one of the worse crashes chp officers can remember on a road near the gilroy outlet stores. janine de la vega is in gilroy. the people died in a crash even though most of them were wearing seat belts. janine. >> reporter: yes, that's true. the male driver, is the only person who survived this crash. he's at the hospital right now but he's expected to survive. chp is over there right now. they are hoping to get a statement from him to try to find out what caused him to leave the road. at this point, we don't know if he even thoughs. all of the passengers traveling with him are dead. someone who lives nearby the crash scene on leavesly heard the crash and -- and spotted a ford mustang down a ravine. crews found the passengers all trapped. they had to cut the roof off of
7:05 am
the vehicle. when they did, they discovered all were dead. they are trying to figure out if the driver was speeding or misjudged the turn. three of the four passengers who died were wearing seat belts. >> one was not wearing a seat belt. the rest were. the vehicle crashed from the roof. >> reporter: the chp says the driver is in serious condition. at this point, they don't know if alcohol was involved in the crash. the identities of the victim are unknown. but officers tell us they all appear to be under the age of 25. it's possible some were teenagers. we just don't know yet. this accident caused the chp to shut down leavesly road overnight. but it did reopen at 5:00 a.m. it's a popular route that commuters use to get to highway 101 and something else the chp told us is that particular stretch of road about a quarter mile from where we're standing on leavesly road, they respond to accidents there at least once a week. they are not sure why that's

happening. but this is the worst one they've seen. >> wow. once a week is pretty frequent. >> reporter: yes. >> thank you. 7:05. well, it's daylight in philadelphia. and that's giving a better picture of the tragedy of last night's deadly deadly amtrak train derailment. a little while ago, investigators arrived at the crash scene. look at this. at least six people were killed. 146 others were hurt and taken to hospitals. many of the injured have been released already but some are still being treated and a few are listed in critical condition. this train was going from washington, d.c. to new york when it detailed, jumping off the tracks. the impact ripped apart rail cars and passengers, they were thrown from their seat es. >> most of the injuries were fractures, rib fractures, leg and arm fractures. >> mowm were in critical condition -- how many were in critical condition?

it's eastbound highway 4 near franklin canyon. paint and oil spilled in all of the lanes and traffic is at a complete standstill. this is near the franklin canyon golf course on the left there. eastbound highway 4, not recommended at all. you won't get through. i would say don't use it. you will be stuck in traffic. i don't believe chp is letting you use it at this point. but they will wait until they get this paint spill cleared. those vehicles may be stuck there until that happens. >> highway 4 doesn't need any more problems. >> no, it certainly does not, even though eastbound is the non-commute direction. whenever i say that, people say, well, i commute that way. >> any alternate routes at all? >> the route not to use highway 4 from 80 to 680. perhaps you can use san dab blow dam road or -- san pablo road or to the carquinez

7:16 am
thieves are, taking you -- are targeting you. there are reports of all four wheels stolen from vehicles. a fire specialist says the more valuable the tires are, the more attractive they are to thief. >> with the tires and wheels come out on new cars, it's not uncommon to pay $1,000 for tires. >> now, car experts say you can put locks on your rims. they say that's not a guarantee your wheels won't be stolen by somebody who has the know-how and the -- and the tools. they say that could slow them down and they could move onto somebody else's car. let's check in with sal. some cars are not moving at all eastbound. that's not the commute
7:17 am
direction. that can throw people off a great deal. >> that's right. this is eastbound 4 just outside of martinez near the franklin canyon golf course. there is a point and oil spill. you can see it down there. the traffic is backed up from highway 80 to the point where the chp is not gonna let anyone on eastbound highway 4. why would they? all of these cars are stuck. all of these cars and trucks are stuck until they clean it up. the only good news, is that the caltrans was able to contain the paint and the oil and into the let it go down drains -- and not let it go down drains. but the traffic impact is horrible on eastbound highway 4. look at all of that backed up traffic. these people are not going anywhere. it's not quite backed up to highway 80 but i think people might be surprised by seeing this backup. it's not getting through at all. it's a sig-alert. let's -- westbound is not affected. this is the westbound bay

7:48 am
nickel machine. she plans to buy a house, as you heard her. >> very smart way to spend your money. want to check in with sal. how are things looking on the east shore? >> they are a little bit slow. westbound 80. i want to show you a traffic time here on 80 westbound coming from the carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze. it's a 45-minute drive time. a lot of that is because of the slow traffic in richmond heading west toward the berkeley area. you can see the traffic is actually doing okay as you drive down to the macarthur maze. when up get to the bay bridge toll plaza, it's backed up for a 15, 20-minute delay before you make it onto the bridge. 580 is still slow in livermore and pleasanton. and in san jose, northbound 101, traffic is very slow into mountain view. 85 and 280 are moderate. let's go to steve. we do have mostly cloudy
7:49 am
skies. it's cold. it's chilly. there is a pretty good breeze kicking up. the low offshore is spinning in low, mid-level clouds and that breeze is onshore. westerly or southerly component for some. not as bad as yesterday. you can see the cloud cover over. that's your mostly cloudy morning there. a little bit of sunbreaks to the south and to the west. the next band of cloud cover rolls in. the best opportunity for rain is tomorrow morning. probably about santa cruz mountains. san jose south. we'll paint it in for everybody. these are the average or the normal high temps for may 134th for napa, san jose, palo alto. these are my forecasted highs for today. they will all be close. 67 or 66 way below average. coast, bay and inland. cloud cover associated with one system is lifting northward. water temps are very cold. 40s and 50s on the temps. a decent breeze. west at oakland.
7:50 am
west, west, west-southwest. here's kind of the key for the entire month. upper 40s, low 50s all the way to monterey at 52. 48 to 52 is cold. that means the fog forms rapidly. there's no heat in the valley. 50 on the temps out to sacramento, fresno and bakersfield. sierra, they will waiting for -- they are waiting for the system to move in tomorrow. this could be upgraded to a winter storm warning. maybe a foot of snow up to the 5 a00-foot level -- up to the 5500-foot level. i think .30 to .50 from santa cruz mountains south. it's in the mix here. a lot of cloud cover, if not. it will maintain a cold pattern. tomorrow morning, san jose. east bay, south bay, we'll wait for later and then in the late
7:51 am
morning/early afternoon, things will pop up. the parameters, some thunderstorms could erupt. you need heat and lift in the clouds. pie 5:00, 6:00, most of this -- buy 5:00, 6:00 -- by 5:00, 6:00, most of this will push off. it won't warm up much here. mostly sunny, breezy at times. temps staying below normal. 60s almost for everybody. if you hit 70. it will be a soft 70. brentwood, other locations, really struggle. upper 50s or low 60s. 50s, 60s coast and on the peninsula, probably the warmest is 67. cloudy, some rain tomorrow into early friday and then it's out. the weekend will be better. i just don't think it will be that much warmer. >> if it was 60s verses 90s, i will take the 90s.
