Crossing the bridge. Fires two days apart within two feet of one another. This is a highly unusual set of circumstances. Reporter Leah Robinson leech says the fires overlap the same bridge joist seals. It is a rubberlike material that protects the joint from any sort of debris. Reporter a bridge engineer discovered the fire and called chp and the San Francisco fire department. Cal trans says the fire was put out within minutes. Initially there were two lanes blocked. You can see traffic backed up on the bridge. By this afternoon the lanes were reopened. As you come out of the tunnel there is the joint that is right across here. Reporter robinsonleech says six feet of fuel burned monday night. Today about half that. We are not anticipating the bridge will need to be shut down. Reporter more than likely a lane closure. Maintenance crews are investigating the cause of both fires. We will not speculate as to the cause until we are clear as to what the cause of both fires is in fact. Reporter monday there was some speculation a tall cigarette hit debris in the grates caused fire. Today Officials Say that explanation is unlikely. Reporter sheriffs deputies were not taking chances when a bus carrying inmates broke down in oakland this morning. Sky 7 hd was over the scene as inmates were taken off the bus and moved to another.

Highway 84 still closed after a deadly accident involving a big rig. You can see the rig on its side there. Abc 7 news contacted livermore pd and they tell us the highway wont reopen until 6 00 p. M. At the earliest. The accident happened this morning near vineyard avenue highway 84 is a key connecter. And its the closure forced drivers to take a detour for hours. Abc 7 News ReporterAmy Hollyfield is in livermore. Reporter Livermore Police say the driver of this big rig wasnt slowing down for the traffic light he was approaching but the cars in front of him were preparing to stop so he plowed into them three of them. One of the drivers was killed. We havent determined fault but we do know that the big rig had started the collision. Reporter the other drivers were complaining of pain so they were all taken to the hospital. This happened at 4 46 in the morning on highway 84 in livermore, a road vital to the commute. We do have a lot of traffic here. This is a main thoroughfare, people cutting through from 580 to 680 and cut through south. So it is a heavily travelled road. Reporter Cindy Milford was counting on using the highway. We were taking this route that we googled and now we have to figure out an alternative and there is no suggestion on here of how to do it. Reporter they shut down the highway in both directions so they can safely investigate and clean up. The truck landed on an embankment and spilled its load of bottled water. It is unsafe to get personnel to the vehicle to inspect it. We have to wait for heavy equipment, the trucks to come out and lift it up make it safe so we dont have to worry about the pay load or truck tipping farther. Reporter police tell us the drivers who were hurt suffered minor injuries nothing life threatening but wanted to get checked out just in case. Lets move now to the weather.

For the First Time Since their names were cleared we are hearing from family members of a couple once accused of staging a bizarre kidnapping. Attorneys held a News Conference to announce their innocence. Federal agents arrested matthew mullock for the kidnapping. Relatives say vindication and they would like police to apologize. I think they are very impulsive. I think they took the easiest route. First the easiest route was to assume that he had killed denise. The second was to call it a hoax because if they did anything else it means they would have to do an investigation. Federal agents say they found drones, white sheets, mattress pad, duct tape and video camera in the storage locker all allegedly used in the kidnapping. Now to a warning for People Living in palo alto. Police are stepping up patrols after neighbors say they spotted two prowlers in a week. The 14yearold girl saw a man in her backyard last week just before midnight. Very scary. Then yesterday around emerson and hawthorne a woman noticed a strange man looking inside her bedroom windows around 1 00 in the morning and banging on another window. Neighbors are being extra cautious. Certainly walking to and from my car at night i will be more careful and no late laundry loads. Police do not think the two incidents are related.

After the big deal comes the big sell. President obama today making the case that the new nuclear deal with iran will make the world safer and more secure. I can say with confidence and Nuclear Experts can say with confidence that iran will not be in a position to develop a nuclear bomb. We will have met our number one priority. Reporter its an historic diplomatic achievement, a deal to sharply limit Irans Nuclear program in exchange for lifting crippling sanctions imposed nine years ago. There are celebrations in the streets of tehran but in israel the Prime Minister is blasting the deal. What a stunning historic mistake. Reporter and lawmakers in the u. S. Are skeptical threatening to taint the agreement. It looks very much like he made the worst deal than we had fear. Reporter critics say the agreement delays Irans Nuclear abilities and frees up billions in funds for terrorist operations. The president urging opponents to evaluate the agreement based on facts and not politics and challenging them to explain what they would have done differently. Sdpl what is your preferred alternative . Reporter now it is likely that congress could vote to oppose this deal but the president has already vowed to veto any such attempts. Congress would then need a twothirds majority to override a veto but it is highly unlikely that many lawmakers would go against the president s will. Mary bruce abc 7 news. Thank you so much.
