traffic tieups. "mornings on 2" starts now. good morning. welcome to "mornings on 2". i'm dave clark. >> ial tori cal bell. there is an accident involving all of the weekend lanes closed. it's a motorcycle crash, camest about 25 minutes ago. you can. this is a major delay. let's go to hayward, newschopper2. this car apparently flipped over into the ditch.

the person got out and started running across freeway lanes, which led the police to briefly shut down the freeway, ran across the freeway really. lucky enough to be hit by something. so there's activity on both sides of the freeway. you can see the car in the ditch on one side and then there are police officers with a person on the other side. this is causing a major traffic jam on interstate 880 from hayward and union city, fremont in both directions. traffic is really bad, as there is a big police presence. it's unclear what's going on. it could be that this person was trying to flee police. we know for sure if you are on 880 hayward in both directions approaching the whipple industrial exit. this car is overturned to the ditch. i'm not sure if anyone else was in it. one person has come out. you will see activity

continuing. at 7:02. back to the desk. >> thank you, sal. an investigation is underway within the san francisco police department. it stems from video of an arrest posted on youtube. ktvu's kraig debro has been reviewing the video clip and joins us now with some details. good morning, kraig. >> reporter: good morning, tori. we're at the hall of justice where police will be conducting this investigation. this is the second videotape involving san francisco police in a month. police are still investigates officers' actions stemming from an incident following the pride parade. this tape is a little bit different. significant differences exist between this one and the -- between this pride parade and the one on sunday. police say they stopped a woman on the street because she was a suspect in an assault they were responding to. police say the unidentified woman who was pushing a baby stroller at the time was drunk and refused their attempts to

put her in the car. she was not only resisting but she was swearing. one of the officers put her on the ground and she appears to be down face first. she went to the hospital but -- they wanted to take her to the hospital. she bit an emt. i spoke to an officer about this. he told me that the takedown appears a little funny. he says officers are typically supposed to guide the person down the ground and not let go of them. we don't know yet until the investigation is complete if the officer inadvertently let go of the woman on the way down or what happened but that's the word i got from one officer. kraig debro, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you, kraig. well, late last night, the oakland city council approved an ordinance that would make the city the first in the

country to license marijuana cultivation. claudine wong is joining us from city hall with a look at how this impact would impact some of the smaller growers in the area. >> reporter: that's the big unknown. critics are concerned that this new new ordinance would literally wipe out the small ones. people got very passionate and debated this for hours. well, january that's when the permits would be issued. between now and january, the city council has promised to take a look at the plan that would address these small pot growers to make sure they don't get swallowed up. the critics wanted to know what does it mean for the smaller dispensaries? this ordinance does not necessarily address them. the ordinance provides for four

permits, $211,000 in permit fees. the city council wants to put an 8% sales tax on the sales there. an annual revenue estimates start at $1.5 million. that would be a big shot in the arm for this cash-strapped city. but one officer says it would also allow for strictor quality control. >> if i was a patient, it would give me reassurance that i'm getting the best medicine out there. >> i think this is something that's needing to happen. i just hope we don't circumvent the small growers who made this occur in the first place. >> reporter: the man is to work on a -- the plan is to work on a plan in this operation. people are talking about history in the making. that's what's happening here in oakland but it's important to say there is one other bay area city, thinking about getting on board this kind of train as well. we'll talk more about that coming up in our next report.
