city's plans to clear those scooters off the street and a new plan for permits. >> announcer: this is ktvu mornings on 2. >> good morning. thanks for joining us here on this friday morning. before a holiday weekend may 25. i'm pam cook. >> i'm dave clark. we are also talking about rain in some areas. steve paulson in his office. >> where? oh, yes. that's napa. today is the one day you have to be concerned. sunday may even be warm. i don't want to say it's hard, but it will be warm rick there's some big-time thunderstorms and i'll show you those in just a second. michael is in the santa cruz mountains. light breeze, light drizzle. 49 degrees. that's not a lot going on. there's a little bit there. the mainline is out to the valley. and as it does, it's lifting north. just very, very close. that's wife today is the one

date where you have to be concerned. look at that coming in. out towards sacramento. it is lodi that things are going just bonkers out there. northern mendocino county some of that has moved in there from cover low northward. the sierra nevada is lit up big- time this money. there's even some high- elevation snow. there are watches and warnings out. a winter weather advisory is out. that goes until 5 am saturday. flash flood watches are up. that goes until this afternoon, this evening. so there's a lot going on in the mountains. that line going through the valley is really lit up. 50s on the temps here. low to mid. it has disrupted the fog bank. scattered showers. a few isolated thunderstorms. most of it is off to the north

and east. it's close enough. sunday, monday, will be warmer. today is the coolest day. monday will be the warmest. 60s, way below average. do we still have bad news? or is there anything good? >> you know what? the news is not good. all over the bay area, we're tracking a number of issues here. we have the crash in crockett. we are going to get to that in just a moment. we have leigh martinez at the scene of this accident. this is video here of a truck, a big rig that caught fire early this morning on northbound interstate 880 at right at hegenberger. and several lanes are blocked in the northbound direction for some time here. as emergency crews responded to try to put out that fire. we are working to get information on whether or not anybody was hurt in this case. again, this was a big rig that burst into flames early this morning on northbound 880 in oakland. right near hegenberger road. and at last check, the far

right lane was closed for the cleanup there. we will take you to a live picture, further up the road. right by oracle arena, and you can see traffic is moving along well. as you had passed the coliseum complex down oakland. i want to get you to the maps because we still have this major problem in crockett. and this is on eastbound interstate 80. several lanes, the two right lanes are still blocked because of an earlier big rig crash. this big rig crashed and burst into flames early this morning, right before the carquinez bridge. so it is causing a pretty serious backup of at least a mile or so, maybe more in terms of the slow down approaching this crash scene. again, eastbound 80, right before the carquinez bridge. with that being said, we have ktvu's leigh martinez. you sat in that traffic trying to get to that scene. leigh, you're live there with more on the investigation and cleanup. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. yes, it's a big mess out here. directly two accidents that emergency crews were dealing

with. the one that is causing the most problems is the first one that happened on interstate 80. that's the big rig accident. we do have that one left lane back open. they did have to do a temporary hard closure there because the tow trucks needed to move in position. the cleanup is taking a very long time. we do have that far left lane back open. now, 122 this morning, crockett carquinez fire units responded to a big rig crash and fire at panola -- pannonia street. hit the rubber and plastic barricades. the truck then overturned on its side and caught fire. the trailer separated from the truck and was stuck on the divider. chp credits a good samaritan for saving the lives of the truck driver. -- life of the truck driver. >> it was pretty major, so he got out, checked to see if the

driver was okay. when he did that, that's when the truck started to ignite. so he dragged him out of the actual because it was pretty much separated from the truck itself and then provided cpr at that time. >> reporter: the truck driver has major injuries and he was airlifted to the hospital. it was carrying canned pineapples. it spilled diesel fuel on that roadway. that is taking a significant amount of time right now. chp reported a two vehicle collision that happened just behind the closure. chp says a car struck a stopped big rig from behind that driver has major injuries. and was taken to kaiser hospital. we do not know the condition yet of that driver in the second car. again, the driver of the truck driver here in the first accident has major injuries. we have a three mile backup right now. again, only have the one far

left lane open. as soon as you start seeing signs that you're heading eastbound for the coming sky we panola street exit, that's when you're going to see the slow down. very slow crawl trying to get over to the carquinez bridge. the cleanup is what is taking the longest time right now. and chp expects all the lanes to be open not until about late 10:00 this morning. >> leigh martinez, thank you for the update. 6:06. later this morning, a ribbon- cutting ceremony by b.a.r.t. to launch the new b.a.r.t. extension to antioch, that service officially starts tomorrow morning. the new blue and white trains run on biodiesel. it will only travel between the pittsburgh bay point station and antioch. the goal is to use the traffic jams on highway 4 this morning at 11:00, a dedication ceremony for the antioch b.a.r.t. station will take place. b.a.r.t., by the way, is offering free rides. b.a.r.t., dublin and pleasanton line will not be extended into livermore.

that plan called for five and half mile extension from the dublin/pleasanton station east into livermore. supporters of the extension say that it would've helped to ease traffic congestion but critics say few writers would use it and the money would be better spent on other transit projects. 6:07. north korea is reacting to president trump's decision to cancel next month's summit with kim jong-un, saying he is still willing to meet at any time with president trump. doug luzader joining us live from washington. doug, what is the president saying about getting that meeting, that summit meeting back on track? >> reporter: well, you know, the president is reacting to what was a restrained statement from north korea expressing their hopes that the summit would actually happen. the president on twitter saying very good news to receive that warm and productive statement

from north korea. we will soon and see where it will lead. perhaps. but for now, at least, the summit is off. north korea released these new images this morning of leader kim jong-un inspecting a new railway, seemingly unconcerned about talks tracking down with the united states. >> i have decided to terminate the planned summit on june 12. >> reporter: he said he pulled out because of the north's renewed nuclear threat and bellicose language. they said the decision is regrettable and that north korea is ready to meet at any time at any format. north korea also blew up parts of a nuclear test site yesterday , seen as a measure of good faith, but no outside experts were on hand to verify the extent of the destruction. north korea wasn't responding to u.s. outreach in planning the summit. nancy pelosi saying that kim

jong-un came out ahead. >> he is the big winner. we got this letter saying, okay, nevermind. you must be having a giggle fit. >> reporter: this may just be diplomatic jockey. >> if and when kim jong-un chooses to engage in constructive dialogue and actions, i am waiting. >> reporter: and one side of the president's response in their yesterday. expressing hope that this summit will happen. on the other hand, he also expressed some anger about the tone that north korea has taken in recent weeks eight tone that seems to have changed overnight. >> what would it take to get that meeting back on schedule, any idea? >> reporter: probably more of the kind of language that we saw from north korea overnight. more expressions of hope that this summit will actually happen. we talk about the big turnaround here. a couple of days ago, not

screen official called vice president mike pence a dummy. that's how quickly things have changed here. >> all right, doug luzader live from washington. tesla ceo is back in the spotlight over tweets that some are calling antiunion. the group that is trying to unionize tesla's fremont plant has filed a complaint. honoring the men and women who serve our country. on memorial day, we tell you more about the tributes from around the country as we approach this holiday weekend. plus, the very busy on the roadways all over the bay area on this get away friday. and we are tracking a number of issues including a major crash on interstate 80 trying to get out of the bay area through crockett. we will tell you the details on that accident coming up.

1868, meant to remember the men and women who died while serving their country. welcome the warriors lost to the rockets last night. 98-94. they come back home and they are now on the brink of being eliminated. the warriors did not play the way fans are used to seeing them. kevin durant had 29 points. chris paul of the rockets scored 18 of his 20 points in the second half. he was on fire. there were several legal changes. the warriors had a chance to tie the game in the final seconds. but it did not happen. these two teams play against -- tomorrow night back home at oracle. it was tough for us warriors fans watching in the bay area. jason appelbaum was in houston. he has more on how the warriors are already looking to rebound. >> reporter: the rockets once again impose their game on the

warriors. as you can see, the warriors left the court battered and bruised following a tough 98-94 loss. down but not out. steve kerr and company perhaps surprisingly optimistic. >> i feel great. about where we are right now. that may sound crazy. but i feel it. we defended them beautifully tonight. we got everything we needed. and if we settle down a little bit, we will be in really good shape. >> i'm surprised, but it's a seven-game series for a reason. it's not time to panic. we had too many turnovers. these last two games are right there. go back and regroup at home and think about that game. it's far from over. >> you've been there before. it's always a good feeling. you know what it takes. and then what we put out there, he could have easily been two wins. >> reporter: the warriors will try to stave off elimination.

and the big question is, will chris paul play? he had a hamstring injury. highly questionable to play. in game six. if the warriors can win that game, we will be back here in houston on monday night for a game seven winner take all. reporting from houston, jason appelbaum, ktvu fox 2 news. >> thank you. the warriors are on the brink of being eliminated after losing game five of the western conference finals, which leads to our question of the day, which is how concerned are you about the warriors chances to move onto the nba finals? are you not worried at all? are you a little scared? are you totally freaking out? let us know what you think. vote on the ktvu tater page -- twitter page. you can also comment on our facebook page. >> no, they can do it. unfortunately, the friday commute has been a mess in

several spots. alex, we're getting word steve just yelled over here, problems on b.a.r.t. >> steve is absolutely correct. unfortunately, i hate to be the bearer of more bad news. we've had a ton of questions on the freeways. good start very early this morning. now an issue on b.a.r.t. they have major delays between the bay fair station and the san leandro station on the fremont line in both directions because of someone who is on the tracks. unauthorized person who is on the tracks. doesn't sound like this person has been hit by a train. hopefully that's not the case. but they have someone on the tracks. they are obviously trying to deal with that situation. so we have major delays now on b.a.r.t., on the fremont line, in both directions between the bay fair station and the san leandro station. let me talk about the other big issue we've been tracking all morning long. that is the crash here in crockett. this has shut down the two right lanes of eastbound

interstate 80 right before you get to the carquinez bridge. as you can see there you have the cars getting by in that far left lane. only and right now we have cleanup going on after an earlier big rig crash. this big rig overturned in the middle of the night and burst into flames. one person inside that truck was seriously hurt. there you see the wreckage of that rig after it was pulled away from the scene. but again, major cleanup operation following this big rig crash. now, there was a secondary crash as a result of that degree crash. so just up the road, also on eastbound 80 in the crockett area, this crash happened shortly after that first big rig accident. and we have just learned from the chp that one person was killed in that crash again to a secondary crash, a car apparently slammed into a truck in that area. and one person was taken to the hospital. and later died. so obviously, a major investigation and a major

cleanup happening on interstate 80 in the crockett area. so keep that in mind. as you head out the door, better news here in san francisco. a better look at highway 101. and that is an okay right getting up into downtown san francisco. at 6:19 in the morning. >> you thought you were going to have an easy friday. >> i was hoping. >> that didn't happen. sorry, alex. but thanks for the update. pretty good dennis doan activity. we have major showers. a lot of cloudy, mostly cloudy skies. today is the one date you need to be concerned if you're going to bottle rockets, because there's a lot of cloud cover. it's cool, and there are showers in the area. sunday, warm. we go from a very cool, cloudy, really close here. some of these coming from fairfield and vacaville. out to the family. there are some big thunderstorms. look at that. erupting out by rio vista. that's a major line there.

filed that complaint with the national labor relations board. in a tweet, elon musk said there was nothing stopping tesla workers from joining a union but he adds, quote, why pay union dues, give up stock options for nothing. the union says musk is illegally discouraging workers from joining a union. other car companies who don't provide stock options. response san francisco city leaders are taking steps to regulate those electric scooter rental companies. they are ordering the companies to take all their scooters off the streets and start over. a permit process was created as part of a one-year pilot program. motorized scooter companies will have to stop all operations by june fourth. after that, they can apply for one of the new permits.

commute. b.a.r.t. problems. freeway problems. alex should know what's going on. you should know that there's a little bit of drizzle and rain. suspect there is some rain. thunderstorms in the valley. big-time. it's close for us. not there yet. we've had some light rain. most of it, again, north and east. mostly cloudy. showers today. thundershowers. the sierra is really going crazy. today, if you're going to bottle rocks, maybe it will miss napa, but it's close enough. cloudy, mostly cloudy, 64. tomorrow will be fine. sunday looks warm. we will go from one extreme to the other. boy, is it close. out toward the eastern napa county. interstate 80 and out to the valley. i mean, things are really lit up there. you can see from sacramento back to rio vista. some of that activity has lifted well north. farther north in the sierra. all sorts of issues here. big thunderstorms along with winter weather advisory.

up in the higher elevations. that goes for five em for snow. flash flood watches are out in the green. look at the line, though, that's informed right there that stretches back in the valley. that's what i mentioned that for bottle rocks. i don't want to say it won't make it. there's a little bit going on. a couple related -- little isolated cells. not a lot going on with this low yet. as it begins to smooth over us, that could stabilize things. very, very cool. 6:32. i think we could do a half hour show. but you have a lot to say. >> absolutely. a lot of issues on the roads. and we are still tracking the problem on b.a.r.t. this morning. [ inaudible ] reporting a person on the tracks between the bay fair fit -- station and the san leandro station on the fremont lot. they have stopped trains in both directions. obviously police and firefighters came in to try to deal with this particular

situation. it's a little unclear where things stand right now as -- at last check, they had both of the bay fair station and the cn -- san leandro station closed. so if you're using b.a.r.t. , consider that there are some significant delays. maybe as long as 20 minutes trying to get through that area. so keep that in mind. now we take you to the roads, where there still is a major problem on interstate 80 and eastbound direction in crockett. where a lane is open in the eastbound direction as crews continue to clean up after a major big rig crash this morning. a big rig caught fire after it rolled over in the early morning hours. the driver of that big rig was pretty badly hurt, we understand, in this crash. on top of that, there was a secondary crash in the same area that did leave one person dead. a car crashed into a truck approaching the scene of the initial accident. so obviously, a lot of

investigative work and cleanup work to do in that area. you see crews trying to get those other lanes back open. the chp has been telling us they may not get all the lanes we open until 2:00 this morning. veteran is here at the bay bridge toll plaza. very light traffic trying to get into san francisco at this hour. that is good news. if you're going to work in the city, and finally, highway 4, somewhat busy there in the westbound direction. as you leave bay point getting into concord. 6:34. dave, back over to you. new this morning, a restaurant explosion in canada last night injured at least 15 people. the search goes on right now for at least two suspects. it happened near toronto. indian food restaurant just after 10:30. there's a surveillance photo. this one right here. showing two suspects walking into the restaurant. witnesses say that men dropped an improvised explosive device then ran away. so far, still not clear if this was a terror attack or a hate

crime. the investigation goes on. it has been seven months since the north bay wildfires. today, they are putting the finishing touches on the first house to be rebuilt in the coffey park neighborhood of santa rosa. that's where frank mallicoat is this morning. you've been there often on over the past seven months. how are people feeling out there? >> reporter: i got to tell you, this homeowner is feeling mighty good because he is the very first house. to give you an idea of what it looks like, you can see some of the new homes kind of sprouting up. there's still quite a few mp -- empty lots. eight months since the fire ravaged coffey park. four people died in that neighborhood. 1200 homes were lost, including dan bradford. you get a nice birdseye view of his beautiful home, which he is about to move into. dan, come on out, if you can. dan moved in here about a year ago. and i guess the process has

worked out fairly well. how do you feel about moving in? >> is static. it's been a long haul. i'm ready to get back. >> reporter: take us through the process. there were a lot of folks clearing their properties. for you, apparently, it was pretty easy. >> i wouldn't say easy. but things just kind of fell in place for me. i met a contractor who is experienced in doing fire rebuilt. we got are permits issued quickly. my foundation tested out to be good. we were able to utilize the existing foundation. and they started december 29. holiday weekend. guys were out here working. >> reporter: you must feel blessed that really. >> blessed, lucky, everything i had my blueprints, everything has fallen in place for me. >> reporter: can you give us a quick tour? what's interesting, then lost everything. everything in the house, the clothes on his back is brand-

new. a lot of furniture being delivered, that kind of thing. >> okay yeah. i've had furniture delivered. the tax are still on it. i didn't want to pop those off until i actually occupied the home. this used to be the kitchen that you're looking at their. we moved it to the back of the house and opened the whole area to make it one big open space. >> i know it's a heck of a process that you've been through. >> everything is new. except i got out of here with a pair of jeans, a pair of tennis shoes, and a t-shirt. >> reporter: talk about that night. >> i remember the winds. i was nonchalant about it, thinking that i would be back in a few hours. and that changed when i got down the street and i saw that mass a good this and the -- mass exodus and the explosion of the propane tanks. it's like starting all over. everything that you've had from some of the stuff as a kid is gone. now it's like, oh.

>> reporter: today, 2:00, the mayor will be here to kind of cut the ribbon on the free -- very first house. >> that's very cool. it is a big milestone, i think, for the committee. but for all of the victims of that burned who lost homes. >> reporter: other neighbors, mostly rebuilding? >> it's hard to tell right now. and the people arrived talked to , i would say 50%. that i've talked to to personally are rebuilding. >> reporter: you got to buy sheets, towels, the whole works. that's dan bradford. this is is brand-new home. there you go. very first one here in coffey park. more coming up in our next hour. let's send it back to the desk. >> i'm curious, he said he was talking to other neighbors. maybe they are going to

rebuild. has he heard -- is there a feeling that this is giving hope that maybe some people were on the fence that, okay, it will start feeling more like a neighborhood and dale rebuild? >> reporter: let me ask that question. one of my anchors asked, is there a sense of hope because the first house is completed now? >> i -- absolutely. i think that sense of hope started when the first piece of wood started going vertical. people giving thumbs up and total support and i think from the very beginning of the building, it's given hope. >> reporter: and a lot of folks, as we saw, are going to the process. good for you. congratulations. more coming up. pam and dave, we will send it over to you. >> you, frank. and thank you for sharing that. we have an update on a new b.a.r.t. extension into the east bay. coming up at 7:00 the big moment later today if you live in the antioch area. and bottle rock kicks off today in napa. more on some of this big act to take the stage and you might be
