eta. originally was 4 to 5 hours. but right now they're telling me it could be an all day thing. and again, you can see those lanes closed and those cars all merging towards the left side to get on to 8.80. but again, those southbound lanes completely closed off. so we'll take a look at our traffic maps again. and i want to show you guys before you get to that actual incident. there's another traffic collision just before that. this is over in castro valley area. and it's right near the strowbridge avenue. those lanes are currently closed off. it's westbound lanes of 5.80. there's been an accident. chp is trying to get that cleared up. hopefully within the next 30 minutes to an hour or so. so overall is going to be a backup if you're heading from livermore dublin area and you can already see that on our maps. but taking a live look right now at the bay bridge currently from the maze to fremont street. a 24 minute commute. those metering lights do not appear to be on a live look at the san mateo bridge. 24 minute commute on to the peninsula and over by the

richmond, sandra fell bridge. we're dealing with another traffic collision. westbound 5.80. it's east of castro street. so before you get onto that bridge, just keep that in mind. you are going to see some of those delays. but once you get to the bridge is a 13 minute commute over. i will send it over to john in the weather center. thanks so much, michael. i know a lot going out there on the roads this morning, but >> fortunately for us, mother nature is not compnicating things anymore. we are looking at a little bit of fog towards the coast and hey, that's about it. what we got out the golden gate bridge, there's that probably won't last for long at the golden gate, but you will see a persistently so near the coastline, sunshine elsewhere and temperatures yet again, bumping upwards into those 80's and upper 70's for a lot of inland spots. 40's to 50's right now temperatures are on the rise. it's going to take a minute to get to those warmer conditions, though. if you love just or day, i'm imploring you to enjoy today as much as you can because it's the last of that real summer feel before we way cool down into the weekend and it

all kicks off tomorrow. i'll talk more about your forecast. back to you. >> thank you very much, john. all right, 803. let's get to the breaking news this morning. you see oj simpson on the screen. we're getting word from his family this morning that he has died at the age of 76. according to a post on x posted on his account by his family, they say, quote, on april 10th, our father or in fall, james simpson succumb to his battle with cancer. he was surrounded by his children and grandchildren during this time of transition. his family ask that you please respect their privacy and they ask for the grace is well now the former nfl player, as some of you may know, was actually born and raised here in san francisco. he grew up in a patrol hill neighborhood graduated from galileo, high school, obviously known for his exceptional nfl career. but then also later in life, as you see the pictures on the screen. being accused of that double murder of his ex-wife, nicole brown simpson and her friend ron goldman. he was ultimately acquitted in the

criminal trial, although he was found liable in the following civil trial. and that has plagued the rest of his life. he played 11 seasons with the nfl primarily with the buffalo bills, although he did retire in 1979 as a san francisco forty-niners. you might remember the trial is just mention known as the trial of the century lasted nearly 9 months and was also one of the most watched events in television history. so on april, 11th, again, we are reporting that oj simpson has passed away from cancer at the age of 76. >> we're following this throughout the morning. >> also got some more breaking news to get to this morning after a test in the hospital now with life-threatening injuries after being hit by a car this morning out in san jose crash happened just after 5 20 run in the area story road and roberts avenue. police say traffic will be severely impacted because they blocked off eastbound story road from robert avenue to the avenue. officers are urging drivers you want to use

alternate routes while they investigate the crash at 805. let's go to the south bay now where traffic continued to plague the city of san jose. 13 people died in car crashes so far this year. we're only in the month of april and city leaders are blaming the wide roads. the speeding that seems to be chronic. we actually talked with the mayor about what the city is doing to try and prevent these deaths in kron. four's jack moment has the story. from a fatal crash on monterey road in january. >> to a man who spent months trying to recover but ultimately died in april after he was hit by a car off mckee wrote, we do everything right. >> we follow all the rules we wear bright clothing. and still, we have a lot of those polls. max siegel with the organization, families for safe streets says even when walking his daughters to school, it's just too close for comfort a close call can be. >> not paying attention to the intersection. san jose keeps track of its car crashes on a public database so far this year we have seen twice as many fatal car crashes

compared to just this time last year. so many of the through ways that run through san jose rack up quite a few deaths from bad data set. but none may be more dangerous that monterey road, which between 2018, 2023 logged 6 teen road fatalities here. when we just almost saw someone get right now that we're acts off the corner of monterey and tully and has been shot. >> cars driving into the bike lane. they're supposed to be separated by these posts. new work towards. designing our streets holistically. a public data also shows san jose's years long campaign to improve its roads like installing those bike lane markers and transforming final through ways in the summer. i grew up on this section of brandon road right here. a couple decades ago. you had 3 lanes and 3 lanes of cars going within 40 miles an hour in the city of san jose. recognize the problem here ended up reducing it to 2 lanes to 2 lanes and added in protected bike lane. one death one too

many when it comes to our roadways, people should feel safe. san jose mayor matt mahan says the projects are improving streets slowly but surely infrastructure projects are expensive and then the staff and actually carry them out there says he wants to hire more police officers, 4 enforcement and even the potential addition of security camera automatically issue first a warning. and then after the first 6 months a ticket, max says the city should not only focus on police staffing. >> but the design of the roads themselves. and so we need again to have a design, a design, our streets. >> that encourages people and forces people to behave better. now there's some funding set aside to improve. king wrote that's an east side, san jose and yet another statistically dangerous road in the city. >> now regarding the security cameras, the mayor says that if city council approves those cameras, they would start with around 30 of them and placed them around school zones in the newsroom. i'm jack moment. kron 4 news. >> happening today, oakland international airport could at san francisco to its name.

obviously a controversial move that this afternoon the port of oakland is set to take a vote on that. san francisco officials, as you can imagine, not too happy about that fact. they're threatening to take the whole thing to court. kron four's will tran live at the oakland airport for now morning. >> least for now. but you know what this play might take off this afternoon. but the next destination will be a courtroom because san francisco has already threatened. if you change your name from metropolitan oakland international airport, which technically you might not know this, but metropolitan, it's the first word in oakland international that people call it open international. if you put san francisco bay in front of it, we'll see you in court. so right now it is still oakland international for the common people ride the common folk. we call it oakland international. but the part of a port of oakland, their executives who run this, they believe to clear up the confusion they want to add san francisco bay and they say reason being oakland

technically sits on san francisco bay that 60% of the population that big big population in the bay area resides in the east bay. and that is oakland. they also say that people from oakland, the residents are quite comfortable putting the words san francisco in front of their hometown. oakland. they don't have a problem with it, they say. but san francisco does. san mateo county. they also have a problem as well because sfo sits and san mateo county. so nobody on the other side of the bay is happy about this. it's supposed to clear up confusion, but i talked to a traveler. she believes if you put san francisco bay. well, that adds another confusion for those wondering which san francisco. >> i can understand from people coming out of town that it would feel may be confusing. so i don't have a strong opinion better, but i can understand the concern that would be confusing to people. get in the bay area.

so big and a large that to call it san francisco, just if you don't know anything might confuse you. okay. so obviously nobody owns the words. san francisco, it's public domain. but according to city attorneys for the city >> of san francisco, they say sfo owns the name san francisco and they say that if they change into san francisco bay, it's basically infringing on that particular copyright and they plan to take that before a judge. james reyna, the army is even if oakland changes their name to san francisco bay, their code will still a k and just add one more bit of irony on this san francisco, san francisco international is not in san francisco. it's in san mateo county. back to all right. thank you very much, miles and pieces here. all is the time. also the news today. we have some uncertain times for a

once popular san francisco barbershop. >> the owner of blades co barbershop says that before the pandemic, they had a bustling business on columbus avenue right there in the financial district. but now they're seeing just a fraction of their old customer base. and they say that's largely because of people working more and more from home. now. they've started a gofundme page to try and keep their business alive. and this follows the recent painful decision to close or other shop out in walnut creek. >> it's probably one of the hardest things i've ever experienced in my life. they. set back from covid in. people may think it's over, but it's not over for us. you know, in a lot of other small businesses. >> well, the owner says the financial hardship has also kept them from expanding into the mission. rock development out near oracle park. they say they're hoping to get through these turbulent times by raising at least $100,000. we'll see what happens. still ahead on the kron 4 morning news. a live music venue in oakland is also at risk of

closing because of recent burglaries. now the owner says crime is making people scared crime is making people scared to come to his business. (♪♪) (♪♪) (♪♪) (♪♪) get exclusive offers on select new volvo models. contact your volvo retailer to learn more.

>> we are back 8.14, is the time. want to get back to that hot spot. yeah, it has been causing quite the delay over the east bay. michael thomas is that covered. good morning, michael. >> hey, good morning, everyone. that's right. we are starting to see major delays. it's been like this since about 4 5 o'clock this morning. it's at the connector of to 38 northbound and 8.80, southbound lanes. you can see it's closed off completely. and you see lots of congestion and back up. in fact, i believe we have a photo of what the so we've got a live look right now of what the

scene looks like. so a big rig actually tipped over early this morning at around 3 o'clock in the morning. crews have been trying to essentially not only get it off of the road, but also clean up the fuel that had been spilled from it. so you see crews there. chp says when it comes to an eta of when the connector will be back open or when you can get back on to 80 southbound. they have no eta as of right now. so we're going to be on this all morning covering napa, taking a look at our maps. you can see there's even more congestion because there's also a traffic collision before you get to that connector. this is in castro valley of tears strowbridge avenue ending on westbound lanes. 5.80. that collision happened about an hour ago. so we're seeing some of those residual delays. we take a look at what the entire delays we may see in the long run will right over towards dublin livermore. it's starting to back up just a tad bit. so if you're heading out towards 8.80, you may want to actually take 6.80, in response to beat any of those delays. taking a look at some drive times right now, crockett to the maze. 31

minutes, walnut creek to 5, 80 15 minutes. castro valley to the maze. 3rd, 23 minutes. stanley under to the maze. 22 minutes and keep in mind, some of those may be affected because of that overturned big rig. once you get to the bay bridge. it's a 25 minute commute over. traffic does seem to be flowing right now. taking a look over in the south bay area, san jose to menlo park. a 55 minute commute. 101 does seem to be moving smoothly. no out of ordinary delays that we normally don't see those who are heading to cupertino from san jose. it's a 19 minute commute as of right now. and lastly, some drive times for those who are a little bit more inland. and again, keep in mind, these may be changing because of that big rig that's overturned livermore to dublin. 17 minutes, dublin to fremont. 28 minutes. san leandro to milpitas 34 minutes and milpitas to sunnyvale. 10 minutes johnell turned it over to you. thanks, michael. i know a lot going out there on the roads this morning and you can see highway 24 here under the sunshine. >> making its way between berkeley and walnut creek in

until after 10:00pm. so you're dry during the day on friday. but friday night things will start to get wet. heaviest of rainfall moves mostly after midnight with some really strong winds, too. so pretty stormy late friday night into early saturday, pre-dawn hours on saturday, seeing some snow on our bay area mountaintops. by the time you're waking up on saturday morning, we actually do get a bit of a breather from all that before rainfall researches midday saturday and even an opportunity of thunderstorms later in the day on saturday. so capitalize on that calm morning on saturday. the rest of the day gets kind of dicey. we'll see a half an inch to an inch of rainfall across the bay area. most of this on saturday. so not the day to plan a whole lot outside. today is the day to plan a lot outside 60's and sf as well as at the coastline. most of the rest of us really rising well into the 70's foster city at 71 mountain view at 77 south bay. temperatures in the low 80's this afternoon and looking at the same low 80's well as danville up to ley as

protected by chp these ways. and i don't feel like there's. >> again, like i it worries me of something bigger chp control this. what can they do? even though there were multiple sideshows around the same time in the bay area this weekend, chp is still investigating to determine if they are linked in any way reporting in san francisco. i'm rob nesbitt kron. 4 news. >> thanks, rob. well, coming up after the break, i've got details about some major delays we're seeing in the east bay will have traffic times for you and

>> all right. we're back 8.45. is the time. let's get hack to the traffic center. that big problem on the on the roads in the east bay. yeah, michael thomas has been there for a few now michael. yeah, good morning, everyone. this is actually been a problem since 5 o'clock this morning when we first got in its right at the connector of 8.80, on the southbound lanes where it needs to 38 northbound. so those southbound lanes trying to get on 8.80, southbound completely closed off. the northbound lanes are still open, but we've seen major backups all morning and we have a live look right now of what the scene looks like. so just to give you some background early this morning, a big rig actually tipped over. and chp says the driver fell asleep which caused t to tip over. so now they're trying to not only get that big rig back on its wheels, but also clean up all of the oil and fluids that are there on the floor. so hazmat is on the scene and again, that lane completely closed, no eta. originally, they told us 5 hours as of right now, it could be like this all day will go back to our traffic

map so i can go ahead and show you in addition to that, once you get towards that area, you're going to deal with another traffic incident. it has been cleared up. chp tells me, but we're still seeing residual delays. it was right in castro valley at the strowbridge avenue. and again, it just got cleared up. but we're still seeing a lot of those residual delays. taking a look at the points leading up to those delays in close road will livermore to dublin. 19 minute commute. you see 5.80, is very, very much backed up in multiple areas that we normally don't see some drive times. for those of you who are heading to the maze crockett to the maze 30 minute commute, walnut creek to 5, 80, 60 minute commute. castro valley to the mains. 26 minute commute. stanley under to the maze. 33 minute commute again. these are all being impacted by that big red. once we get to the actual maze at bay bridge right now to get into the city, only a 13 minute commute. so not too bad. taking a look over in the south bay. 54 minutes from san jose to menlo park. 101 does look good. this morning. some small pockets of congestion.

but nothing too out of the ordinary. lastly taking a look at san jose to cupertino. it's an 18 minute commute. so we'll continue to keep an eye on that big rig that's tipped over. but as of now, it looks like it may be the case all day, jonathan, that you rough situation there on the east bay shoreline. well, we are looking at good weather, at least as some of us may be waiting in traffic for a little bit longer this morning. >> this is san jose right here. looking great with that sunshine overhead. still nice and cool and crisp out there this morning. but she got another daytime high in the 80's just around the corner much as the rest of us do as well, especially further inland, cool coastal conditions got that marine layer at the coast, keeping those areas cool dry for the rest of the state to high-pressure ridge been contributing to this nice warm-up. we've been in the midst of but that low to our north, the dives deep starting tomorrow really begins to cool us off and we can time it out hour by hour. so today, nothing but the sun. beautiful day ahead of us tomorrow. deep in marine layer, cool air pushing in across the region. most of our rainfall tomorrow

was going to move well after the sun goes down tomorrow night. so you got a dry friday. it's evening hours. we'll start to see those showers. so if you're going to be out late tomorrow night, this is what you'll be out late in right around one 30 in the morning. some of our heaviest of rain moving on to the peninsula and then through the rest of the bay during the rest of our predawn hours on early saturday morning here you see some mountain snow fall back in the bay area to as that cold air plunges in. we'll get a brief break from the rain as you're waking up on saturday morning. good chance to take the dog out. walk around the neighborhood a bit before resurgence into the middle of the day and even a chance of thunderstorms for the latter half of your saturday. so you get the picture here. saturday is the coolest one, the most active one the day. you want to plan some indoor activities and maybe a little less outside rainfall on saturday will be around a half an inch to even an inch in many spots. now today, on the other hand, no rain, no cool. just yet musher right along the coast in which case bring those jackets on terror and pacific at

elsewhere, though, it's 70's to 80's for daytime highs. super pleasant feeling forecast yet again for especially the bayshore and downright warm for areas further from the bay. san jose. 82 livermore. 81 today, hayward and san leandro. you'll be mid 70's. well, danville, the concord, antioch, to pittsburgh vacaville, the fairfield all in the low 80's. looking ahead to tomorrow's temperatures will slip into the upper 60's at the warmest in by saturday. it's just 50's with showers. only for one day, though, will slowly climb out of that into next week. rain and james. right, john, thank you for that. well, for your local election headquarters and to request full recount of the made in the race to replace congresswoman anna eshoo. yeah. as we know right now, we've got a tie between evan low and joe submit ian. so there. >> battling it out for second place to make it on the november ballot. we know that at this point and car is in first place. he's already there. what's going to happen in this second place? race and grover scattered rain and takes a look.

>> it seemed both have been low and show some of the in were willing to accept the recent surprising news of a two-way tie. their teams not talking about an expensive recount. former san jose mayor sam liccardo is already safely in first place. now santa clara county officials tell me they are being asked to do a manual recount, something that could begin as soon as monday. the approximate cost $32,000 a day lasting, maybe 10 days. so. >> who's asking for there's allegation that one of the people requesting the recount to socially with liccardo who actually would benefit from having a 2 person race rather than 3 person race. it's much easier. it weighs money. it's much easier draw contrasts. >> the name on the recount petition is a former staffer for sam liccardo name jonathan padilla. but look, camp is not confirming that only saying the final count needs to be accurate. meantime, a very

angry reaction from evan los campaign. the statement from his spokesperson, this is a page right out of trump's political playbook using dirty tricks to attack democracy and subvert the will of voters. sam liccardo, who does not live in this district, did not file a recount himself. instead, he had his former staffer do it for him. what's he afraid of? think sandra democratic at all. >> to ask ask for a recount in and in a lot of races and there are mandatory recounts like a presidential. and then when there's no one squat about anti democratic. >> also weighing in south bay, congressman roe conn who said in a post on x, a candidate wanting to overturn the will of the voters is undemocratic. sam liccardo supporters should not push for a recount asking to overturn election results in district 16 when all other candidates have accepted them.

it's a crash political ploy and it's why i'm with evan low. >> it's a tie. vote. >> yockey says if somebody is willing to pay for recount. well, clearly that's allowed by law. and he says there's a huge if in all this will somebody come up with the money they there been instances already. >> in california history where people requested a recount. but i'm to come up with the meantime, in this flurry of excited reactions. yaki thanks a supervisor. some idiot is probably playing the smart by not really saying much of anything right now. >> jackie says that makes him appear to be more statesman like. >> thank you, catherine. will san francisco mayor london breed is getting ready for a trip to china last year china's president invited mayor breed to visit his country. and on saturday, the mayor along with a delegation from san francisco's asian and pacific islander community. we'll kick off a multi-city tour in china. they plan to

meet with multiple leaders and officials in an effort to try improve relations and hopefully attract some business. >> our goal is to, you know, enter into major agreement to make san francisco significant to china and to let them know that we're open the business relationship that could be developed as a result. >> mayor says she is also hoping to encourage tourism, according to the mayor's office in 2023, visitors from china spent more than 660 million dollars in the san francisco bay area. mayor breed will be in china for a week. >> rescue crews are now suspended the search for the whale whose tail call was fishing. that? yeah, they say the fog and the swells out there today make it difficult for them to keep looking. >> we have kathy george now with the marine, a marine mammal center marine mammal center with more on their efforts. and we'll have more on that coming up throughout the morning to as they continue their search. their goal is to try located as soon as possible so they can remove
