not as breezy. hazy skies. 60s on the temps. all morning long, sal, that overturned truck. any improvement here? there is a little improvement, if you could call it that, because they are unloading the beer from the truck that flipped over on its side at about 3:00 this morning. they have to unload the beer and put it in another truck and get it out of there and then right the truck. this is westbound 580 near foothill. the freeway is down to three lanes. that's why traffic is so bad in the livermore valley. there is one solid line of slow traffic. we got information from the chp that the driver had a coughing attack and lost control of the truck. minor injuries for that driver. but a big problem for the morning commute. in case you're wondering, it's coors light and pbr because people have been asking. at the bay bridge toll plaza, the traffic is going to be moderate. about a 20-minute delay getting

into san francisco with no major problems. if you are driving into santa clara valley, northbound 280 is slow. you can see it there coming out of downtown. 85 as well. and 101. we don't have any crashes, but we just have a lot of slow traffic as you drive through. 7:03. back to the desk. >> thank you, sal. continuing coverage now of the paris terror attack. at this hour french special forces have swarmed a village in northern france after reports that the two terror suspects were seen robbing a gas station earlier today. ktvu's alex savidge with more. >> reporter: anti-terrorism police officers have a zeroed in on that small village northeast of paris this morning where those two men suspected of carrying out yesterday's attack were spotted at a gas station. let me show you some new video just into the newsroom of that station where investigators are collecting evidence. there could also be surveillance video from that store as well. according to one report, two men matching the descriptions of

the wanted gunmen stole food and gas from the station and may have fired some shots before making their getaway. a manhunt, of course, is underway across france for saeed and shareef. brothers from france. they are known to authorities and the younger of them, in fact, spent time in prison for being part of a jihaddist recruit. ring. it's unclear if the pair had any recent ties to terror groups. that is being investigated. overnight an 18-year-old man who may have been connected to yesterday's terror attacks at "the office" of charlie hebdo, the newspaper, turned himself in to police. but france, of course, remains on edge this morning with the two prime suspects, the two suspected gunmen, still on the loose. there is the real threat of more attacks. >> may be facing a new wave. it's probably not the end of a terror attack. we are ready to face it. we will fight. and fighting is aiming the

people, getting them to jail. >> reporter: and thursday has been declared a national day of mourning in france. that country's president attended a ceremony for the victims. and at noon the bells rang out at the notre dame cathedral in paris as people observed a moment of silence in honor of the 12 people killed in yesterday's terror attack. this was the scene outside of charlie hebdo offices where candles and you flowers line the streets there. people have come to pay tribute to the victims. by the way, we are getting word this morning that the satirical weekly up in that was the focus of this attack will be publishing an issue next week. again, though, the two gunmen wanted for yesterday's attack remain on the run this morning. they have been spotted, tori, in a small french village right now, and police appear to be closing in on them potentially. we will keep an eye on things. >> we will check back with you in an hour for an update. also new this morning,
