6:34 am
down glen road when a 19-year- old man made the split second decision to jump on the outside of the vehicle and take a ride. he jumped on the driver's side, traveled less than 100 yards according to police when he lost his grip and fell off of the suv. he died almost instantly from hitting his head or getting run over or a combination of the two. the police are letting the coroner sort that outline out. police are still trying to figure out exactly what led up to this as well as how fast the suv was going. they say that this does not appear, though, to be a case of what's known as car surfing. they say it's more of a planned event when somebody would try to ride on top of the car, that this just appeared to be a 19- year-old who decided to jump on the side of the car to take a ride. he called it just a split second decision that led to a, quote, horrible tragic accident. now, the coroner is going to have to determine again the exact cause of death and identify this young man. all we know right now is that
6:35 am
he was 19 years old and from alamo which is a nearby town here to danville. we have also heard reports that maybe the group of young people was looking for a party at the time. but that's all we know. juliette? >> all right, anne makovec. thank you. also, three separate shootings within three hours last night in oakland. a total of four people hit. their conditions ranging from serious to stable. the first shooting happened just before 9:00 p.m. last night near arroyo recreation center. a man and a teenager were injured. about an hour later another person was shot in an attempted robbery near the berkeley border and just after 11:00 another person shot near market and san pablo. that person now in critical condition. eight people are dead, a dozen more injured, they were in the mojave desert to watch the california 200 race outside lucerne valley. that's about 100 miles northeast of los angeles. the race was on federal land when a truck in the race flew a
6:36 am
jump, lost control and went into the crowd. the bureau of land management says it was up to the race organizer to make sure it was safe. but no one cannot spectators from standing right beside the racecourse. the father of one of the victims was worried about that. >> i told my daughter to stay back, don't get close. most of the race had a border to where you stood behind to keep people back. from what i understand this did not. i talked to a deputy sheriff. he said this was one of the worst conditions he had seen, no blockage to stop the people. he even said kids were trying to touch the trucks as they went by. >> a complete interview can be seen late there are morning on "the early show." the driver of the truck was not hurt. he is not being charged in connection with the deaths. all right. 6376. a concord man is in custody suspected of planting pipe

bombs at a city park. the concord police bomb squad was able to safely detonate all three explosives after they were found last month at newhall park. police say an informant supplied information last week. that led investigators to the montana drive home of timothy david wilson on saturday. >> they contacted him as he walked away from the residence. they determined he is under the influence of a controlled substance. they arrested him for that. they contacted a judge in contra costa county and secured a search warrant. >> police say a search of wilson's home turned up gunpowder and other materials consistent with the pipe bombs found at the park. a neighbor told the contra costa times officers had raided that house a few times in the past. wilson is at county jail in martinez with bail set at $730,000. federal agents are now investigating a fire that gutted a post office in sonoma county. this fire burned for almost 7
6:38 am
hours saturday in healdsburg. the fire chief says the flames were tough to fight because the fire had made it way into the roof line of the building. at this point, it's not clear how that started. two firefighters were injured but they are expected to be okay. a san jose elementary school will start the new semester on time this morning despite a destructive fire on campus that happened just weeks ago. kcbs radio's matt bigler joins us now from trace elementary school to explain how the san jose unified school district has pulled it off. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you guys. yeah, this is a pretty amazing story. it was just last month there was a huge fire in this multiclassroom building right in the middle of the campus. this morning, for the first day of school, it's now been completely removed that rubble cleared out that would have been a safety hazard for kids. it's been fenced off and students will be going to school for the first day of classes this morning. a lot of them will be going to these portables. they are just across the way that you can see. but across the street, this is where the school district has
6:39 am
set up basically this compound of portables so the students can return to the same campus and still continue to go to school while the building is under construction. a few minutes ago we saw welding going on, on fence across the way. they are rushing to make sure it happens in time for students. we spoke with the school superintendent with the san jose unified school district. he says they have been able to pull this off with a huge outpouring of support from the community. >> still receiving donation both from the community and from a different business that has come in. the teachers received 100 gift cards from office max so that they would be able to go out and buy materials to resupply their classrooms. >> reporter: the fire that happened here just after the 4th of july last month, that is still under investigation. they determined the san jose fire department determined it was arson. so far no suspects have been arrested. they are still looking for tips
6:40 am
from the community. if you know of someone who may have been connected to this fire, the fire department would really appreciate that information. we also want to mention that classes are also resuming today in san francisco so a heads up to drivers. some school districts are going back to class this morning. i'm matt bigler live in san jose for cbs 5. >> hey, matt, thank you very much. it is 6:40. stock market struggling to get back on the plus side. we have moneywatch when we come back. >> plus, speaking of money, sylvester stallone, yes, he is back. and he is back on top of the box office. we'll tell you how much his latest movie brought in over the weekend when we come back. ,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

6:44 am
metering lights have been on for 10 minutes so the only delays we are seeing are in some of the fast traffic lanes, just minor delays but it is a little sluggish up the incline. all of your approaches still look great though. no big issues. a little bit of slow traffic as you can see from our live sensors through berkeley. no big hot spots. more congestion out of the altamont pass. drive times continue to grow. 20 minutes now from the altamont pass out towards the dublin interchange. and we can show you actually a bit of a delay here especially in the left lanes approaching tassajara. so gets slow once you get closer to 680. and highway 4, ugly commute. but it's always kind of bad through here. a street through somersville hugging around 15 miles per hour. if you are commuting in the south bay out of downtown san jose looks great, two thumbs up very light on 280 and 101
