hour. one witness described the sound. >> like a bomb. like an explosion. i have heard car wreck brz, but you could tell this had weight to it. you could tell it was really serious. >> a teenage boy, 17, who was in that minivan was killed. police say the mom and sister suffered very serious injuries. this started around 6:50 this morning. patrol officers actually saw this silver car, an suv, blow right past them through two intersections, and then around a bus before hitting the minivan so hard that it rolled and the suv rolled too here at pine and golf street. a delivery man with three people inside also hit too. they suffered nonlife-threatening injuries, though. neighbors say a nurse who happened to be in the area helped all of the injured while police chief greg who has seen a lot says this is about as bad as it gets.

>> i also -- she was helping someone. they were either on their way to work, but, i mean, thank god, you know, that they were on hand to be able to -- and the police started directing traffic, helping the situation. >> lis say they don't know why this driver, a woman, was speeding in the first place. the posted speed limit that i'm looking at here, because there is a school nearby, says it's just 25 miles an hour. witnesses say this woman got out. she seemed shaken up, and she was then put in an ambulance and taken away. what police chief is telling me is that it looks like charges are pending, but at this point they still don't know exactly what those charges will be. reporting live in san francisco, christy smith, nbc bay area news. >> well, from san francisco to

and it's sunny out. >> it is. new season just started here. last sunday. we're now into fall. want to start with the live picture. you can see all the smoke over san jose. we've had a lot of calls into our newsroom. a lot of people wondering where is the fire? well, nowhere near where we are here on the south bay in particular. let me take it right to my wind speed and give you an whered of what we're talking about. the fire is burning on the 505. it's the direction of our wind and a lack of any constapt wind down here in the south bay that is -- we have all that sinking smoke coming into the south bay where it's clear conditions in concorde, oakland, san francisco. we're getting more of that atmospheric mixing. that's going to be the case if you head throughout the next couple of hours at least. potentially all the way through tonight, and fire officials always tell us here at nbc bay area, if you can smell the smoke, then it's probably bad for your air quality and bad for your health. especially if you have respiratory issues.

limit your outdoor activity for the next few hours. we'll have an update at 5:00, 6:00 and, 11:00 here on nbc bay area. winds right now have dropped off. they're sustained 10 to 15 miles per hour. they still have the red flag warning going, and that's until about 3:00 p.m. temperatures aren't that warm. we're getting those dried down sloping winds, and so still a concern for firefighters and that red flag warning, though, should be able to expire right on time at 3:00 p.m. temperatures look good for us today. if you have been wanting to hit the beach tomorrow is your day to do so. really comfortable weather as we ramp up your numbers. by about five to ten degrees from today's hide. 69 out in pacifica. 71. then everything changes as we get into the weekend. especially late sunday into monday. we're talking about our next chance for showers. mostly north of the golden gate bridge. on and off activity. we're talking about maybe one-tenth of an inch. maybe not. we'll get another round of gusty winds. there will be on shore winds and cooler temperatures. your seven-day outlook tells the story. we're want going to see any major extreme swings when it comes to your temperatures.

however, we are going to see that rain as we head through late sunday into monday, and then we have a better chance as we head through the end of next week. back to you, jon and marla. >> beautiful. thank you. >> we should take that. you know, a reminder it's friday. still to come, caught on camera. how about brian wilson flexing some testosterone and vocal cords? a heated conversation with giants ceo larry bear. we'll let you know what this was all about.

beard. >> well, hey, the win over the rams with the 49ers. this play, a lot of people wonder, what's going on here? at the end of the fist half the 9ers take a free kick. this one is just an obscure role that the coach decided i'll take advantage of that. here's the deal. the team catches the punt, which the 9ers did. they can then try for a free kick. the other team can't defend. if it goes through, it counts for three points. this one was about a 71-yard field goal attempt. no shock it didn't go through. they return it. they didn't score anyway. the 9ers, they attempted that big field goal. didn't get it done. no sweat. no worries. they head into the locker room with a 14-3 halftime lead before winning this by a final of 24 points. >> the announcers, they gave harbough props for that. >> a smart coach. >> yeah, they won. >> so there is cute and then there's really cute. >> that's when she does the when she gets really cute. what it looks like for a panda
