notice. what does that mean. it could mean that a lot of b.a.r.t. passengers are caught off guard on friday or it could be something more positive. since the unions have issued these notes in the past it could mean the sides have closer to striking a deal. both of the negotiators left the building quietly because both sides are remaining tight- lipped because of a gag order the mediator has put in place. silence is usually an indication that a deal is closer. a gag order earlier this summer didn't make a difference at the bargaining table. a 60 day cooling off period is set to end thursday night. a b.a.r.t. spokesperson explained white talks last night didn't go longer. >> there's costing issues that need to be looked at, research on both sides and so that's what we'll be doing. >> we do not want a strike. we want that to be made perfectly clear.

we understand the disruption. >> reporter: the unions do not have to give notice and said all options are still on the table. insiders tell us while both sides have agreed on pension issues there is much work to be done on wages, health care contribution, safety issues and the contract length of three versus four years. if the strike does happen b.a.r.t. says it's going to be using bus shuttles as it did earlier this summer. live from richmond i'm tara moriarty ktvu channel 2 news. >> stay with us for continuing coverage of the b.a.r.t. contract talks and you can get updates by going to our channel 2 web site ktvu.com. time now 6:37. today san carlos city leaders go before the california public utility commissions which oversees pg&e. they will talk about growing safety concerns about a natural gas pipe that runs across the city. on friday san carlos declared a state of emergency. they got a court order for pg&e to shut down that pipeline. san carlos asked for that court order after getting a copy of

jose now to tell us more about it and also show us some of the damage. good morning janine. >> reporter: good morning dave. this is one of the two poles that was knocked down. it's a speed limit sign. that's when a pickup truck slammed into it and slammed into this apartment building here on camden avenue. it also hit a gas meter you see right down there below and firefighters worried there was a leak. police tell us at about 3:40 this morning, the driver of a pickup truck was traveling northbound on camden avenue when he crashed into three parked cars and slammed into the apartment complex. no one was injured inside the apartment but the owners were not happy to find the damage done to their car. police say the driver of the truck who caused the damage told them he fell asleep at the wheel. >> he fell asleep. he said he was real tired. >> i don't know. i'm sick of my cars getting hit, i'll tell you that and the

police say it's just a problem. >> reporter: the driver of the truck was interviewed by police but not arrested. the gas to the building was shut off and inspected. we know it bent an outside line. we know a pg&e work crew was supposed to be out here after 7:00 since the gas was shut off. they are trying to find out if there were any internal leaks this side the building. there's no worry that anybody inside is going to be affected by the gas since it is shut off no. back out here -- now back out here live there is still shattered glass and debris, as well as a pole. there was also a hydrant that appears to have been knocked down as well. the good news is despite all of this damage, nobody was hurt, and the damage to the actual apartment complex seems to be minimal. reporting live from san jose, janine de la vega ktvu channel 2 news.

later today the oakland a's will battle again against the detroit tigers in game 4 of the american league division series and ktvu's sports reporter fred inglis is there in detroit where the a's could finish it today. that'd be great. good morning fred. >> reporter: good morning pam, and welcome to a very sunny detroit michigan. we're at comerica park where yesterday the a's jumped ahead into the playoff series with a 6-3 victory. as you can tell in the newspapers here, detroit free press is saying it all. we actually saw some offense yesterday in that 6-3 win. we saw three home runs by the oakland a's including brandon moss' big shot that gave them the lead for good. it was a game of excellence on pitching defense and clutch hitting for the a's. the detroit tigers in a major

slump, their big star miguel cabrera injured, playing hurt. they have to be frustrated and i think we saw it in the 9th 9th inning when brett balfour and victor martinez had expletive words exchanged. it was a lot of testosterone thrown around there. nothing was really physical. nobody got thrown out, but you can tell that this tiger's team is frustrated and grant balfour tried to explain what went on in that 9th inning. >> i look up to get the ball and the guy's staring at me so i just said to him, hey, if you got a problem with me come on out. don't just stare me down. he came out, whatever you want to call it. what are you going to do it. >> ballbalfour's balfour. he's crazy and we love him. he's going to get the job done

for us. i don't think it was a big deal. i think it's two really good ballplayers having a little discussion. >> reporter: they expect a very sunny and clear day. they call it severe clear here in michigan. the game will start at 2:07 your time. of course then this is the game that will be an opportunity for the a's to clench their first playoff series since 2006 when they did that in the first round against the minnesota twins. it would be great revenge if you will for the a's to do it here because this is where the tigers have beaten them in four games in 2006 it was the tigers who beat them in five games last year in the first round. it is a game in which the oakland a's figure that dan straley another young pitcher will be able to keep them in the game long enough to get some scoring, get some offense. the key here for the a's so far in this playoff series not so

much that they've had a lot of fan support here but that they've been able to calm the fans down here, 48,000, and you didn't hear them much at all yesterday as the a's won that one 6-3. we'll have more later in the next hour. looking forward to today's game 4. reporting live in detroit fred inglis ktvu channel 2 news. time now 6:49. let's check in now with tori campbell to see what's coming up on mornings on 2. >> good morning dave and pam. coming up in minutes another high school tempered teacher arrested for molesting a student where he works and when he's due in court. >> oakland wants to create its own gun laws, how these measures could help keep guns off the streets. there have been more than 4,000 armed robberies this year. >> a new casino in the north bay opens in less than a month, and now there's concern the new
