a.c. transit ruled on binding arbitration. a.c. transit imposed a new contract. there is a new schedule. drivers said they weren't ready for it. a judge heard the case on friday. he or she were expecting to make a decision. >> bottom line is a lot of these drivers aren't coming to work. they are calling in sick and that's creating a big mess for riders. >> a hit-and-run in danville, two bikes hit, two cars. the guy related to a san francisco giant. >> lindsay lohan out of jail. apparently managed to escape the paparazzi. no one got the picture.

morning. and elsewhere out to the bay bridge toll plaza, they did pick up the roadwork on the upper deck so all traffic flowing nicely into san francisco. that is your traffic. for your forecast, here's tracy. >> hey, thanks, elizabeth. monday morning forecast coming off a nice weekend. if i could sum it up in one work, it was exceptional. really nice. along the coastline, low clouds and fog even a little drizzle, low clouds and fog around the bay and even some areas of fog inland. temperatures for the morning will range from the lower to the mid to the upper 50s. and here's a look at what will remain in the forecast today. more sunshine expected, little change. if you liked the weekend, you'll love today and tomorrow. cooler conditions in the forecast. but that won't get here until the middle of the week. in the meantime if you like the warmup over the course of the weekend, you will love today. and you'll love tuesday. going to be nice. >> it was hot. i was in fremont over the weekend. it was hot there. >> good hot.

>> back to you guys. thank you. a possible decision today in the labor dispute involving a.c. transit and it drivers. anne makovec is in oakland where those drivers are fighting the contract imposed on them last month. anne, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. they have been fighting it for a couple of weeks now, now with the judge they are hoping for an injunction on a new contract that's been imposed but in the meantime, bus riders here in the east bay are facing another commute caught in the middle of all of this. a.c. transit says 15 to 20% of its drivers have been no shows since tim pleasantonment that interim contract two weeks ago because of all the sick calls transit officials have been forced to cut routes. the union denies its workers are coordinating a sickout. it says that drivers are just struggling to adapt to their new schedules laid out in the interim contract but in the meantime, 200,000 riders are stuck waiting and wondering if their bus will even show up.

>> riders are experiencing missed buses every day because these drivers, 15 to 20% of them, aren't coming to work. that's breaking what they pledged to the judge. it's also breaking their promises as public servants to serve the taxpayers and the riders of a.c. transit. >> we said we were going to work, we're working. we're working! my members, are we working? >> yeah! > >> reporter: a.c. transit imposed the new contract last month after three months of labor negotiations ended in a stalemate. the union and a.c. transit went to alameda county superior court on friday for a decision on that interim contract so the judge has indicated that she might be making her announcement this morning on that ruling and if she does end up ruling in favor of the interim contract which would be against the drivers, there is no telling how long all of these schedule disruptions could last. john and sydnie? >> all right, anne. thank you very much, anne makovec in oakland.

sand barrels. it looks like like they have most of the sand out of the road now. eastbound 92 at hesperian. but crews are still on scene so maybe some small delays as you get off of the san mateo bridge heading towards the 880 interchange. but they did pick up all that overnight roadwork in that area that actually called for a full freeway closure and mass transit is on time. we may see delays for a.c. transit but everything else is on time. that is your traffic. for your forecast, here's tracy. >> hey, thanks, elizabeth. we got plenty of clouds to greet us for this morning especially along the coast and around the bay. the farther inland you go, we are enjoying clear skies like you saw in the san jose shot. this shows us what's going on with the clouds at around 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. to 10:00, starting to see clouds pushing back. they are moving out of the bay, pushing back to the coastline. that's going to lead us to plenty of sunshine expected around the bay area today. a few low clouds, though, still

in the forecast, especially for the coastline. coastal highs in the lower 60s, mid-60s around the bay and near 90 degrees inland. little change for tuesday. cooler conditions wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday. even rounding out sunday, temperatures will cool down a bit more as a low pressure builds in and that will lead us with temperatures in some location up to 10 degrees below average for the middle of the workweek. that's a look at your weather. back up to you. >> thank you. a judge is expected to rule today on a contract the a.c. transit drivers don't want. anne makovec is in oakland now and has the story. good morning, anne. >> reporter: good morning. a lot of riders eagerly awaiting this decision. they are hoping that their travel trouble will be over. now, you can see here behind me in oakland several buses have pulled up. we have seen several come and go in this area. but all signs if heft over the past couple of weeks is going to repeat itself, all signs point to a questionable

commute. now, all of this service trouble appears to be over an interim contract that was imposed on the drivers union a couple of weeks ago. a.c. transit forced it after three months of failed labor negotiations. drivers say it changes their schedules to a level where it's unsafe and impractical for them to fully comply. they say they are trying, but 15 to 20% of drivers have been calling in sick each day canceling or delaying many routes riders depend on. >> they are slower. they came like 30 minutes late this morning. i was late to work. >> i really depend upon the bus to take me to my medical clinic and saturday i was late to take my medicine, you know, because i'm disabled. >> reporter: an arbitrator will eventually help the two sides come up with the final deal, but in the meantime the interim contract stands depending on what the alameda county superior court judge decides as

soon as this morning. the whole court case was over an injunction that the drivers want. so whether or not they get that could be interesting because who knows what the union could do next. john. >> anne, thank you. anne makovec in oakland this morning. it is 5:34. in danville, a runaway pickup truck leaves destruction and injured people, and courageous witnesses helped stop the suspect don knapp on how neighbors intervened to help police. reporter: marks along the roads, traffic signs on the ground, tire tracks up on a sidewalk, a pylon covering the stump of a light pole knocked down and a mess to clean up. it's the debris path left by an out-of-control pickup truck driver along danville's danville boulevard and railroad avenue early today. resident jane joyce was there. >> we heard a guy yelling saying get out of the street, there is a guy that's run over two bikers and he is driving a

red truck and he's crazy, knocked over a pole and what not, and he's gone up the street here. >> reporter: the rider fared better than the bike he was priding on. he is out of the hospital and will be okay. police described the ride this way. the driver in the presumed dead pickup headed south on danville boulevard, hit the bicyclist riding in the bike lane, left him on the ground and kept going, striking a pedestrian who was further down in the bike lane and swerved into a traffic lane, colliding with a ford pickup truck and kept going. on to railroader a, where he ran up on the sidewalk and took down the light pole and kept going until he slammed into a lexus suv at linda mesa and came to a stop. residents held him for police. >> he was very much under the influence of something. he could hardly talk. his airbag deployed so obviously the impact on the front of the car was severe, and the airbag had deployed. so he was still driving the car

with the airbag, and they pulled him out. >> reporter: the driver is being held on a variety of charges including dui with great bodily injury, had the run, and driving without -- hit- and-run and driving without a license. don knapp, cbs 5. there is a new proposal on the table in hopes of getting some laid off firefighters back to work in san jose. about 50 of them lost their jobs friday after the union and the city couldn't agree on a concessions package. the firefighters union announced that proposal yesterday. it includes a two tiered retirement system for newly hired firefighters but the pay conception remains at 5.25%, far less than 10% that the city needs from the workers to help balance the budget. this comes as the city's new fire chief takes over today. that's willie mcdonald who previously served as fire chief of scottsdale, arizona. he takes over from the chief who retired in june.

union officials say mcdonald has some staffing ideas that could reduce overtime costs. it remains to be seen whether that could save enough to bring back some of those lost firefighters jobs or re-open the fire station on communications hill. a wildfire north of los angeles should be fully contained by this evening. that's if everything goes as planned. that fire has burned nearly 22 square miles of brush in the antelope valley. this since thursday. four homes and five outbuildings have been destroyed. yesterday, crews say they made a lot of progress. they contained 87% of the fire with the help from cooler temperatures and higher humidity. investigators believe that fire was sparked by someone working on a car wheel. in kern county, two men have been charged with misdemeanors for accidentally starting a wildfire near tehachapi. investigators say the fire began tuesday after the men cut a steel pipe that sent parks flying into nearby brush. that fire has burned more than 2 1/2 square miles, destroyed

23 homes, and 41 outbuildings. full containment is expected tomorrow. 5:38. engineers at the gulf oil spill are expected to take the final steps toward permanently closing the blown-out well within the next 24 hours or so. they could launch a static kill as it's known as early as tonight. this process involves shoving mud and cement into the blown- out well. meanwhile, some fishermen are worried that the government re- opened the area to fishing too soon. they are concerned that their catch could be oily or contain toxic dispersants. democrats are expressing confidence that their chance of keeping a majority in the house are not harmed by allegations against two long-time members of congress, including 10-term democrat maxine waters of southern california, accused of using her influence to secure $12 million of federal bailout funds for a troubled bank tied to her husband.

she denies any wrongdoing. she and new york congressman charles rangel could both face ethics hearings this fall. the midterm elections are also this fall. 65 seats are at risk of changing hands. most of them held by democrats. president obama told cbs news' harry smith the still struggling economy is also a hurdle. >> but i also knew this was going to be a bumpy road ahead and i don't expect the american people to be satisfied when we're only half of the way back. >> house speaker nancy pelosi says she is not nervous at all about the democrats' chances in november. some experts are telling us cities across southern california are going to end up paying for the pensions for municipal officials in the city of bell. that's where the excessive sal vis have led to a citizen revolt and purge of city leaders. more than half of city manager rob rizzo's $600,000 a year pension will be paid by

taxpayers in 140 small cities and special districts. that's because they are all in the same pension liability pool. jury questioning set to begin today in the drug conspiracy trial of anna nicole smith's doctors and her boyfriend, howard k. stern. a judge said questionnaires filled out by prospective jurors show most of them know something about smith's life and death. the doctors and stern have pleaded not guilty to conspiring to provide smith with large amounts of opiates and sedatives. they are not charged with her overdose death in 2007 in florida though. 5:40. pakistan is sending medical teams to the northwest part of the country out of the fear that cholera could spread after the deadly floods there. flooding has already killed up to 1200 people and forced two million others to leave their homes. many survivors say the government hasn't provided enough emergency help nearly a

week after monsoon rains started the floods. heavy rain and flooding in northeast china have left at least 100 people dead or missing. state media says tens of thousands of house are destroyed. floodgates on one dam were open this morning to release water that was swelling a reservoir. first lady michelle obama is urging congress to pass legislation mandating stronger nutritional standards for school meals. it would require more fruits and veggies and whole grains and less fat and salt. mrs. obama says the legislation would also help eliminate junk food in vending machines. in an op. ed. piece out today she writes, our prosperity depends on the health and vitality of the next generation. committees in the house and senate have approved two similar bills. 5:41. in case you missed it a look at chelsea clinton's big wedding and why the people of rhinebeck, new york, are a bit
