this. thank you. you, of course, can get more information on chief jordan's resignation by going to ktvu.com. we've posted the brief statement by chief howard yesterday. a homeless man who was the victim of a hit-and-run victim of a crash last year is finally getting ready to fly to his hometown in georgia to be with his family. brian flores is live at the oakland airport where the man could be arriving any minute now, right, brian? >> reporter: that's exactly right. this is one of the stories where your family and friends really come to play in your life. good morning. we're live here at the oakland air. this is the learjet that will take a homeless hit-and-run victim back home. he's been here for the past year. now, we were expecting him to fly here from georgia. but we understand the ambulance got stuck in traffic that he's riding in. regardless, this flight will be a homecoming but also a crucial

one in terms of his recovery. we first told you about les rowe. he's a homeless man frequently seen in the north beach area. he was also very well-liked as well. in may of last year, he was hit while crossing columbus and stockton by a late model suv. that driver has not been found. since then he's been recovering going from hospital to hospital and according to caretakers, he can't even talk. he's expected to take this flight home back to columbus, georgia where he will enter another facility. this is the most rewarding job that i personally have had in aviation. we're fighting the good fight. we're doing a good thing we are. we're getting people home and to another facility where they can get better care. >> family and high school friends mainly through social media were able to raise more than $17,000 for this flight to take him to columbus, georgia. in terms of his background, it's very interesting.

this family says they don't know how they became homeless. it's being recorded that he's a college graduate and that he was a former stockbroker. he graduated from the same high school as lionel richie and. this is the flight that will take him back home. it's a learjet. when he arrives there will be a few -- there's only a few feet from the ambulance to the learjet, and they have to disattach equipment to the jet. we expect there is a rather large homecoming in georgia. back to you. >> thank you, brian. 8:37. want to check in with sal see what's happening in oakland. >> all of the traffic -- not all of it, but a good amount of traffic eventually ends up in oakland. it starts off maybe in contra costa county or in solano county. and they are all filtering down

a lot of people are on oakland coming through 880 here. you can see it's crowded. they all get to the bay bridge. right now at the bay bridge, we have a backup that's still prete meaty. 20 minutes getting on the bridge. no problems on the span. we've had a huge commute starting at 6:00. it's been this way for the entire morning. we haven't seen any signs getting better. if you are the kind of person who waits around you may have another person. there's no baseball daytime game. that's good in san francisco. that will help you. let's move to the peninsula. we had a couple of minor crashes there. the damage is done. i'm afraid. 101 at 92 is a mess. you are looking for a decent alternate. if you can stick with -- is -- if you can stick with daly city, you can use that instead of 101. let's go to steve. >> thank you. mostly cloudy, a lot of

fog. a lot of fog over there, here. not too much. it will be sunny and breezy. temperatures really cool. our big low is moving out. another low offshore that added to the mix. it probably will be with us tonight and tomorrow for drizzle. after that it looks like it will burn off much sooner. finally some 60s but a lot of 50s. we had upper 40s. along with the cloud deck and heavy-duty rain in new york city. flash flood watch is out again after yesterday's heavy rain in brooklyn and also queens and snowing up in the rockies again. denver, once again, in line from our low that gave, the light rain yesterday. that's a classic setup for them when a low comes in the four corners. 40s, 50s on the temperatures. and then a little bit warmer in southern california. they are rebounding after yesterday's system. still the western edge dragging in some clouds toward the

accidentally ran over her daughter. almost a dozen baseball players who heard the girl screaming from a nearby ball field ran over to help. they were able to pick up the car and lift it while their coach pulled the girl underneath it. >> ran off. no one was saying much. guys got around the car and everyone lifted it off. there was very little talking. the girl was rushed to the hospital. she is expected to be okay. 8:42. a rather gruesome discovery in the east bay. what stunned workers found at an oakland recycling center. also a new treat for you bay area music lovers. pam cook's coming back to tell us about the big festival that starts today. >> reporter: it's bike-to-work day. we talked to one man who bikes 40 miles round-trip each day to work. we'll tell you what he does when it rains. his answer may surprise you.
