>> we are live in san jose where a man is fighting for his life after he was hit by a car driven by an uber driver. we will tell you about the impact to traffic right now. plus, lots of storms here in the bay area. lots of rain. and now lots of potholes all over the place. we will tell you about the emergency repair work that happened in livermore this morning that backed up traffic for miles. this is ktvu mornings on 2. >> 7:00. welcome to mornings on 2. take a look at the sky above the north bay in san rafael this morning. we see the twinkling of the lights of the cars going across

the bridge. a lot of clouds up there as well. we will talk about the weather. it is a very active week. we will bring in steve paulson in a moment. we welcome you back to mornings on 2. i'm gasia mikaelian. >> good morning. i'm dave clark. we will go to steve paulson. he will tell you what to expect and what we have. >> almost done. it is moving south pretty quick. there is still some wrapping back in lake county and northern napa county. the lull says i'll get going right now. closer to the coast, around the bay, clearing taking place rapidly you have towards guerneville, over to novato. into san francisco, there's not a lot here. just a ttlebit. it is close enough to the low where things are weakening on the san mateo coast. it is trying. it is moving south to big sur and almost san luis obispo. look at this coming in from the

sacramento valley. producing snow at the higher elevations. this is working into parts of middle town, highway 29. 30s, 40s on the temps. cold out there. the low will give us a little bit of a possibility of a thunderstorm. by late morning, early afternoon, we will be on the drier side as the system accelerates out of the picture. it is time that we get a break. we will after today. 50s on the temps. where would you like to start, sal? i know you have a bunch. >> we do have a bunch. i'm going to start with the bay bridge. it has been slow and we're seeing improvement. earlier we had a crash on the span. now it is cleared up. the maze, after an hour and a half of it being gone, it looking better. the carpool lane is slow there. but things were worse. let's look at the bay bridge toll plaza itself.

a 25 to 30-minute delay. nothing too bad. but if you are only a schedule, add another ten minutes. i would do that here. speaking of adding time to your schedule, if you drive on 580 from tracy into the central valley through this area, we had earlier pothole repair that was going on on the pass. they finished that. but traffic will still be slow. it is taking at least an extra time for you to get through this area. so it won't be the normal amount of time to drive through. please give yourself extra time there. 7:03. we are continuing to follow a developing story in san jose. the crash has shut down a section of one of the busiest streets in the city. janine de la vega joins us live along tulley road. >> reporter: tulley will be closed for another hour. you can see here is the intersection of tulley and

center. traffic is backed up because the westbound lanes are closed. it is shut down from 10th to center street. now, a car almost ran over one of the investigators who was here at the scene of the accident. the car actually drove through the scene. so make sure that you're careful. that driver ended up getting a ticket. now, let's go to video that we took earlier of the initial crash. police tell us that the pedestrian who was hit was j walking on tulley road and crossed in front of a car traveling in the westbound lanes. the driver that hit him, was on his way to pick up an uber fare. he ended up stopping to call for help. crews rushed the pedestrian to the hospital. he has life threatening injuries. >> while it is still under investigation, the driver indicated that he was traveling in the westbound direction when the pedestrian stepped out in front of him and didn't have time to avoid the collision. >> reporter: we don't know the identity of the victim. but we're told that he is a man

in his 60s. investigators say the driver was not impaired and wasn't talking on his cell phone when he hit the pedestrian. the traffic investigation team is still out here and taking measurements. but they know this is a busy thoroughfare that people use for the morning commute. they say they should have it opened up by 8:00 a.m. back to you. >> thank you, janine de la vega. the time is 7:05. a 16-year-old teenager was shot and killed last night just outside of the hayward city limits. it may have been a drive-by shooting. several shots were fired at 6:45 p.m. at princeton street and smalley avenue, about a mile from hayward city hall. the teenager was pronounced dead at the scene. so far there are no suspects and no arrests have been made. from here in the bay area all the way to southern california recent storms are causing major problems.

take a look. homes underwater. snow past car roofs. many communities are digging out and others are cleaning up after damage from fallen trees and sink holes as well. in the sierra, that snow just continues to pile up. some areas getting more than 20 feet of snow. governor brown has declared a state of emergency for most of california due to damage from recent storms and flooding. 50 of our state's 58 counties are in this emergency pro claimation. the rain we have been getting in the bay area has led to crumb willing roadways and potholes are opening up. they cause traffic jams and damage cars. crews just finished repairing a giant hole in the road that had a huge impact on the traffic. >> report: it backed up traffic in a big way coming

into the livermore valley. thankfully this pothole is all patched up now. just a short time ago, work crews finished filling up that hole that opened up in the lanes of 580. all of the lanes of the freeway are now back open. there are some residual delays. nothing like what we saw earlier this morning. drivers coming up and over the ultimate pass web on five -- westbound on 580 were backed up for miles trying to get into the livermore valley. crews were doing emergency repair work on a hole that opened up in the lanes yesterday. this actually happened along an elevated bridge section of the freeway. a worker told me that when he first got to the hole, you could see clear through the freeway all the way down to the ground below. now, after so many so strong storms here in the bay area, hundreds maybe thousands of potholes have opened up on freeways and streets across the area. caltrans says the problem is pretty significant and they're

trying to deal with all of the potholes as they come up. but obviously it will take a while to do repairs. now, according to a caltrans spokesperson, the big problem is rain water seeps into the asphalt and that creates fissures. also water wears away at the sand and gravel underneath the roadway until the asphalt finally gives way. >> it is at least as bad as we've ever seen. we've had a lot of rain falling very quicklyand very heavily. any time that you have so much precipitation so quickly, you will have a lot of potholes. >> reporter: and this particular sink hole in oakland that opened up along highway 13 in the southbound lanes, north of broadway terrace, was so large and so significant the chp decided to give him a name. this is steve. steve is five feet across. the hole initially ten feet deep. but they are getting rid of

steve fortunately right now. work crews are patching steve up, filling incompetent up. that particular pothole in oakland or sink hole, i should say, should be fixed and everything back open in time for tonight's commute in oakland. obviously you have, gasia, some of the larger potholes like this one in livermore and oakland. then the little ones will pop up on the road in front of you on the ride to work. it creates hazardous driving conditions. caltrans says it's a good idea to keep an eye out for them if you can. they can do damage to your car. >> yep. >> and make things dangerous. >> and expensive to fix. thank you, alex. all right. the time is 7:09. a call for more jobs in the auto industry. up next, the big meeting this morning between three automakers and president trump. and the executive order that may cause a big controversy. and still very slow traffic in many areas. if you are driving on 80 westbound it's been kind of

looking at traffic that is busy. we're also looking at traffic that is busy at the man patio -- on the san patio bridge. a truck slowed down traffic on westbound 92. let's move along to the bay bridge. as we mentioned, there has been a big backup. if you're driving there this morning, add another 10 or 15 minutes and you might actually stay on schedule. one of the slowest commutes of the entire morning has been 580 at the ultima pass. we had emergency pothole repair there. and traffic on 205 and 580 has been very, very slow in the area. we have seen slow traffic on 80 westbound because of earlier issues. 680 is okay but slow from 242 to the walnut creek interchange. today's weather, let's bring steve. >> thank you, sal. >> you're welcome. >> so close to being done with this system. it is hugging the coast. you can see a little bit of

rain still here. parts of marin county, san francisco, over the golden gate, western parts of the city, san mateo coast and a little bit wrapping back in from the valley towards northern napa county and also into lake county with low snow levels. the bulk is weak and accelerating rapidly out of the picture. it is moving quick. it is boot scooting as we say. there it goes. you can see right over the golden gate and the marina district, maybe towards stenson beach, light rain, light drizzle. not a lot because the bulk is accelerating, moving rapidly. you can see the heavier moisture is making an express lane trip towards central california coast, more towards san luis obispo and points south. coming back from from chico, sacramento valley, look at that, over highway 29 and clearlake as well. and it looks like northern napa county. not done yet here but we are

there was a chemical leak. so hazmat crews came out and tested for radiation, carbon monoxide and gas leaks and all of the tests came back negative. >> because it wasn't apparent what it was that the people died from. that's why we ended up calling hazmat, pg&e and the fire department to check in to what could have caused their deaths. it's still a mystery. >> reporter: the alameda county coroner's office is conducting autopsies and toxicology tests on the two deceased adults. but the officer with berkeley police told me this morning that investigators will wait for the results as they continue this investigation. but in the meantime, they will be considering the deaths that happened here as suspicious. back to you guys. >> thank you, allie rasmus, in berkeley. the time is now 7:33. in about 90 minutes from now, the family a missing 18-year- old woman may start to get some answers about what may have

here is a fun fact. since january 1st, rain is 24.78 inches. >> that is enough. we're ready for a break. it looks like we will get one. the low is moving rapidly out of the picture but still hugging parts of the coast a little bit. very little left right now. but some of that, some of the darker right there. western parts of city. going along south san francisco and maybe on san mateo coast, highway 1. it looks weaker and weaker with every passing minute. the heaviest cloud cover is now zooming towards central california, down towards san luis obispo and santa maria. this is the little piece of energy from the sacramento valley. you see that over highway 29, hidden valley lake. so we're not completely done but we're geing closer. 30s and 40s on the temps. san ramon, 37. 38 all the way to pleasanton. and even lafayette and walnut

creek book ends at 39. just a little bit of shower activity, light rain. the bulk of it is moving rapidly south. thank goodness. we need the break. we're going to get one. a weak system on late wednesday and thursday. early february, there are hints that the rain will come back. a few showers today. the worst is over for now. and then cold tonight and tomorrow. there will be some areas of fog. that's for sure. but the trend on the weekend, it should be nice by the coast and even warmer but dry, dave. >> thank you, steve. >> you're welcome. the time is 7:50. we have new information about the health of former president george h.w. bush. look at this photo. a touching tweet by one of his family members too. ?q

diagnosed as pneumonia. former first lady is 91. she was treated for bronchitis. doctors say it is possible that mr. bush may get out of the hospital on friday. the bushes' grant daughter tweeted that photo this morning along with a message. the power of love in a picture. doctors said they are each other's biggest strength in healing. thanks for your thoughts. back here at home, the san francisco board of supervisors has approved legislation that will make it harder for residential hotel owners to rent out rooms to tourists. supervisors say this ordinance will also help prevent the conversion of affordable housing into boutique rooms. it stops the practice of renting out single resident occupancy or sro rooms by the week requiring instead a 32-day minimum stay in most cases.

inland in other cities here. welcome back to mornings on 2, everyone. it is tuesday, january 24th. that beautiful sunrise right there. i'm mike mibach. >> and i'm gasia mikaelian. let's talk about the weather. more rain to get through. steve, there is a rainbow at the end of the week, if you will. >> and a dry pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. we need it. almost there, mike and gasia. still a little bit holding on. and now that some of the skies are clearing, we can see there is pretty good snow on some of the bay area peaks as well. this morning from lake observatory. snowy stt.weather service for nding that out. there was snow down to 2700 feet and i'm sure there is some up on st. helena. our system is accelerating very fast and keeping light precip or fog. i think sal will touch on that as well. mainly coast and bay. we're just about done. an isolated shower or two would probably be the extent of it.

the wind is turning more northerly. this is heading towards central california. the only thing is this system wrapping back to napa county and parts of lake county. over 29 st. helena there is snow there. all the way out to livermore and brentwood, concord, walnut creek, plenty of 30s. fog will be the big issue the next couple of moves. then the low dives into southern california. 50s on the temps. sal. >> it has been a tough commute. it hasn't been the greatest. we're getting through it. let's look at what we have with the bay bridge. you can see that traffic has been busier than normal because of earlier issues. and i have noticed this morning they have had a lot of people being pulled over here in the carpool lane. i think people have been trying to sneak through the carpool

lane. i have noticed they are doing enforcement here. chp doesn't mind us telling you, hey, pay attention. be in the lane you're supposed to be in and there won't be any issues. there you go. let's move along westbound 92 as you head out to the highrise. traffic is going to be moderately heavy as you drive out to 101. and when you get there, 101 southbound and northbound a little busy getting into mountain view and palo alto because of earlier crashes. a new crash in the danville area 680 at stone valley road. traffic driving from danville to walnut creek is going to be affected by this. see slow traffic in the area as well on 680 southbound from before 242. highway 4 is still pretty slow all the way through pittsburg and over the hill to concord. at 8:03, we continue following a developing story in the south bay which an uber driver hit a pedestrian very early this morning. the crash shut down a section of one of the busiest roads in the area.

>> reporter: sal, tulley road just opened up 120 minutes ago. it had been closed since about 3:40 this morning here near center road. the westbound lanes. this is where someone jay walked and got hit. police say the pedestrian was crossing right in front of a car, traveling on tulley. he was rushed to the hospital and suffering from life threatening injuries. an you knower driver was the one behind the wheel. he cooperated with police and said that the pedestrian stepped in front of the car. it doesn't appear that the driver was impaired or speeding at the time of the collision. we don't know the identity of the victim. but we're told that he is a man in his 60s. there is a crosswalk here at this intersection. police say this crash illustrates the importance of taking the time to walk to it because it really could save your life. in this case, this man is still at the hospital, unsure what

the condition is. but we know that he is fighting for his life. that's the latest that we got from police. back to you. back to you. >> janine, thank you. a 16-year-old teenager was shot and killed last night outside of hayward city limits. it may have been a drive-by shooting. several shots were fired at 6:45 at princeton street and smalley avenue. the teen was pronounced dead there at the scene. the investigation continues. so far there are no suspects and no arrests have been made. from here in the bay area alt way down to southern california, the recent storms are causing major problems. many communities are partly under water. people in other cities are cleaning up the damage from fallen trees and large sink holes. up in the sierra, the snow continues to pile up, with some areas seeing more than 20 feet of new powder. today, most of california is under a state of emergency because of damage from all of the recent storms. 50 of the state's 58 counties

are in this emergency alert. the state of emergency can help city governments get funding to clean up and repair damage from the storms. all the rain that we have been getting in the bay area has led to crumbling roadways and a huge number of potholes. these big holes like this one in the east bay have damaged vehicles and caused traffic jams. alex savidge has been in livermore all morning where crews just finished repairing a giant hole that opened up on interstate 580. >> reporter: well, this particular pothole caused a huge traffic jam early this morning, coming into the livermore valley. this hole opened up in the westbound lanes of 580 near north flynn road. crews finished repairing it a short time ago. but the backups, they continued for quite some time. early this morning, though, drivers were backed up for miles, trying to get into the livermore valley and up and over the ultimate pass. that's because cruise shut down one lane on the right-hand side

and doing emergency repair work after a hole opened up in the freeway yesterday. this happened along a bridge section of the freeway that is elevated. a worker told me that initially you could look through the hole and see all the way down to the ground below. after so many strong storms here in the bay area recently, hundreds, maybe thousands of potholes have opened up on freeways and surface streets. rain water tends to seep into the asphalt. and that creates fissures. the water also can wear away at sand and gravel underneath the roadway until the asphalt finally gives way. >> we know where some normal problems are. we predict where we will have a lot of potholes and other problems. but no place is immune. we're working hard to stay up with the problem. >> reporter: some sink holes are so big that they have been given named. the chp called this one steve. steve is about ten feet deep and opened up along highway 13

near broadway terrace a couple of days ago. they are expecting to have steve all patched up in time for tonight's commute. now, caltrans says overall they are still adding up all of the damage to roadways that was done by these recent storms. but it is clear that the price tag for repairs will be substantial. in livermore, alex savidge, ktvu fox 2 news. >> the time is 8:08. president trump is scheduled to sign more executive orders right now at the white house. several reports indicate he will take executive action to advance construction of the keystone xl and dakota access oil pipeline. both projects were blocked by the obama administration due in part to environmental concerns. the pipeline would run from canada to u.s. rye fine res on the gulf coast. thousands demonstrated against the dakota access pipeline in support of the sioux tribe who says it wod threaten drinking water and hiss tore al sites --

historical sites. the president told the automakers he is looking to ease regulations to help auto companies and any other business that's make their products in the united states. >> we're going to make the process much more simple for the auto companies and for everybody else that wants to do business in the united states. i think you're going to find this to be from very inhospitable to extremely hospit able. this bill would let states keep president obama's health care insurance plan or opt for a less expensive program with less coverage. the new plan would offer many of the popular features of the affordable care act such as coverage for those with preexisting conditions. they call it a work in progress. governor brown will swear

officials say a helicopter that was carrying an injured skier crashed into a mountain side in central italy, killing six people on board. this is new video here of that crash just into our news room. it is the latest tragedy in a region that experienced a number of recent earthquakes, heavy snowfall and last week's avalanche. the crash took place in the same mountain range as the avalanche but the two incidents are not considered related. there were reports of heavy fog at the time the helicopter crashed. at the avalanche scene, search crews found 7 more bodies near the resort town there in central italy. that brings the death toll to 14. 15 people are still reported missing. searchers are been walking side by side and poking the snow with poles to see if they can discover any more victims in the tons of snow and debris there. there are reports that the hotel operator had asked italian officials to evacuate his guests just hours before the avalanche hit his hotel. there is one bright spot

there with the rescue effort. the puppies were trapped under a hotel. rescuers pulled them out alive and well. apparently having a thick fur of coat paid off for them. the parents also escaped the avalanche and rescued right away. rains here, sal, have made for a tough commute, even when the roads are dry. potholes, sink holes, et cetera. >> that's right. a lot of slow traffic. i got a tweet from someone who says i have a day off. nice for you because you don't have to deal with all of this traffic. you can be at home and look at other people who are stuck. we do have people stuck out there in slow traffic. northbound 680 from danville to walnut creek there is a crash on the shoulder at stone valley road. 680 is slow from concord. highway 4 still very slow from pittsburg. late in the morning for that. but i guess that shouldn't surprise me. hercules to richmond on 80, a lot of slow traffic here. a late commute down to the bay

bridge toll plaza. let's take a live look at the bay bridge toll plaza and you can see they're waiting to do about a 20, 25-minute delay if you are driving into the city before you make it on to the span. let's take a live look at 280 in san jose. on the left, that is 2890 southbound. getting over to the san jose state exit. northbound 280 traffic is moderate. at 8:17, people watch us on their day off too, steve. >> that's good to know. sal, in san jose, did it just start up? i haven't seen that kind of a backup. >> i don't know for sure about san jose state. i know a viewer will tell me. san francisco state started yesterday. >> okay. >> it makes sense this could be -- that is definitely the san jose state backup. >> thank you, sir. all right. our system is moving rapidly. it is already turbo charged as it takes a path to southern california. here it comes.

flying down the coast. finally. i mean, i think the bulk of it has gone past us. we're on the drier side of it. we will keep a little bit of precip in here. too much dry air moving in. fog in the mix. favoring parts of the marin coast. san francisco, san mateo. but there's just not a lot left here. probably more show than go on this. very light green on the radar returns. could be a little bit along highway 1. but you can see where a majority is taking aim to the central california coast and san luis obispo and santa maria. a little bit over lake county. middle town. maybe calistoga, st. helena. but it is losing a lot of support as well. 40s on the temps. many 30s this morning. i think we will see a lot tonight and tomorrow and areas of fog unless the breeze kicks in and drier air. i think we're in for foggy conditions here and cold as

well. our system is just about done. all of the support and dynamics for it heading south rapidly. give you an idea of the size of the system as it impacts the entire west coast. as that moves across the country, this will be a major weather maker. that weak system right there, i don't think it will do much except give us clouds late wednesday and thursday. then the weekend looks very good. we will have to deal with fog. another couple of cool days. th all signs point to clearing out and warming up. we may see 60s by the weekend. >> shorts and flip flops. >> i'm board with that. new video from outer space. the up close look at pluto that took nasa nearly a decade to capture.

i'm at higher risktwice as likfor depression.troke. i'm 26% more likely to develop an irregular heartbeat. i have a 65% higher chance of developing diabetes.

for carbon monoxide poisoning. those also came back negative. the coroner's office are not releasing the names of the two victims. a next-door neighbor says the man and woman were married and have lived in the apartment for about 7 years. she believe they operated a business inside the home but she wasn't sure what kind of business. >> i know i complained about a generator going and there was an odor coming through our bedroom. it was like a smelly, rubbery odor. i called the police a few times but they didn't do anything. so, you know, they said call back when it is actually running. it would run for a couple of hours at night around 9:00. it was just really strange. you know. so i just don't know. >> reporter: a neighbor also told us it was a friend of the couple who worked with them who had walked into the apartment yesterday afternoon and discovered the man and one of the cats dead and called police for help. we don't know how long they had

been dead by the time they were discovered. there are autopsies and toxicology tests being conducted on the two adults. a spokesperson says until they get the results back, they will consider these deaths suspicious. >> we will look for an update. thank you, allie. starting in about 30 minutes from now, recovery crews will start to dredge up a car. they found what appeared to be a car in the water yesterday. the sheriff's office flew a drone that confirmed there were tires beneath the surface. >> we were working an area half a mile long. and the terrain is pretty rough. and so it literally was like finding a needle in a haystack. >> they believe the teenager collided with another car and went into the water. the road will be closed starting at 10:00 during the
