"mornings on 2" begins right now. we are live in danville, where we've been following developing news since 4:30 this morning. a teenager was badly hurt after police say he led them on a high-speed chase. you can see the wreckage still on the side of a hill next to southbound interstate 680. coming up in two minutes, ktvu's tara moriarty will tell us what initially sparked the police pursuit. good morning. welcome to "mornings on 2." i'm tori campbell. >> good morning, tori. >> good morning. >> busy morning. i'm dave clark. let's talk about weather and traffic. and steve, a little chilly. is the coast clear? >> that's the punch line to a joke. >> i know. >> it is for marin and sonoma. for to the san mateo and the santa cruz coastline and tyler thacker, fog and low clouds

made it to gilroy. i know from san jose, santa clara valley down there. there's a good push there north. it's clear and cool. the breeze has picked up for some. had a nice message from courtney up in woodacre saying it's pretty breezy here. patchy low clouds, chilly, breezy. a lot of sun. breezy at times. not everybody but there's no doubt about it, kind of kicking up a little bit for some. san jose was clear and 48, then the fog came in. now they are 50 and mostly cloudy. some of that has made it to los gatos, blossom hill. we'll go 71 today. that's a soft 71. speaking of the low clouds, santa clara valley. parts of the peninsula, definitely the santa cruz coast which was not the case yesterday. 40s on the temperatures. it was 43 novato, santa rosa. 44, 45, low 50s, 49 in san francisco. low 50s for many others. the breeze isn't that bad but 10 at hayward, a lot of that low cloud cover areas south of san francisco.

north is mostly clear. we have the system from yesterday that gave rain to the east bay. today if you don't have the fog, it's already sunny. it will be breezy. a chilly morning. 50s and 60s. we have crowded conditions on this wednesday as we look at some of the freeways. 80 westbound from the carquinez bridge is a half-hour to the macarthur maze. when you get to the bay bridge toll plaza, there's a little bit less than a half-hour to wait, just to drive to the other side. in fact, let's take a live look at the toll plaza, i think we have -- you can see the traffic is going to be busy. perhaps we don't have the toll plaza right now. i will tell you the traffic -- there it is -- it will be a half-hour drive time from the oakland side all the way over to san francisco. so plan accordingly. unless, of course, you are using the carpool lane in which case things are better than that. as we look at the santa clara valley, it has not filled in

yet. 85 a little slow at 17. 101 a couple of patches. pretty good for wednesday in the santa clara valley. we begin with developing news. interstate 680 in danville is back open after a high-speed chase. crash caused traffic problems all night long. police say it involved a teenager in a car going 100 miles an hour. ktvu's tara moriarty covering the developing news. she was the first reporter on the scene at 4:30. tara. what's going on right now? >> reporter: a pretty dramatic crash scene investigators have been pulling the evidence markers off the hillside. we saw them take a bumper that had been wrapped around a tree. they are in the final stages of their investigation. we know that a tow truck just pulled up. now, this all started last night in concord, around 10:30 when a police sergeant was patrolling monument boulevard near highway 680. he noticed a person driving recklessly. he tried to pull the driver

over. that person sped off. reached speeds of 100 miles an hour. the suspect is 19-year-old michael holden of concord. they say he lost control on 680 southbound in danville. holden suffered major injuries, a gash to the head and was transported to the hospital in critical condition. police say that holden stole a rabbit volkswagen from someone's home in walnut creek. because holden's injuries were so severe, the multidisciplinary action investigation team is out here. the district attorney's office is part of this investigation. we'll let you know if we receive an update about the suspect's condition. but the reason there are so many investigators here is that if holden does not survive, then county and law enforcement will be prepared to handle any potential lawsuit. back out here live, you can see that the tow truck is here and they are getting ready to put the truck -- or the car, i should say, on the flat bed and take it out here.

we have one lane shut down. the street is open. just be aware of that. the freeway which was shut down a little bit earlier is completely clear. so no worries there. we're live in danville, i'm tara moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right. thank you, tara. chp investigators are still searching for answers this morning after a 17-year-old girl was killed in a crash on a narrow county road. the highway patrol says just before 8:00 last night, a honda civic hit a tree and utility pole and ended up upside down. it happened on lona road west of santa rosa. chp says it's possible the car was speeding. the girl who died was a passenger in the front seat. the driver of the car and another passenger were taken to the hospital with injuries. a marin county developer at the sent center of a federal fraud investigation is dead. the body of him was found yesterday afternoon inside his

car about 320 feet down a ravine off shoreline freeway. he was reported missing on sunday when he did not return from a drive to stinson beach. according to an indictment. he was accused of bank and wire fraud, mann laundering and conspiracy. federal investigators say he and his business partners defaulted on at least $34 million in loans made by sonoma valley bank. that bank was closed in 2010 and is also at the center of the investigation. the trial is set to begin in october. 7:07. an alameda county jury awarded more than $14 million to a woman who broke her back on an a.c. transit bus. maria francisco and her 4-year- old daughter were on the bus when it hit a speed bump in san pablo back in august of 2011. her lawyers say the bus was going twice the speed limit in a school zone. she was thrown into the air, she landed on the back of the

seat fracturing a vertebrae. she says the bus driver harassed her and accused her of lying about the injury. a.c. transit is reviewing the verdict while it decides its next move. new this morning, the only public hospital in west contra costa county is a step closer to shutting down. not enough voters approved a tax to keep it open. alex savidge is live in san pablo to explain why the last- ditch effort to save doctors medical center may have failed. >> reporter: these results are not final but it appears not enough voters are in favor of a tax to keep the doctors open. supporters call this a safety net hospital for richmond and the surrounding area and if it closes, a lot of patients would have to travel much further away just to get care. voters were asked to approve a parcel tax that would have generated $20 million follow

the hospital. the ballots were turned in last night. only 51% of voters favored the tax. the measure needs two-thirds. hospital officials said they will vote to close the facility if this tax fails. doctors medical center has long struggled to remain financially viable. voters gave the green light to two previous parcel taxes in 2004 and 2011 that kept the hospital open. the california nurses' association says if doctors closes, it would be a dire public health crisis. in a statement a spokesperson talked about the key role this hospital plays in the community. "less than two years ago a disastrous explosion and fire at the chevron refinery force more than 15,000 residents to seek hospital treatment at doctors." the cna is calling for supervisors to step in and

assume control of doctors medical center in order to keep the doors open. it remains to be seen whether that will happen. we're working to talk with patients and employees here at doctors medical center to last night's election results. we'll have that part of the story later on "mornings on 2." we're live this morning in san pablo. alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you. 7:10. a new director has been named to lead the troubled veterans affairs benefits office. many wounded vets say they've waited many months if not years to receive benefits. the new director is the director at the seattle office. the current wait time to process a claim in oakland is 280 days. that compares with a 182-day wait in seat. the backlog of claims is adding to the pressure of eric shinseki. several senators and the

american legion are demanding that he step down. a cnn report shows some vets have died while waiting for care at va hospitals across the country. some critics want to overhaul the agency but the cabinet secretary says he's committed to assisting all of the men and women injured in battle. 7:11. we have a bizarre story. for the second time this morning, a cow is on the loose near an elk grove shopping center near sacramento. here's new video from the first time this cow got loose. i'll not making this up. it was spotted at 4:00 a.m. by a chp officer patrolling the area near east stockton and elk grove. at one point, the cow charged at a man trying to scare it away with a broom. after about an hour, the police and ranchers were able to corral it. about 20 minutes ago, we found out the cow escaped again. it is wandering around some

nearby homes. we're not sure where the cow came from or who it belongs to. >> that's a very odd story. >> that is. another odd anmillion- related story, a mountain lion wandering the streets of mountain view. coming up in 20 minutes, the tense situation in a residential neighborhood and what is going to happen to the big cat now. there you see it. how many weapons are enough? >> the big detate and the decision to give berkeley police a tool many other officers have have -- already have. well, some fog has come back. pretty good push. it was mainly clear a couple of hours ago. to the north it's clear but the fog will impact temperatures to the south. we'll show you those coming up.

7:14. new video shows what happened when a teenaged stowaway got off a plane in maui after surviving a freezing five and a half hour flight from san jose. look closely at the center left of your screen. right next to the engine. you can see it there as we zoom in a little bit. you can see two legs dangling from the wheel well of the jetliner. those are the legs of the 15- year-old. the teenager drops to the ground. the santa clara boy later emerges. appears to be wobbly as he makes his way to the front of the plane. still, there's no sign of any airport security officers around him at this point. san jose police plan to interview the teenaged stowaway very soon. the 15-year-old flew back to the bay area over the weekend. he's now in the care of santa clara county child protective services. 7:15. this morning the city of berkeley moving ahead with a plan to give tasers to police

officers. it's something the police officers are pushing for. >> i would ask my partners how many would rather tase someone if given the option than shoot and kill them. >> okay. now the decision followed a heated debate at last night's city council meeting. in the audience was a berkeley police officer who was beaten and knocked unconscious last month by a man who tried to get his gun. he said a taser could have protected hill. >> he knocked me unconscious and during that period tried to get my firearm which he had been doing earlier in the struggle as well. >> what tasers are used in place of are batons or fists or this kind of physical hands-on stuff. but sometimes tasers kill people. >> the city council will decide whether to issue the tasers after the report is issued in

september. the world's most well-known intern, monica lewinsky, is breaking her silence about her affair with president clinton nearly 20 years after it happened. clinton -- rather, monica lewinsky who is now 40 is writing about the relationship in an upcoming issue of vanity fair. in it, she said the affair was consensual. but she feels as her boss, clinton took advantage of her. she calls herself the scapegoat and wants to speak out on behalf of other victims about online humiliation. this comes ahead of hillary clinton's possible campaign for presidency in 2016. >> all right, tori. 7:17. let's get you to where you need to go. sal, you are watching 680, the tacoma, every place -- the toll plaza, every place. >> yes, i am. it's been slow in some areas. i will explain. i will sort it out for you. let's take a look at what we

have. first of all, with 680 nearby the freeway, this police chase that ended last night in a crash near elpintata, this car looks like it's about to be towed away. our reporter was on the scene. this was at 4:30. for a while, they had lanes on 680 closed. now the lanes are open. down below there's investigation going on. it looks like they may be getting ready to tow this car away. we'll have a live report telling you what happened in just a bit. let's take a look at the bay bridge. you can see traffic here is backed up. your drive time, 30 minutes plus into san francisco and that means you will be waiting at the toll plaza and then we also calculate the time across the bridge for you. because we're good that way. northbound 85, slow traffic approaching 17. 280 and 101. what we haven't seen a lot is crashes or stalled vehicles in the south bay this morning. so right now, at least you have that bright spot. it's 7:18.

let's go to steve. >> good morning. we have low clouds. they are from san francisco coast. santa cruz, marin, sonoma. what fog? mostly clear. it's cool this morning. no doubt about it. the system yesterday which brought may snow to the sierra has moved off into the four corners. water temperatures have really changed. they were about 53 to 57 less than a week ago. now they are 49 to 53. with inland temperatures not that warm, it's impressive that the fog has picked up like this. don't see that very often. we have it this morning for some. fog, sun, clouds. mostly sunny and then breezy. 50s, 60s and 70s. there's a little breeze for some. if you have the breeze, it can feel cold. san francisco starting off 49. 59 at noon. a high today of 65. inner richmond, outer richmond will be warmer than that. the low clouds made it all the way to gilroy. san jose started to clear. low clouds have moved in there and really packed along the

santa cruz coast and parts of the san mateo coast. concord, fairfield, livermore it is in there. san francisco was 49. now 50. half moon bay, 50 with low cloud deck around el granada. in between. so high pressure gives us a weak pattern. there is a lot of fog and it will be ramped up and rarin' to go. it will give us a lot of clouds. 46 in ukiah. 51 in sacramento. mostly sunny exeam for except for some of the fog. i expect the fog to hit before the next system comes in. today, patchy low clouds, sunny, breeze. if you inland, it will be nice. if you are socked in with the fog, 50s and 60s. our cloud/rain forecast picks up along the coast. boy, does it come back tonight.

raise today. a bay area fountain used for bathing, shooting up drugs. ktvu investigates.

7:24. a new report says the huge fire at a san francisco apartment complex under construction in march started by accident. the san francisco fire department says the mission bay fire may have been started by sparks coming from welding or grinding equipment. the report says one worker saw sparks falling on bare plywood. extensive damage to the building basically made it impossible to determine exactly how the fire started. the fire did cause $40 million in damage to the six lf story building project. the chief of the eastern contra costa fire district is getting a 5% raise next month despite

the district's desperate financial problems. chief hugh henderson will earn more than $133,000 a year. he was entitled to pay raises in 2011 but he turned those down because none of the district's union workers had received raises for several years. that has been resolved. but district may still have to close two of it's five remaining fire stations in december. 7:25. ktvu investigated claims by an art student in san francisco that he picked up a bacterial infection from a public fountain. the student says two weeks ago strong winds blew a spray of water from this fountain at un plaza into his face. he his his left eye turned red and swollen. it hurt so much he could barely open it. some have said they've seen people use that fountain as a toilet, a bathtub, and that used syringes and needles are

dumped in there. >> san francisco needs to clean up that area and ensure that whether it be a little kid stepping on a syringe or anything, that they are taking care of -- taken care of. >> they say the fountain is cleaned once a week, inspectors check the water three times a week and add chlorine and tablets as needed. the crew finds two 0 to three dozen syringes every month. a wayward mountain lion wanders into an apartment complex. >> reporter: another pedestrian hit in san francisco after the driver of a car speeds away from police and also crashes into an apartment complex. coming up what tarted it and whether the driver was caught coming up next. good morning. we're still looking at slow traffic especially in the east way where we can see traffic leaving the richmond area is

backed up getting over to the richmond bridge. we'll tell you more about crossing the bay straight ahead. one forecast is clear. the other has a lot of low cloud. low clouds made it down to gilroy. we'll take a look at it and see how that impacts those temperatures.

it is 7:29 the we're live in san francisco this morning

where police say a car ran a red light, struck both the pedestrian and another car and then slammed into that building right there. ktvu's brian flores will join us in two minutes to tell us about the manhunt underway for three suspects. quite a bit of damage there. good morning. welcome back to "mornings on 2." i'm tori campbell. >> good morning. i'm dave clark. let's talk about weather and traffic, steve i ducked outside. i see clouds in the sky. >> we do have some low clouds out there. thank you. appreciate that. some areas, what are you talking about? it's clear. really solid, especially san mateo, santa cruz and santa clara valley. water temperatures are cold. inland temperatures are not that warm. it's kind of impressive that we're having these clouds. patchy, low clouds. the breeze is not going anywhere. san ramon can see fog up on the ridge and the breeze is there. it's been chilly. you can see the low cloud deck making a good push to the

south. but again, san francisco, oakland south. really not much to the north. 40s on the temperatures. that's a little brisk. there are very, very low 50s. 51 seems popular. there is not a roaring breeze. there's one 17 at fairfield. a little bit at sfo and also half moon bay. if you have that fog and you get a breeze up to 17 miles an hour. that's pretty cold. it will be sunny for most unless you have the fog. temperatures are in between. tomorrow we'll cool it down with another system over my shoulder. i will talk about that in 12 minutes. breezy, kind of cool. temperatures, 50s, 60s coast and bay. mainly low and mid-70s inland. here's sal. we're still looking at traffic that's busy. this is the peak of the morning commute. just waking up and turning it on. it's about a 25 to 30-minute drive time from oakland into san francisco which is not unusual as we look at some of the other pictures here. we're also looking at oakland. that still looks good. later on, you will see more slow traffic heading up north. northbound and southbound

moderately heavy. 80 westbound from just after highway 4, we have a line of slow traffic continues from hercules to richmond. remember the drive time from the carquinez bridge down to the macarthur maze, more than 30 minutes. i want to show you a live picture now of this car that was involved in that chase. they've righted the car and they are putting it onto the flats about dead now. this is the -- flatbed now. this is the first time i've been able to tell what kind of car it -- is it a rabbit? somebody just told me it's a volkswagen rabbit. maybe. they are putting it up on the car, on the tow truck. tara will have a live report from the scene as to what happened in this violent collision. one person was seriously injured. we'll have more on this police chase coming up. let's go to steve. actually, we'll go to steve in a little bit, sal. first want to let you know that san francisco police are still searching for a driver who hit

>> sirens, two and a half, three hours, nonstop. i didn't really hear the initial crash. i just heard up and down franklin. pretty busy street. >> reporter: police say several people were detained last night but so far, no arrests and the driver remains on the loose this morning. it appears despite the damage, the complex was structurally okay as we saw a resident leave moments ago. police also say there were two injuries as a result of the crash. we understand those injuries are non-life-threatening. we're live in san francisco, brian flores, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you, brian. this morning, san jose police are looking for two men they say killed a complete stranger in what could be a case of road rage. police say at 10:30 yesterday morning a man driving on senter road almost crashed into another car leaving the coyote creek mobile home park. they say the man got out, confronted the other people in the other car. that's when one opened fire,

it was found hiding in a parking garage behind this condo complex. here's video of how this came to an end. the mountain lion was tranquilized and put into a cage. it will be released into the wild. i'm being told by the puma group that was done last night. this all started when the mountain lion was spotted at 2:30 yesterday afternoon. people called police after they spotted it in the park and walked down california street and made its way into a fence parking garage of a condo complex. police set up a parameter and had their guns drawn. now, people were told to stay inside. >> a lot of people. this was crazy. didn't know what what was gonna happen. the police had the whole apartment complex locked down. >> reporter: you can see the mountain lion hiding underneath a car in the parking garage. now, that helped authorities in

because the cat cornered itself into an enclosed area. no one was injured during this ordeal including the mountain lion. it was one of the cats that the pu m. a project tracks. it was one wearing one of the group's kolars. the -- collars. they took the animal to the mid peninsula open space preserve but didn't give a specific location of where it was released. coming up in the next hour of "mornings on 2," you will hear exactly where that cat was from. i spoke to somebody with the puma group and they gave me an idea of what they think the cat was doing out here roaming out here in the streets. reporting live from mountain view, janine de la vega, ktvu channel 2 news. ktvu's chief meteorologist bill martin was invited to go to the white house to get a briefing on the new government report on climate change. bill was one of a handful of meteorologists from all across the country at the white house for the release of one of the most comprehensive reports ever

monument boulevard near highway 680. he noticed a person driving recklessly without their lights on. when he tried to pull the driver over, the driver sped off and the chase was on reaching speeds up to 100 miles an hour. police are identifying the suspect as 19-year-old michael holden of concord. he lost control in danville. holden suffered major injuries. he was transported to john muir medical center in critical condition. police say that holden stole the rabbit volkswagen from someone's home in walnut creek. because his injuries were so severe, several agencies were bought out to investigate, including the district attorney's office. the reason there are so many investigators involved is because if holden does not survive, the county and law enforcement will be prepared to handle any potential lawsuit. now, earlier, part of 680 was shut down but it's completely clear now. we are on lagonda way where the chp is still present because we have this tow truck getting

ready to pull out. it's blocking one of the lanes right now. this is lagonda way that runs parallel to the freeway. not too much traffic. we're live in danville, tara moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you, tara. the chp -- in fact, we've just learned the identities of everyone involved in a deadly car crash west of santa rosa. chp investigators say 1-year- old ashley carlson -- 17-year- old ashley carlson was ejected in the crash and died. it happened on llana road just before 8:00 last night. authorities say the driver, ashley kellogg of rohnert park, lost control, hit a tree, and a telephone pole before ending up upside down. she suffered minor injuries. 18-year-old in the back seat suffered major but non-life- threatening injuries. a marin county developer at the center of a federal fraud investigation has died.

the body of him was found yesterday afternoon inside his car about 320 feet down a ravine off shoreline freeway. newschopper2 was there as crews pulled up the car. they say the steep ravine made it very difficult to get to the crash scene. now, he was reported missing by his family on sunday when he didn't come back from a drive to stinson beach. now, according to a grand jury indictment unsealed last month, he was accused of bank and wire fraud. money laundering and conspiracy. federal investigators say he and his business partners defaulted on at least $34 million in loans made by sonoma valley bank. that bank was closed in 2012. it is also at the center of the investigation. the trial is due to begin in october. the ride sharing company uber has filed its defense in a wrongful death lawsuit. on new year's eve, 6-year-old sophia lui and her family were in a san francisco crosswalk.

they were hit by a car driven by a man who was an uber contractor. the girl died and her family sued uber, saying the man was logged onto the uber app at the time of the crash. but uber said it's not liable because the driver was not carrying passengers and he was not on his way to pick up passengers. so there was no reason for him to be interacting with his uber app on his phobe. -- dash on his phone. we're hearing about an east bay hospital in danger of closing down. it looks like those depending upon the hospital, the only hospital in western contra costa county will have to go some place else. alex savidge is live at doctors medical center in san pablo where the future of employees is very much in doubt. >> reporter: well, dave, good morning to you. one worker who was headed inside the hospital this morning told me she feels like she's in limbo. not sure how much longer she

will have her job. the election results are to the -- are not final. many supporters call this a safety net hospital for richmond and the surrounding areas here. if it closes, patients would have to travel much further ail way to get the care they need. voters were asked to approve measure c, a tax that would have generated about $20 million follow the hospital. those ballots were turned in last night. only about 51% of voters favored the tax. while that's the majority, the measure needed two-thirds to pass. hospital officials said they will vote to close the facility if this tax does fail. we talked to a woman who works as a health coordinator for the hospital. she's worried about the impact of these election results. >> it's been up in the air for a long time now. so i'm not sure. i waited last night until 8:20. they were still uncertain.

i'm gonna go and see and hopefully i still have a job. >> reporter: and doctors medical center has struggled for quite sometime to remain financially viable, back in 2004 and 2011, voters gave the green light to two other parcel taxes that kept the hospital open. the california nurses association is now also weighing in on this election from last night. they say if doctors' hospital closes it would be a dire public crisis. cna is calling on contra costa county to assume control of doctors medical center in order to keep the doors open. in a statement put up on the hospital's website it says that district voters have spoken and the board of directors for the hospital is now instructing hospital staff to prepare for a closure. we're live this morning in san pablo, alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. new doctor -- a new director has been named to lead
