bridge instead this moving to rethink your route. tara moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. 7:32. a home in oakland hills caught fire last night. firefighters are blaming what they are calling a legal
