this is a major injury accident. as you can evidence by the treadmarks in the roadway. they extend for quite some distance. they are coming out to measure it. you can see where the car slammed into a tree and is crumpled in the distance, a large amount of debris in the roadway. if we look at the video we can show you that there were three people who were transported to the hospital earlier this morning here off of brotherhood way and thomas moore way. it happened shortly before 3:00 this morning. when, again, that car crashed into the tree. we're not sure if they were speeding, if they lost control or any of the details because there's an investigation team here and they've been standing around. i think they are waiting until it gets a little lighter. er in -- and they are examining the evidence. there's so much stuff in the roadway now. we don't know the extent of the injuries of the three people involved but typically in a crash like this there's major trauma and those folks would go

to the hospital. we're not sure who the driver is but again this roadway has been shut down for two hours. most likely at least two hours i'm being told. we're on the back side of lake merced and this is the route a lot of people get to get to 19th avenue and 280 southbound for the morning commute. this is going to be tied up for quite some time. i would advise actually cutting behind the mall in order to get to 19th avenue or you can also head up lake merced boulevard and cut over to john daly and get to 280 that way. those areas are typically very crowded so you'll see traffic definitely impacted this morning. live in san francisco, tara moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. more searches are planned today for morgan hill teen sierra lamar who disappeared a week ago today. the fbi is now helping after a new clue was discovered near her home.

this case. particularly, a bag of sierra's that was found earlier this week. >> yesterday we released to the media we had found her bag that she normally takes to school. books and there was clothing in it. based on her last tweet, what she was wearing and we can only see part of what she is wearing, it appears that she was wearing a top that was in that bag. >> reporter: sheriff smith says investigators know what sierra was wearing that morning because she took a picture of herself and tweeted it the morning she disappeared. that shirt appears to be the same shirt that was found folded up neatly in her bag that investigators recovered earlier this week. the shirt appears to be what they think is a san jose sharks jersey. now we have a little more information about what exactly sierra lamar may have been wearing the morning she disappeared. one more clue to go on. in the meantime, in the next live report we'll have more on what the sheriff has to say
