big rigs out so they can have the freeway reopened. the video we're about to show you may be disturbing to some viewers, so turn away if you think you might be offended. around 2:00 this morning a truck carrying 2500 live chickens crashed into a big rig that was parked on the shoulder because of mechanical problems. other truck drivers on the road at the time say the driver with the chicken company was swerving, and they were concerned. >> witnesses believe he was falling asleep. they tried raising him on the cd radio, were unable. and he hit the side of the truck. >> no one was hurt, except for an elderly couple driving an suv. they tried to avoid the crates but ended up in a ditch. both suffered minor injuries. originally the chp said 80 westbound wouldn't be fully open until 3:00 this afternoon. right now crews again trying to load those rigs on to trailers. so it might be a little sooner than expected.

right now we're going to check in with sal, who can tell you more about how far the backup extends. >> thank you very much. the backup is reportedly backed up for at least a mile and a half. but not that much further, as a lot of people heard about the accident and are trying to get around using surface roads. so considering the way it was, it could be a lot worse and now they've opened most of the freeway it's just the normal morning commute. let's get out to the bay bridge, which has been the real trouble spot this morning because of an earlier crash on the upper deck. the motorcycle accident, that has been removed finally. but it was there for such a long time, traffic is backed up for at least a 30-mundt delay coming into san francisco from the east bay. also this morning, we're looking at 880, some people may opt to use 880 to get to the san mateo bridge. that traffic looks pretty god on the san mateo and dumbarton bridge. if we go to the maps you can see 880 is not in that bad of shape, and also 92 looks pretty good to 101.

84 looks okay. and in the south bay, we still don't have a big backup. we have some minor ones here if there on 85 and 280 but for most part we're off to a good start. >> thank you very much. cool this morning but temperatures some 40s but lot of 50s here. low clouds not as extensive as yesterday. today we have some clear skies but a little cooler lows. another little system just moving through right to the north there. won't do much for us but keeps the fog going, onshore wind going. tori just asked me, i heard next week could be really warm, hot, maybe offshore wind? possible. possible. one forecast model is very bullish, other two are like it will just be warm. so i tend to buy it will just be warm. we'll see what happens. next week will be dry. that's for sure. no rain in the forecast. we have cool numbers, 47 sonoma, fairfax 48.

petaluma 49, kenwood 49. woodside 49. the only 40 i could find on the peninsula towards the south bay and east bay, the coolest is danville at 50. so most of these in the north bay. we'll have a little warmer weather today, low clouds and a chilly morning. and after that, the warmer weather will start to move and but more so friday than saturday, and we'll get temperatures getting back into the low 80s. san francisco only 62 yesterday. i'm going slightly warmer, 64 today. there's just too much low clouds. but after today i think things will warm up as we head into the weekend. already getting the requests for what is the weather for the cal game and stanford game? it will be fine. nice during the game but a little cool towards the fourth quarter. i'll tack that will tomorrow, so to speak. 55 livermore. there goes one system, there's another one. they're all going to seattle and portland, not here. sunny and breezy, low clouds and cool morning with some 40s and also 50s. temperatures today clear lake

up, but all that's going to do is keep us from warming up too much. so low clouds, fog, drizzle, then sunny. it will be breezy. wind tapered off but will start to pick up. 60s and 70s. mill valley, san rafael, around low 70s. santa rosa, owner park, napa, 70. fairfield 75. concord, walnut creek, danville, 70s. warmer brentwood e oakland 67 alameda, san leandro 70, san jose in there as well. little warmer santa clara valley. cupertino 73. fremont 71. and then woodside, belmont 74. menlo park, palo alto 72. 73, but still 60s on the coast. we do have some warmer weather on the way. tomorrow will be a little warmer but you'll notice it more on the weekend. we'll have more sunshine and temperatures in the low 80s. and then turning breezy but still sunny on monday. well, serious flood problems in thailand but it's hard to get

>> reporter: good morning, dave. dr. steven schaeffer is his name and he's been absolutely deadly for the prosecution. he's brought this case home for them in a way that no other witness has been able to do. he has been on the stand -- yesterday he was supposed to finish, but because there was a delay early in the day his testimony will now go into today as well. and then of course defense will have a chance to cross-examine, but he is over and over said that 17 different times dr. murray made a significant mistake in the care of michael jackson, and the prosecutor would press him even more and this same doctor, dr. steven schaeffer, continued to hammer at dr. murray. in fact, parts of the courtroom were absolutely -- everyone just captivated by this i could and his testimony. listen to part of what we heard yesterday. >> every night when michael jackson was expecting to see dr. murray with propofol, he should have said, i'm not

giving you propofol. i'm not giving you anything. you have a sleep disorder and you need to be evaluated by a sleep doctor. >> and once again that was dr. schaeffer inside the courtroom. yesterday he -- continues today. and again the cross-examination will take place today. then once that's done, the prosecution will have a chance to redirect, maybe try to bring back some more information. once again, really give this jury a sense that dr. murray made significant mistakes in his care of michael jackson. that's what the prosecution has alleged all along. then once this is completed, the plan is the defense will begin their case tomorrow, but as we know with this court case, we've talk a number of days, you never know what the plan will be because things change literally daily. so the plan is the defense will start tomorrow, and could end by the middle of next week. 15 witnesses are planned to call but they could start today. this judge really wants to keep this trial moving, so we'll get that idea once dr. schaeffer

has finished with his testimony and once against, it's been absolutely compelling testimony for the prosecution. >> adam housley live in los angeles, thank you. barbie like you have never seen her before. and the reason her new look is not going over well with everyone. plus, as nba negotiations continue, kings fans find a new way to enjoy life without professional basketball.

been allowed this close to the administration building. look at all these bullet holes in the glass. not only in the glass, but it's to the side, you see what's going on in there. there are bullet holes on the stucco, sheetrock, in addition there's a tree over here that has several bullet knolls it. you can see bullets sailed here as well. suspect in custody but not before wounding a coworker, shooting up ace house in concord and being chased by polices in el dorado county. one resident says the crescent park apartments definitely a shoot-out among coworkers. >> you can clearly hear two sets of shots, so he was shooting at somebody and they were shooting back at him. >> the supervisor taken to a hospital. police say he lived -- the building is shot up because no one else was hurt. the man accused in the crime is 50-year-old duran long. he was a security guard for this company working at the crescent park apartments. he is now in custody in el dorado county. police say duran got into an argument with his supervisor and but sent home but return a

short time later and was heavily armed. the supervisor was wounded in the shoot-out. police say just minutes earlier duran fired on a neighbor in concord. the police say he fired an ongoing dispute between duran long and a neighbor. that neighbor was home at the time. duran's fired into the house. he was home with his wife and a 9-year-old. the bullets missed those three people and they are okay. then it wasn't clear what the sequence of events was, but that happened before this. but just incredible this security company that was hired to work here was brought in after controversy surrounding one former richmond police officer and a current richmond police officer who had the contract for this housing complex. they lost the contract when they were accused of providing the police explorers working with, these are are teenagers,

volunteers of the police department, of buying guns for them and then having them patrol in this housing complex. so a couple problems with the last two security companies here. this one way more serious, but duran long is now in custody in el dorado county. kraig debro, ktvu channel 2 news. overnight, a big rig that was filled with crates containing live chickens crashed on interstate 80 in vacaville. ktvu's tara moriarity is there to tell us about how the traffic was affected and also the cloneup. >> reporter: good news for you, morning commuters. the lanes are open now. we're standing on the overpass before la do you know about valley road, westbound direction on the right-hand side of your screen there. and traffic is going very nicely. they were able to clear all of the vehicles. we're about to show you some video that may be disturbing to some viewers to turn away if you think you might be offended. around 2 this morning a truck

carrying 2500 live chickens slammed no a big rig on the shoulder because of mechanical problems. truck drivers on the road say the truck driver was chicken company was swerving. they figured he had fallen asleep so they radioed him and got no answer, then he crashed. >> when he realized he hit another vehicle, he turned his vehicle to the left, which caused a rear trailer swerve out into the lanes of traffic and spilled part of the load of the chickens. >> the driver of the truck was hit -- was standing in front of his rig when the accident happened. >> i heard it was like, bam. and then that's the only thing i saw was a lot of chickens flying all the way in the interstate. crazy. >> no one was hurt, except for an elderly couple driving an suv. they tried to avoid the crates but ended up in a ditch. both suffered minor injuries.

again, all lanes are open now, westbound i-80 so that's good news. we have had other troubled areas this morning especially in the north lanes for more on that let's check in with sal. >> good morning to you. we've had lot of slow traffic and yes, you did mention north bay crash. northbound 101 in the grade, 116, freeway is closed because of a big rig crash there. 880 north and southbound, if you're driving further south let's say going to hayward to catch the san mateo bridge, that traffic is very slow heading south from about 238. there it is, heading down the 92, some slow traffic, slows always way down to fremont. now let's gog to steve. >> thank you very much. very good morning. lot of low clouds, if you're

just waking up there weren't that many mere a couple hours ago but a light front is producing light drizzle, mist, around santa rosa. so far that's the only report. if you're getting drizzle, you can always tweet me. so today low clouds, fog. a cool morning. it will be a little warmer. more so tomorrow. patchy fog, sunny and warmer. yet the pattern everything continues north. we're not getting any rain out of this. it's a dry pattern overall except for the fog and drizzle. and the days will be a little warmer as we head into the weekend. next week could be very warm but there's no consensus on it yet. the reason geraldo that fog, you can see the gray skies out there. but that system that is going by to the north in between eureka and redding helps increase the fog and low clouds. had a lot of 40s this morning. sonoma and piner high school, 47. fairfax was 48. petaluma kenwood 49. woodside 49. coolest reading in the east bay

was danville at 50. but i think the temperatures are coming up now due to the cloud cover. and you can see why. 50s to mainly mid-50s, few upper 50s but the city at 56. and that system stays to the north except the tail end. you can see they're lined up. after friday, high pressure will build in and temperatures will go up a little bit. fog, sun, breezy. local drizzle and really cool fall-like morning. no doubt about it. and temperatures will start to rebound here, but it may take awhile. lot of low to mid-70s. 60s by the coast. kentfield 73, concord 75. 72 castro valley. martinez, crockett, benicia, vallejo, pinole, berkeley around the 60s or very low 70s. and then san jose 73. morgan hill at 77. but fremont only 71 degrees. low 70s on the peninsula, or 60s on the coast. south san francisco, it's getting late in the year for coastal fog. but it's there. little change on friday. then we have more sunshine and warmer temperatures as we go

resources to help federal authorities enforce immigration laws. immigration agents often rely on local law enforcement to help them hold suspects. san jose police recently ended their brief alliance with federal immigration agents. those agents helped reduce gang violence in san jose, but critics are claiming they were harassing innocent citizens. the family of a man shot and killed by san jose police filed a complaint alleging officer misconduct and excessive force. investigators say 32-year-old man rammed a police car before hitting two other parked cars at the parkside terrace apartments last sunday. police say two officers tried to stop him with their tasers, and the third officer opened fire when he thought the man was reaching for a gun. he was unarmed. san jose's independent police auditor will monitor the internal affairs investigation.

secretary of state hillary clinton to the early reports that moammar gaddafi had been captured. we are now waiting for reaction from the obama administration to the news that he has been killed. this was a look at some of the celebrations on the streets of tripoli. gaddafi's death means an end to the 8-month civil war and the end of a 42-year rein of terror in libya. one analyst says the day of the dictator may be coming to an end. >> we've seen the kids to now of several monstrous figures on the world's stage in recent years. of course, starting off with saddam hussein and now today with colonel gaddafi. and i think this does send a signal that dictatorsships across the world are under threat. >> gaddafi's death will also end fears that he could still threaten the new revolutionary government. it will also likely end the nato mission in libya. as for how he died, details are still sketchy. but nato has confirmed it launched airstrikes on a convoy

in his hometown of sirte where he was killed. several networks are showing video of what appears to be his bloodied bod but there will still be forensic exams to confirm it. reporting live, allison burns, ktvu channel 2 news 92 thank you. now we have great line the scenes video right now of something allison just referred to. how secretary of state hillary clinton found out this morning about the reports of the capture of moammar gaddafi. secretary clinton was in afghanistan, about to be interviewed by reporters, when one of her staff members handed her a phone apparently with a text message on it. >> wow! ha! unconfirmed, yeah. unconfirmed reports about gaddafi being captured. >> there you see it. secretary clinton was just in libya on a surprise visit on

tuesday. the latest nato offensive in afghanistan has killed at least 115 insurgents in the past week. that continuing operation is focusing on the province known as the hot wed for foreign militant fighters. nato is increasing efforts to secure that country paving the way for afghan forces to fully take over. seven american solar panel manufacturers are suing the chinese solar industry, accusing it of selling solar panels in the united states for less than it cost to make and ship them. the american companies say the chinese government gives solar panel manufacturers in china billions of dollars in subsidies. the chinese companies then sell the programs for much less than panels produced by american companies. the american companies are asking the commerce department to put tariffs on solar panels from china to level the playing field.

meantime, state treasurer bill lockyer says he still supports a california law that gives large tax breaks to alternative energy companies despite the controversial bankruptcy filing of fremont's solyndra. solyndra received a $34.5 million subsidy under the tax break. but lockyer says the law is needed as an incentive for green manufacturing jobs in california. one of the escaped animals from the ohio farm bit the farm's owner after he killed himself. that's the word this morning from the local sheriff who says an autopsy showed terry thompson had a bite wound on his head from a large cat. coming up at 8:35, we'll get more on the clean-up and reaction to the situation in a live report from ohio. our time is 8:18. just about 15 minutes from right now, volunteer nurses will be setting up a first aid station for the occupy protestors in san francisco. the group is called national

parents get more involved. but critics say changing the current system would be costly. speaking of changes, it's cloudy and cool in the bay area right now. but as we look at live pictures, steve is already telling us big changes are ahead. >> also, the effect of halloween on america's somewhat scary jobs situation. >> good morning. northbound 280 we had slow traffic in the south bay and also we have slow traffic trying to get to the south bay. also have a big problem in the north bay with a major freeway that is shut down.

the halloween season is a bit of a treat followed by what feels look a trick for some workers. stores that sell costumes and decorations hired many new employees to help them get through the halloween rush. people whose unemployment benefits run out a sights good to have any time of work to pay their bills. but most know the work is likely to last less than two months. >> it's really hard. having a real hard time but i lucked out and got a job here. even though it's seasonal, it's something. >> it's not really desperate but they have more responsibility as far as the family and i can appreciate that. >> managers say some workers will stay on the job through the christmas holiday season. and they could be hired on a permanent basis depending on how strong sales are through the end of the year.

let's go to sal, big problems in the north bay. what is going on, sal. >> we have one major side of a freeway closed for two big rig crashes in the petaluma area. it's more like rohnert park, northbound 101 at highway 116 west. that's closed off. the chp is taking traffic off the freeway so you can't get through. some of the side road are jammed so from the can tadee grade it will be very slow. as we move over to vallejo and pinole, very slow traffic heading down to a super-crowded bay bridge toll plaza. highway 4, slow traffic as well. looks like we have a problem westbound 4 near somersville as well. 680 backed up from pleasant hill down to a crash near alamo. and this is a look at the bay bridge toll ms.a. you know, it's -- been really slow because of an earlier crash. the crash gone, but the traffic is packed up big-time beyond the maze. and the morning commute in san jose is also slow on 280, and

101 and 85. steve. >> thank you. we do have a pretty good fog bank out there. it wasn't there about three or four hours ago but it's really increased. there's a weak cold front going by to the north helps enhance that low cloud deck and even produce local drizzle, mainly towards the north bay of it keeps the onshore breeze going, not much today compared to yesterday. lot of 50s here, though. cloudy, little hint of a breeze means lot of 57's here. concord, napa stuck at 57. redwood city, san francisco, had some 40s in the north bay but those have gone up due to the cloud cover coming in. you can see all those systems just driving from west to east. but we're on the tail end of that so low clouds, fog, and sup. it will be breezy but it's a chilly fall-like morning. 60s and 70s on these temps today. temperatures really just the same as yesterday. but then a little bit warmer as we head into friday. high-pressure system will then build in, send everything well north and temperatures will warm up.
