thunderstorm activity. a lot of clouds here. high clouds, low clouds. thunderstorm showers. sprinkles or rain. very muggy and humid. 70s and 80s. the temperatures inland are way below average for this time of the year. the temperatures coast and bay are running near average to above. so much -- the water temperatures are really warm. 60s which is why the city can't cool off. it will be warmer inland especially as we start thursday and go into the weekend. just checking right now and netflix stock is currently down 7 -- 7.3% in early trading this morning. after yesterday's closing bell, netflix reported earnings more than doubled. netflix reported adding 1.7 million new subscribers around the world.

jose. they are still not releasing his name. traffic moving along northbound 101 just north of great american parkway. you can see a speeding motorcycle in the area. obviously a major concern for chp because it's just such a dangerous situation. early this morning, investigators shut down two lanes of northbound to determine the cause of the deadly motorcycle accident and they say it appears that speed was the most significant factor. >> preliminary report is showing that the make collided with the rear of the big rig. we have several witnesses that placed the motorcycle at speeds at over 100 miles an hour. >> that accident happened around 2:40 this morning. the red motorcycle slamming into the back of the big rig. the chp says following that accident. the motorcycle driver was thrown from the bike to the roadway. there was no way for passing drivers to avoid him. >> with the rider of the motorcycle being left in the

roadway, there were several vehicles inadvertently came in contact with the body. whether or not that contributed to his death, we don't know that. >> reporter: the other drivers did stop to tell the chp what had happened. the chp tells me that another big rig driver traveling behind this accident actually witnessed the collision and tells officers that it appears that the motorcycle was trying to pass the big rig on the right and didn't make it. investigators say the santa clara county medical examiner's office may release the identity of the victim of this motorcycle rider a little bit later on today. also trying to determine if drugs or alcohol were a factor in this stent. but again -- in this accident. but again, the chp say it appears that speed was the major determining factor in this motorcycle accident. as for the morning commute, it did not have a significant impact on the morning commute since it had been cleared by around 5:00 this morning. as you can see, traffic now

progressing normally here on northbound 101, again, north of great america parkway. cyst back to -- now back to you. police say a 17-year-old is being treated for a gunshot wound after a midnight shooting on patrick avenue. he's expected to survive. investigators say the teenager told them he was a victim of a drive-by shooting. police doubt his story. they say the evidence shows that gunfire was probably self- inflicted and an accident. at this point, police don't plan to file charges against the teenager. 8:06. san francisco police believe -- say they believe the same people are breaking in and stealing from startup companies. now there's video police hope will lead to an arrest. this is surveillance video from the corporate officer of build zoom on mission street. employees say it shows a woman entering the building numerous

8:14. new this morning, we are just learning that delta airlines has canceled all flights to israel indefinitely. that's according to the associated press. the airline cites a report of a rocket near the tel aviv airport. hamas militants have been firing rockets into israeli territory while israeli air

strikes are hitting the gaza strip. of course, in light of the malaysian airlines flight being shut down, this is of extra concern. in the last few weeks, fighting in the region has claimed more than 600 lives. happening later today, president obama is due to arrive here in the bay area for a quick fund-raising visit. the president's expected to land at sfo around 9:00 tonight. that might impact traffic in the air airport around there -- in the area around there. tickets for the fund-raiser range from $10 to $32,000. there are signs the first family may be moving west after leaving the white house. there are several reports this morning the obamas are buying a four-bedroom home in rancho mirage, south east of palm springs. speculation started. the house has an asking price

inside that recology truck and they were able to rescue the man inside amid all of the cardboard. he was injured. he had what we understand was a fairly minor injury. he was taken to san francisco general hospital. he's expected to survive. it's incredible especially given the fact that this truck, the contents of the truck were actually compacted at some point. it's unclear if that's how he suffered his injuries. but i want to bring in robert reed with recology. first of all, do you believe the actions of this driver involved here this morning may have saved this man's life? >> the driver's name is mike jones. he's a 20-year recycling collector for recology. he was very heads up to drive immediately to a fire station where they had all of this great training and they could rescue the gentleman out of the truck. >> reporter: how is the driver doing and do we know how the gentleman who was inside the back of the truck is doing?

they obviously both went through an ordeal. >> it's a very unusual situation. >> reporter: we're very glad that the gentleman survived this situation and was rescued. the driver was very alert. very heads up to hear, you know, these trucks make some noise -- you know, these trucks make noise and he was able to hear pounding in the truck. there was a small amount of verbal communication briefly at that point. the driver drove immediately to the fire station. and the driver just did a heck of a job. he's taking it all in stride. we did a debrief with him. we've got a very thorough safety department and then the driver went back to complete his cardboard collection route. so the driver is out on the street right now, servicing his customers get all of the cardboard recycled. >> reporter: is this something that you train for? >> we train for a lot of safety situations. there is a lot of people in san francisco. it's tight quarters.

we don't train for this one in particular. this is a very unusual situation. i have been working for recology for 21 years and i can only remember one other situation where a person was in one of our bins. so this is a very unusual situation and the driver was very alert, very heads up and really responded well in a very strange, unusual situation. >> reporter: robert reed with recology, thank you. it's an incredible story. a homeless man inside a dumpster mistakenly dumped inside a cardboard recycling truck. they to be rescued by firefighters, taken to san francisco general hospital. but he's expected to survive. we're live this morning in san francisco, alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right. thank you. we want to check in with sal. we've talked about rain earlier but apparently a water hydrant, a fire hydrant has made a mess in san francisco. >> that's right, south of market, one of the busiest spots for the morning or

evening commute, for that matter. fire hydrant was sheared off by a car. can the fire department stopped it. it's at the corner of an alley near 6th street. this is closest to the major street folsom. you can see the pile. but our reporter, tara, is just -- she's on the scene. i see her from newschopper2. i can also see the traffic that's leading away from the freeway. it's a big mess. you can see it as you drive. these are live pictures from our camera on the ground. police are there. avoid 6th street south of market. you may want to go another way. you know your way across the city. you can go up 9th or 3rd. let's take a look at the toll plaza. improved here, about a 15- minute drive time into san francisco. the slowest traffic in the east bay is on 880 this morning. 880 southbound as i can trace a line of stop-and-go sensors all the way into fremont. let's go to steve. >> thank you, sal. well, come on now. this is about as good as it

gets for us in july. i can't remember a july where we've had this kind of activity. it's been nonstop here. tropical clouds coming in. we had good thunder and lightning. lightning, thunder. in between right now, i will take a quick trip. this cell went through marin county and had people freaking out, especially around marinwood, mill valley, san rafael, fairfax. went right through there boom. a half-hour, 45 minutes ago. long gone now. but i think marin county is in line for more activity. clover dale, a little bit of rain. glen ellen has had light rain. looks like rain by oakley and brentwood. i know a couple of people out in oakley, maybe they can confirm that. a lot of this is on the light side. san jose has been light.

alum rock, also on the peninsula. puerto lowle have, woodside, los altos, back to saratoga. all associated with the low. humidity factor is high. any sunbreaks will help feed the moisture source. big low off vancouver is drawing up our low right there. you can see the circulation. that's helping enhance some of that thunderstorm activity. a lot of clouds here. low clouds, high clouds. morning rain. showers, thunderstorms possible. humid, breezy. 60s on, 70s on the temperatures. 70s and very low 80s inland. factor of tropical clouds will clear out of here tomorrow. but the fog will be there. then it looks like warmer weather kicks in and takes us into the weekend. >> all right, steve. 8:23. cracking down on people who waste water. coming up in 25 minutes, a new

plan by one bay area utility company. this one could have authorities knocking on your front door but first he was caught on camera doing wheelies on his motorcycle. up to 120 miles an hour. after the break, the serious new trouble for a man with a history of reckless driving.

a man with a history of reckless driving has been arrested on dui charges following a deadly crash that killed a passenger in his car.

take a look at this video from april of 23-year-old corey mcdonogh. that's when the chp plane caught him racing in oakland. investigators say he was going about 120 miles an hour and doing wheelies. he was arrested shortly after charged with reckless driving. during the most recent incident he was driving a corvette and hit a light pole on 580 near park boulevard in oakland early friday. the car rolled over and mcdonogh and the passenger why ejected. the passenger later died. mcdonogh suffered major injuries. the chp says there were signs that he was under the influence of alcohol. it's the biggest water outage one bay area city has ever seen. people have been without water with water for almost a week. after the break, the extreme measures they are trying to do just to get by. we're live in san francisco

where traffic hit a snag after a truck driver ran over a fire hydrant. we'll tell you exactly where traffic is affected -- next. right now we still have slow traffic in the south bay. 237. you can see it here slowing down on the way to the valley. we'll tell you how slow it is coming in and give you some drive times. a little of this, a little of that. breaks n cloud, some thunderstorms, some rain currently falling. it looks more. i will show you where they will pop up.

well, good morning. welcome back. we're following developing news in san francisco's south of

market neighborhood. look at all of the traffic. it was a problem. a truck sheared off a fire hydrant on 6th street near folsom right about there. ktvu's tara moriarty is there. she says traffic is backing up from the interstate 280 offramp. you can see it for yourself. this is not pretty. tara will have a live report on everything coming up in two minutes. stay tuned. it's tuesday morning. july 22nd, i'm dave clark. let's check weather and traffic. nothing boring about our weather. >> is there something going on? >> we got a lot going on. just heard dennis in buena vista park. he said holy cow! i believe it. the lightning show 4:30, 5:00 a.m. in san francisco was really good. mother nature put on quite a show. we had one in marin county. i laugh because people are still tweeting me. dorothy said her cat is still under the bed. [laughter] >> twin peaks .08 on rain this

morning. buena vista park .07. pacific heights, .06. kite hill park, .05 and mint hill, .05. we've had rain in lake county, mendocino county. all the way down to san jose and the santa cruz mountains. a little cell near cloverdale moving towards lakeport. there are areas of scattered showers, hit and miss. yowent. sliding out -- yountville. sliding out. mill pete tis, east san jose. a little bit around sunnyvale, woodside, palo alto area there's been some light rain. you can see the tropical clouds streaming northward. maybe some more thundershower activity. there is a lot of cloud out there. here's sal. >> steve, we have slow traffic in san jose. i want to show you the maps where we can see that a lot of the road sensors will be pretty red which means slow traffic on

280, 101, 85. for example, 101 is slow from day down here near yerba buena. it stays slow up to mountain view. there's a couple of breaks. for most part, it's slow. 280 is a little better and 85 is the best view. let's take a live look at 280. 280 is not that bad as you drive up to highway 17. it will slow down. again, 101 is the worst. 85 is the best and 280 is somewhere in between. let's go to the bay bridge toll plaza. traffic is backed up for about a 20-minute drive time into san francisco. some of the lanes have cleared out. your approach is your best approach. we're following developing news in san francisco. a truck sheared off a fire hydrant sending water shooting into the air. tara moriarty is on 6th street in san francisco where a large puddle remains. tara? >> reporter: yeah, 6th street is pretty much a nightmare in the northbound direction as you are getting off 280 all the way up to market street. if you take a look behind me, you can see just how bad the

gridlock is and there were police out here directing traffic but it looks like it's slowly starting to get back to normal. if we swing around to the right, if you follow me over here, i can show you exactly where the fire hydrant was. take a look right here. the hole is right there and that is where witnesses say that a truck driver was backing up his 18-wheeler and sheared that hydrant right off the sidewalk sending water spewing everywhere. we arrived before 8:00 just as fire crews were leaving. they put the fire hydrant on the back of the rig. that will obviously need to be replaced. we know that fire hydrants in order to get the parts and labor runs upwards of i think about 7,000. police are interviewing the driver of the 18-wheeler. they were interviewing him. they let him go. city workers were able to cap off the shooting water. now there's just a puddle. they have blocked off this alleyway here clara street because of the water being so deep that the cars are creating

such a splash and all of that. but the big story is the fact that traffic has definitely been impacted. if we flip around, you can see that it's just like a parking lot and you can see all of the way to 280. that's the offramp as you are coming off. give yourself extra time if you have to come this way. but i would definitely try to avoid it at all costs. live in san francisco, i'm tara moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you. meantime in the very same neighborhood, a homicide investigation is adding to the traffic problems in the south of market area. police say a man was shot and killed a couple of hours ago at 6th and harrison street, a few blocks away from the fire hydrant crash. the man's friends rushed him to san francisco general hospital. that's where he died. homicide investigators still searching for suspects. it's not clear what led up to that deadly gunfire. 8:35. new this morning, a federal appeals court has delivered a

potentially serious setback to president obama's healthcare law ruling that people who bought policies in some states cannot receive tax subsidies. the court ruled that the federal government may not subsidize health insurance plans bought by people in states that decided not to set up their own marketplaces under the new healthcare law. and california has its own exchange called covered california. so it would seem people who enrolled here would not be affected by this morning's ruling and they would be covered. also minutes ago, the obama administration responded to the this morning's ruling saying healthcare subsidies will continue despite the court's decision. this is obviously a complicated development. we'll keep you updated as we get more clarity on exactly what this morning's ruling means. b.a.r.t. is enforcing rules that ban people from sleeping or lying down at b.a.r.t. stations. b.a.r.t. police say a chaotic ings dent two years ago -- incident two years ago clearly shows why the

crackdown is needed. smoke from an electrical arc filled the station in san francisco. police say the people lying down made it difficult to evacuate everyone at the station. right now, police are cons straighting -- concentrating their efforts on the powell street station to enforce the rule but they plan to expand it systemwide. 8:37. hundred of people at an apartment complex in pleasanton, still without water this morning. it's been five days since a water main brach. it cut off the water supply to people living at the springhouse apartments. tensions have been boiling since the water stopped running friday afternoon. some people filling water jugs from an empty hot tub to fill up their toilets. others are using portable toilets. that's not an option. i didn't pay $2200 a month to use a porta-potty. >> it's been hard to take a shower and clean dishes and

things like that. so far, the management is only responding by saying they are handing out fliers, saying they hope -- by saying -- by handing out fliers saying they hope to have the water running this week. yesterday, 19-year-old jaime ramos made his first court appearance. he stood in the courtroom with the dozens of charges against him that could bring the death penalty if convicted. the judge read the charges one by one. >> count 15 is the same charge, attempted murder on a peace officer alleged to have occurred on the same date with the same sentencing enhancements. >> prosecutors say he and two other men robbed the bank of the west in stockton, took three hostages and then led police on a running gun battle through the streets of stockton. investigators say ramos used 41-

year-old misty holt-singh as a human shield. she died during the chase and shootout along with his two accomplices. stockton police are offering a $10,000 reward in their search for a fourth suspect who dropped the other three off at the bank. police recovered the dark colored four door sedan about two miles from the bank last friday. it was captured on surveillance video near the bank. police still don't know who was behind the wheel. they hope someone with answers will step forward. a 62-year-old san francisco woman with cerebral palsy is not sure what she's going to do now that someone has stolen her electric wheel chal. maggie frazier drove it to her boyfriend's house in the sunset district on the 4th of july and parked it outside since swuns was blocking the driveway -- someone was blocking the driveway. when she went to leave, the wheelchair was gone. >> he was crying. i was crying. both of us were crying.

>> right now, she's spending hundreds of dollars to rent a wheelchair, which is very difficult, because she's on a fixed income. california has a new law that says college students under the age of 21 will now be allowed to drink alcohol in class as long as they enrom in programs for -- enroll in programs for beer brewing or wine making. the sip and spit takes affect next year. students can only sip the alcohol but then they have to spit it out. while several states allow minors to sample their alcoholic course work, california does not, even though the state stand at one of the top's world producers of beer and wine. 8:40. filming for dwayne the rock johnson's latest movie continues in the russian hill neighborhood. scenes for san andrape just will be shotted a hyde and lombard. here are a couple of photos from yesterday's shoot at at&t park. in the movie, johnson reportedly plays a helicopter pilot who scours the state

looking for his daughter in the aftermath of a massive earthquake. filming will continue this weekend near the fairmont hotel and along california street. i have to say, as someone who was at the giants' world series beam when the loma prieta earthquake hit, it's a little freaky -- even though it's pretend -- to see that at the ballpark. >> takes you back. >> yes, it does. you know the heat is on here in california. coming up in 12 minutes, that looks hot. what's affecting the state's temperature for the first time in decades. an amazing rescue for san francisco firefighters this morning as they pull a homeless man from the ac-- from the back of a truck. good morning. we're looking at a commute that's still delayed in some areas, especially on the san mateo bridge where traffic has come to a halt. we get to the bottom of this and look at the bay bridge commute as well. a fun morning for me.

thunderstorm activity. lightning show, san francisco, also into marin county. a little cell out towards brentwood. there is a lot of clouds out here. rain has died down. we'll see if it picks up later on.

8:44. let's bring you up to date on some of the top stories we are

following for you -- police in sunnyvale say a man on a motorcycle was speeding on northbound 101 early this morning when he slammed into the back of a big rig and was thrown from this motorcycle. police say he landed in the slow lane of traffic, then he was run over by several other cars. that cyclists is identified as a 23-year-old man from san jose. the driver of the big rig was not injured. we have an update for you now of an incredible story from san francisco. we've told you about this earlier this hour. it involves the rescue of a man who was trapped inside of a trash dumpster. that one right there. ktvu's alex savidge joining us live in the city's sunset district. so what happened out there? >> well, dave, good morning to you. san francisco firefighters pulled off an amazing rescue here this morning. they were able to pull a homeless man from the back of a recology cardboard recycling truck. this man wound up inside the truck because he was sleeping

in a dumpster earlier this morning and the truck came around and picked up the dumpster and dumped the contents in the back of the truck, that included the gentleman and he went in the back of the truck. the driver of the recology truck heard the man baking from the back of the truck and -- banging from the back of the truck and so he drove it to the nearest fire station here, station 22 and 16th and irving. this is where firefighters used ladders to get inside of the truck and they were able to rescue this man amid all of that cardboard. he was injured. he had minor injuries. he was taken to the hospital. but he's expected to survive. it's amazing, especially given the fact that this man was inside the back of that truck when the cardboard was compacted. >> the good news, cardboard can kind of be cushiony. the cardboard did partially compact but obviously not enough to injure the man in a

really serious way. >> reporter: and a representative from recology told me this is a very unusual situation. this is not something that happens very afternoon with recology trucks. he says that the driver this morning, a man by the name of mike jones has been with with rekolry for 20 years. did all of the right things this morning. he was alert. he heard the man at the back of the truck. and then he didn't panic and drove right away to the fire station and the spokesperson told me in all likelihood this driver may have saved this man's life. we're live in san francisco, alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. water wasters will face water cops. pam cook is in the newsroom with more. >> good morning. today the santa clara water district is expected to vote for hiring temporary employees who will act as water cops. now, for now, they are considered outreach personnel. they will follow up on complaints about wasting water and they will talk with people

about the rules against overwatering, washing cars, and broken sprinklers. they will join other water districts that do prewater audits at homes and businesses looking for leaks and other possible violations. but the water cops could eventually hand out signs if people don't comply. many districts have asked customers to cut water use by 20% but santa clara valley water says water use in that county is only down about 12%. other counties including sacramento and santa cruz, have already started handing out fines for water wasting. reporting live in the newsroom, pam cook, ktvu channel 2 news. let's bring sal back. you've been but spi all morning. you've -- busy all morning. you got the chopper working. >> the chopper is south of market in san francisco, watching the streets there. there's where the hydrant was. the slow down is for blocks and blocks on 6th street heading up north to market off the freeway. we recommend not using 6th

street to get off the freeway and head up this way. you might want to think about using 9th or third or perhaps if you are good with city streets using another way or maybe this is the morning when you take public transit downtown. right now 6th street is not doing very well for blocks and blocks. normally it's slow this morning. it's slower. let's take a look at the bay bridge toll plaza, about a 15, 20-minute drive time getting into san francisco. a lot of the slow traffic this morning is getting across to the other side. dumbarton bridge is pretty slow. san mateo bridge slow traffic although it gets better once on the span. let's go to steve. sal? >> yes, sir. >> jive had fun this morning but i'm spent. >> you are. you've been talking about the lightning. >> good stuff. a lot going on. the line of tropical clouds is moving. the main line was around marin county, san mateo coast, and also san francisco. now it looks like it's out towards brentwood. i will show you that in a

second. there's lane rain in lake county. that thunderstorm that rocked marin county, still getting reports on that. lakeport, also around clearlake, maybe kelseyville. one little cell still is right there. might produce some thunder lightning and some hail. the main one, though looks to be out near oakley. bethel island, brentwood. that seems to be the focus of the line that's forming. the colder tops, the wider tops look to be pushing towards solano, and santa clara county. there's still some rain coming up from the south bay but not nearly the coverage we had earlier. seems to be thinning out around san jose. been decent as around the coast. that looks to be drying up. the line is pushing inland. but any breaks in the cloud definitely, you get afternoon heating that could definitely fire up some more activity later on. it's really mild. a couple of reasons because of the tropical cloud. the sea surface temperatures will very, very warm. it's not el nino. we've not had a northwest

breeze. water temperatures have gone up which is why the lows have not been dropping. the breeze has picked up. i think we'll get a decent westerly breeze. clouds here in the morning. maybe a few showers. they could easily pop up later on. right now that line of tropical clouds is pushing out. really strong low here. i think it's strong enough that it may play into our weather longer. a lot of clouds here. some sunbreaks. morning showers. lightning later on. a lot of moisture in the air. 60s, 70s. coast and bay running average to above on the highs. everyone is running way above on the lows. inland temperatures are cooler. we'll have light and morning fog. the tropical clouds will be gone on wednesday. it looks warmer on thursday. the forecast models are backing off on all of this. i'm not surprised as the high tries to build in from the four four corners. i will ease into it going into the weekend. the drought is playing a big role in our record-breaking heat. new government figures show the

first six months of this year were the hottest in california since record-keeping started. this comes conthe heels of 2013 -- comes on the heels of 2013 whichs the hottest year. more of the heat from the sun is going into heating the air and the ground rather than evaluating water. scientists link california's heat and drought to global climate change. all right. 8:52. there is a major new development in the malaysia tragedy. how the developments now involve a train.

welcome back. 8 oosm 54. now to our continuing coverage of the malaysian plane shot down over eastern ukraine. right now, president obama is at the embassy of the netherlands in washington, d.c. this is an unscheduled trip. the president is signing a condolence book for the people who died when that plane was shot down. now, early this morning, a train carrying the bodies of some of the 298 people who were killed, it arrived in the second largest city in ukraine. ukrainian authorities have set up their crash investigator center there. the bodies will be taken to the netherlands. they will be examined and

identified. pro-russian rebels are starting to cooperate with the investigation. but authorities say it might have come too late. >> not everyone has been supporting a real investigation into this crime. if they were, international experts would have had unimpeepedded access to the crime scene. now, the bodies of 16 of the passengers they are still missing. the malaysian prime minister says he will do everything possible to bring closure for the family. pro-russian rebels have also handed over the black boxes to malaysian officials. the prime minister says for the past few days, the country has been working to establish contact with the people controlling that crash site. there's concern the plane's black boxes may have been tampered with. but experts say that's highly unlikely. they say investigators will be able to tell if those boxes have been altered in any way. all right. changing up the topic quite a bit here. the royal family is celebrating a very special birthday this

morning. britain's prince george is turning 1. these are new photos when he was taken to a butter 4th of july museum with -- butterfly museum with his parents. it's ticket tuesday. one viewer will win win tickets to hollywood studios. the police clouds round trip airfare and hotel accommodations. you will receive tickets to universe studios. go to ktvu.com before midnight and enter minion. >> minion. >> minion. >> great time. went to universal studios a little while ago. >> all right. 8:57. we see sal over there. you are watching the bridges as well. quickly we go through this

traffic report and look at the san mateo bridge where it's not doing well late morning. it's very slow as you head out to the high rise. the bay bridge is slow but recovering. let's go to steve. all right. we had -- i think most of the activity is done. could be more light showers or thunderstorms popping you. most of it was about two hours ago. mostly cloudy, partly sunny. muggy, humid looks warmer but i'm holding off until friday. thank you for making ktvu your choice for news. be sure to watch us at noon. have a great day. can't say thank you enough.
