robert handa spoke to the startled homeowner. >> reporter: we have been reporting from the accident scene. we are seeing more and more people driving by to get a look at this strange-looking scene we've been showing. as you can see, there's a series of tread marks and gouges that tell at least part of the story. but now you will hear more about how he acted once police arrived. she didn't recognize the driver of the truck that crashed onto her driveway at 7:00 this morning. all she and a neighbor saw was a vehicle had hit her tree and ended up on the driveway with wheels spinning. one leaving a pile of rubber on the pavement, the other gouging a hole on the lawn. the driver, aldon smith, was later arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol and possession of marijuana. >> the engine was working. and then when the neighbor knocked the door, woke him up,

and he turned off the engine. >> reporter: she says when police arrived, smith got out of the car and seemed friendly. and to her, he did not appear to be disoriented or drunk. >> i think he's normal. he don't fall or anything. he was like a nice guy. >> he seemed like a nice guy? >> yeah, i think so. nothing showed that he's a bad guy. >> reporter: smith posted bail and is scheduled to go to court november 4. he was booked on misdemeanor dui. according to this booking information, possession of one ounce of marijuana which is considered an infraction and usually means a fine. live in san jose, robert handa, ktvu channel 2 news. it is possible the nfl could take action against aldon smith. but he was back on the practice field today at 49ers headquarters in santa clara. harbaugh says he expects smith to play on sunday.

>> i'm disappointed. i felt like he needs to go to work, face his teammates, and, you know, soldier through it. >> this is not smith's first run-in with the law. last year, he was arrested for dui in miami and he was stabbed at a party at his house in the south bay. he's also named in a lawsuit by a man who says he was shot at a party at smith's house. >> mark, police say aldon smith was at twice the legal limit when he was arrested this morning. >> are you surprised at all that he is expected to play this weekend? >> after covering sports for about 35 years, i don't want to be cynical, but i think if he was just joe smoe, he might not be playing on sunday. but he is one of the best and i don't think there's any question that he'll be allowed to play. that's a big subject we could talk about more hours.

it really wouldn't be that big a deal if it were not for the fact that this is the third such incident that aldon smith has been involved in. you see some of the other 49ers who have had team troubles. mcdonnell in 2010. demarcus dobbs, al netter, and aldon smith with those two arrests. and that's not to forget an issue that his fellow linebacker, ahmad brooks, had. just this summer he had charges dropped after allegedly hitting a teammate over the head with a beer bottle, following a night of supposed heavy drinking. smith will most likely be allowed to play sunday, as you just heard, but the league most likely will suspend him, pending an investigation, because this is his second offense. and there are guaranteed rules to guard against that. so, you know, to me, aldon smith shouldn't walk proud around the 49er headquarters. he should be a little ashamed of his behavior.

i'm sure those folks who were just mentioned as having past problems don't want their name dragged back into it. and i think the 49ers have a problem. jim harbaugh himself had a dui- related incident back in 2005 when he was the head coach at the university of san diego. so he should know, the entire 49er organization has gotta get a wrap on this, because this is becoming a major problem. >> thanks, mark. you can join the conversation on our facebook page. we're asking viewers, do you think aldon smith should play in sunday's game against the colts? go to our facebook page and tell us what you think. and just got off the phone with mike up in north bay. he tells me they've got light showers falling up there now. the real activity is back here. that gets here tomorrow. the story right now, as your bay area weekend is here, we've got rainfall that could fall to the tune of a tenth of an inch to a quarter of an inch. and a cooler day. tomorrow is the last day of summer, and it's going to be a

running. as bart begins non-powered familiarization training with these cars, it will rely on a dozen managers it claims are certified and can train other managers to get a state-trained operator certification. >> they have to get certified. they have to pass certain tests. >> reporter: that on-the-track training cannot begin until a strike does. and it's a time-consuming process to get certified. >> it takes about a 16-week course to become a train operator. >> reporter: how will they certify bart managers to train them if there's a strike? >> a couple trains into the city -- it's really a lifeline service. >> and that's the most dangerous section of the system. what are people going to do, when they have one person who is supposed to know what's going on and that person doesn't have a clue?

>> reporter: they say most train operators could get certification but they may not be able to operate the trains until sometime in mid-february. reporting live, consumer editor tom vacar, ktvu channel 2 news. and there are now just 20 days left in the cooling off period. bart and union representatives had tried to fit in another negotiating session today, but it didn't work out. they're scheduled to meet sometime next week. two san jose boys, one of them just 11 years old, are facing serious charges tonight for allegedly shooting at cars on highway 101. the windows of at least a dozen cars were shattered wednesday by shot from a bb gun. investigators say a 15-year-old boy walked into a police station today and admitted he was responsible. he told officers an 11-year-old friend was also involved. the two boys were released to their parents. they face possible felony vandalism charges. no one was hurt by the bb gun fire. we have new video of a shooting that happened in san
