is it clears up almost immediately after a crash is moved. the bad news is just down the road sometimes this has a deleterious affect on the traffic. we will see what happens. this is the bay bridge toll plaza. it is backed up for a 20-minute drive time into san francisco. south bay commute is surprising me pleasantly. there is a little bit of slow traffic on 85 and 280 and 101 but it's not all that bad as you drive through. maybe they are just starting later. 680 is backed up. an earlier crash at pleasant hill on the shoulder. we have a look at some of these drive times here. you can see that 580, which is the drive time which is the longest, 580 grant line road to the 586/80 interchange 40 minutes plus. back to the desk. 7:09. a south bay man is behind bars accused of kidnapping two women and this morning we are hearing from one of the victims. ktvu's alex savage is live with

mood quickly changed. he became angry and threatened to kill her. >> i mostly couldn't believe what was happening. like it all happened so fast. i wasn't even like -- i was in shock. like i honestly thought that this guy was normal. like he's from the army, you know. like i never expected him to try to hurt me or anything. and he seemed so normal. >> reporter: and even though middlebrook seemed sincere middlebrook seemed sincere she learned she can't trust anyone. she deliberately crashed the car the two were in on a car in a freeway here in the south bay and the other driver involved in that crash then called 911 and she got away. after that freeway crash, though, mountain view police say middlebrook drove off by himself and investigators say at that point he abducted another woman. a 61-year-old and forced her to drive to a small town in the

sierra foothills. that second victim eventually managed to escape as well and police took middlebrook into custody. investigators say they are trying to figure out if there are other victims possibly connected to this case. now, coming up for you at 8:00 this morning on mornings on 2 we will tell you what that young victim did when the man accused of abducting her told her to get into the trunk of the car. live this morning in mountain view, alex savidge. time now 7:06. later today mayday marches are planned all over the bay area. thousands will march and rally in san francisco, oakland and san jose protesting for workers' rights and the rights of undocumented immigrants. ktvu's janine de la vega joining us live in the south bay. and huge mayday protests are held everyier. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, dave. some people are hesitant to talk about how they feel about immigrants being here illegally and working. others understand the struggle.

alternative i would suggest 580, which still not that bad. you are going to be waiting a little bit. i would go 580 instead of 880 at this point. let's look at the toll plaza. 25-minute drive time between the end of the line at the toll plaza and the san francisco exits. 680 still slow. we had an earlier accident in pleasant hill. highway 4 is also slow and a couple of minor incidents there. we are also looking at some of the drive times. 24 still looks good from pleasant hill to the tunnel. 238, 880 from fremont 21 minutes. then 580 westbound from grant line road holding steady at 40 minutes. a very, very good morning before we get started. not a puff, not a breath of a breeze, nothing. a little shot out to littlely. rolls off the tongue, doesn't it? she is my go to source at verizon wireless at walnut creek. i have been having issues with my phone and today is her birthday. happy birthday.

them, obviously, and they were flying out of the chimney. we were just chasing birds off for about an hour. >> the birds have returned every night about 8:00 since they first showed up last

the clippers. hopefully, during tonight's game that will change. of course, you mentioned this was a must win for the warriors. we know they will win tonight. it is game six at oracle arena. you see this is probably the guy exist exist it's going to be until tip-off at 7:30. gates will open around 5:30 and then the parking lot will open around 5:00. but as we mentioned this is a must-win for our w's. in terms of the latest, in terms of the donald sterling scandal, sometime later today a panel of nba owners will dial into a conference call to discuss the league's next move against the clippers' owner. this is the league's finance committee. this call will essentially set the date for a formal meeting with other nba owners that could take place in a couple of weeks. at this point every single owner supports commissioner adam's silver's call to sell the team. it would take three-quarters of a nba vote to force sterling to sell. but sterling, as is expected, is reportedly working on legal roadblocks to prevent that from happening. now, there is a whole host of people who have shown interest

in buying the team if it comes to that point and there are some bay area connections to talk about. we talk about oracle ceo larry ellison reportedly part of an open ship group that govs david geffen and oprah winfrey o others interested floyd mayweather jr., magic johnson, and sean p. diddy combs. tonight's game between the clippers and warriors tip-off 7:30. this is a must-win for our w's. they are down three games to two, best of seven. officials here with the team say this will be the 82nd consecutive sellout. if you do plan on coming out tonight trying to look for tickets they will not come cheap but there are some available. we are talking about $5,000 for courtside seats and $100 for standing room only. as for me i will continue working on my jump shot. that's all i got to say about that. i made one at 6:30. that's all i need. >> proud of you, brian.

welcome back. time is just about 8:43. let's bring you up to date on some of the top stories we are following now. may day protests around the country and here. thousands are expected to join marches calling for immigration preform and workers rights. marchers are planned in san jose, san francisco, and in oakland. and a man has been arrested. accused of kidnapping two south bay women, and now one of his alleged victims is talking exclusively to ktvu about the frightening ordeal. our reporter alex savidge has been on the story since 4:30 this morning. you are joining us live now to tell us how the victim says an intentional car crash may have saved her life. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning,

dave. a frightening situation certainly for this south bay woman who says she agreed to give a man a ride and wound up being held against her will. she says this man threatened to kill her and then at one point told her to get into the trunk of the car, but she managed to convince him not do that. >> if i gave him any control in any way he would take over and i would be done. like i just -- i really thought this guy was going to kill me. >> reporter: that's the 19-year-old victim, daniella alvarez. a sophomore in college. she showed us a bruise she wound up with during her struggle with the accused kidnapper in this case. everything began sunday when this man came up to her near her house in san jose and asked for a ride to his father's house in monsoon view. that man, 23-year-old kenneth middlebrook, told her he was in the army and had a suspended license and couldn't drive. she trusted him and agreed to give him a road. after they got to his father's

house his mood shifted. he became angry and started to choke her. eventually alvarez escaped by deliberately crashing into another car on the freeway and having that driver involved in the crash call 911. this young woman said she learned a hard lesson during this close call. you can't trust anyone no matter how sincere they may seem. >> i didn't think anything was going to happen. i thought i am helping this guy out and i have nothing to do. why not? and so then they obviously know that it was bad and that what i did was wrong and i should have helped someone. i know it sounds mean, but the world is not what it used to be. and, i mean, i can't help them any more. >> reporter: and even after alvarez escaped police say that middlebrook continued this string of creams. he, according to investigators, abducted another woman he came

across. a 61-year-old woman who he forced to drive out to a small town in the sierra foothills. once they got to that town police say that second kidnapping victim managed to escape and police were able to track down middlebrook and take him into custody. investigators with the mountain view police department also say this is an ongoing case and they are trying to figure out if middlebrook may have abducted any other women. live this morning in mountain view, alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. 8:46. we continue to following develop news from florida. the severe flooding along the gulf coast may be to blame for a deadly explosion at a jail in pensacola. ktvu's pam cook is in our newsroom with a clue from inmates inside the jail that something may not have been right. good morning, pam. >> reporter: good morning. two people were killed. at least 100 others were injured, including some corrections officers, when what is -- in what is being called a gas explosion. it happened at a jail in

pensacola, florida, and caused part of the escambia county jail to collapse. 600 inmates were inside at the time of the blast. all have been accounted for. those who-not injured have been relocated to nearby jails. now, as we've been reporting florida received nearby 20 inches of rain in less than two days and investigators say that may be to blame for the explosion. >> the building did receive extensive flooding as a result of the rain. i don't know if that's directly related to the incident that happened this evening or not. we'll be doing an investigation to determine that. >> reporter: now, several family members of the inmates say there were complaints of a strong odor of gas a couple of hours before the blast. one woman says a friend inside the facility told her that the county was using temporary generators to cope with power outages from the recent storm and that could be the source of the odor. now, there are reports that homes three miles away from the jail could feel that blast. reporting live in the newsroom,

welcome back. early next week federal investigators are due to release their report on last week's midair collision of two private planes over the san francisco bay. late yesterday salvage crews pulled a cessna 210 out of san pablo bay. the body of the pilot was still in that plane. on sunday afternoon the cessna collided with another plane. it was a vintage hawker sea fury. the pilot and passenger landed safely at an airport 40 minutes after the crash.

>> right now we are in the fact finding phase. so that's what we're doing. we are documenting this airport. we are document being -- documenting the sea fury. >> the two pilots were friends coming back from a weekend airshow in half moon bay. a federal investigator says the pilot of the cessna was planning to photograph the sea fury as it flew by. it's not clear if that contributed to pass. yesterday the tsa said it inspected and approved the fence line security at san jose international airport just three weeks before a santa clara teenager jumped over a fence and hid in the wheel well of a jet bound for hawaii. that may lead to security changes at airports nationwide. 8:55. san francisco police are using a new bait bike program to catch bike thieves. they are putting gps trackers
