Trucks, working to repair the highway here, after this fiery crash. Part of the highway, it looks like, was damaged. So theyve got the street sweepers and looks like crews out here. And looks like theyre doing some patchup work to the highway. So we dont know when this northbound part of 101 at Bailey Avenue will be reopened. But this all started 3 30 this morning. Thats when the crash was reported. And this was the dramatic scene the driver saw as they passed the four vehicles on fire. According to chp, it started with a single vehicle that spun out, hit the center divide. Three other cars crashed into it. One ignited and before long, all four vehicles were on fire on the freeway. We know one person was killed. At one point, firefighters and chp had to shut down all. Lanes of northbound 101, south of 85. Now, they have one lane open. I was just driving home from work. Man, i just saw a bunch of fire. And there was like three cars. And theyre just engulfed. It was a pretty bad accident. Now, the backup from the collision extends for miles far south of Bailey Avenue. And a lot of the side streets from Bailey Avenue and monterey road. Also very congested with drivers trying to find alternate ways to get around this partial freeway closure. Now, in their latest notes, the chp, at 5 00 this morning, said they estimated it would take 2 to 3 hours to reopen more lanes of this highway. And so that was at 5 00 this morning. So were looking at 7 00, 8 00, before more lanes reopen. Right now, we are looking at caltrans crews, looking like theyre repairing parts of this highway though. One lane still in the northbound direction at 101. Live in san jose, allie rasmus. Time is 7 02. Lets go to sal for more on how to get around in all of this. Sal .

No. As a matter of fact, i just saw them move a car, one of the last ones, it was on a flat bed. So that just went away. And were looking at a picture of where the crash was. You see the big black marcos the road. Only one lane still open here on northbound 101 and the area here. You will see that traffic is getting by only in the far right lane. Theres the car being backed up onto the center divide. You can kind of see that there. But for the most part, traffic is going to be slow still. As a matter of fact, you can see it from morgan hill to san jose. Its one big traffic jam. That means the rest of the san jose commute has been better. A lot of people are stuck back there. And they cant get into the main part of the valley. Were looking at the east bay as well. You can see highway 4, slow through bay point. And pittsburgh at bay point. And 680 is a little slow. Theres a little routine commute. No problems on the east shore freeway, taking about a half hour to drive to the maze. Then another 20 minute toss sit at the bay bridge toll plaza. Lets go to steve.

And marshall, San Francisco, and pacifica, 60s. With so cal in the low 70s. Thats the low in the last theres a bad image there. But watch. Right southern end of that, tapping in a little moisture.

And it does look like not only will it be cooler, but watch this on the future cast here. Possibility in the last couple there. Early saturday, some rains approaching. So well see if it makes it. But i would hold on to that santa rosa, calistoga north. 60s, 70s, on the temps. They continue to slide down for the inland areas. Well below average now. That will continue into saturday.

A group of bay area women are just beginning a once in a lifetime trip to the southern u. S. Ktvus Elissa Harrington is at oakland now. The ladies in red, flew out this morning to see and experience some of the history of landmark locations of the civil rights services. More than 100 of them. Trip to alabama. Civil rights movement. And even to meet some notable people. And what we learned this morning is that the ladies in red started as a support group. It was originally for Breast Cancer survivor. Started about 23 years ago. But has since expanded to include a lot of Senior Citizens who still have the desire to travel and learn about their roots. I got a chance to speak with a few of them this morning. Especially with the way times are now. We need to be reminded of how our parents and all of those who have gone before us have suffered so much. And now, we get a chance to go back to be reminded, to walk the steps and to just be a part of the whole journey. Im really honoring my mom. Because she was an activist in alameda. You know, my parents grew up in the south. And you know, came out here. And most people that our background is from the south. Our parents grew up in the south. And brought us out here to california. Various people. But now were going back to see some of our roots. Organizer, brenda knight, spent more than a year planning this trip. The ladies will tour three cities. Birmingham, montgomery, and selma. They will visit museums and libraries and see americas First Black Church, where four young girls were killed in a tragic bombing. The women say they are looking forward to cross the same bridge that Martin Luther king cross the during the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. Some priest destinations have included the Hawaiian Islands and the white house. Reporting live in oakland, Elissa Harrington, ktvu, fox 2 news. Eric swalwell hosted a town hall meeting about a recent mass shooting. Worked very hard at the midterms. So we won 17 seats, where an nra endorsed Congress Member held the seats. Now, its time for the senate to act. At last nights town hall, many people shared their ideas on how to stop the Mass Shootings. We dont want to take the guns away from people who hunt or pistols from people who want to protect their homes. But assault weapons, most of the people who have them werent in the military. Congressman swalwell said he wants Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell to call a vote. One for background checks for private and online sales. The other giving the fbi a longer period to investigate potential buyers. And an assault Weapons Program and Buyback Program for the estimated 50 million assault weapons on the street. The nra william comes calls to address the its causes of horrific actings of violence, that have occurred in our country. Unfortunately, antigun politicians like Eric Swalwell are focused instead on scoring political points by pushing legislation of only restricting the rights of lawabiding americans. A lobbying effort for new gun control laws is getting stronger. President trump says he is willing to consider expanded background checks for gun buyers. But as ktvus doug luzader reports, its still a tough fight. The president said he is even willing to Call Congress back to town, if both sides close in on a gun control deal. Marine 1 with a latenight landing at the white house. President trump and the first lady returning to washington after a very long day. Spending time in both dayton and el paso. Meeting with victims, First Responders and hospital staff. And the president apparently getting an earful on gun control. Telling me, lets see if we can get something done. And republicans want to do it. And democrats want to do it. But how far is congress willing to go . They are urging expanding background checks. Hes even received death threats. The president spent time with brown. The mayor and i asked the president to call on senator mcconnell to bring the senate back in session this week. To tell the senate that he wants the background check bill that has already passed the house. What may be more likely, though, is an expansion of socalled red flag laws already adopted by some in the state. It has been proposed in ohio. We think its well thought out. We think it respects the constitution. And it also is going to save lives. But none of this is going to be easy. A number of these proposals raise Second Amendment concerns for gun rights advocates. In washington, doug luzader, for ktvu, fox 2 news. All right, doug. Tonight, ktvu will take an indepth look at Mass Shootings in america. Were going to take a look at current gun laws.

More people are getting through. And if youre driving in the east bay, we havent had a lot going on. However, livermore traffic is going to be busy. Theres an accident in the airway vicinity here. Look at all of that slow traffic. This is unusual for livermore. If youre getoth freeway in pleasanton, it looks good at that point. But in livermore, it is going to be an unexpected slowdown.

Three other cars crashed into that vehicle. One of the cars caught fire. And before long, all four vehicles were on fire. We know that one person was killed, two people were injured. At one point, firefighters and the chp had to shut down all the lanes on northbound 101, south of highway 85. I was just driving home from work. And man, i just saw a bunch of fire. And there was like three cars. And they were just engulfed. It was a pretty bad accident. Reporter and earlier this morning, we saw tow trucks removing from the scene, one by one, each of the four vehicles that were involved in this crash. And it did take caltrans crews a little while. We saw them patching up the road, bringing in asphalted and sweeping. Now, back here live, it looks like theyre about to wrap up that road work. You see one of the two caltrans vehicles picking up, getting ready to pick up some of the cones. So it looks like they are getting ready to reopen more lanes here.

Also, as we have been reporting just this morning, 20 principals out of the oaklands 86 schools are not coming back for the new school year. Lets talk about what kind of year oakland students and their families can expect. Were hope happy to welcome back superintendent will kyla trammel johnson. Thanks for having me. The best thing about a new year is its time for a fresh start. How is oakland School District turning the page . Were turning the page by basically, focusing on our students and families. And were excited to start the year to welcome back our students and families, and ensure that we have highquality educational experiences for all of our students. So really looking forward to not looking in the past. What changes should students and families expect for this year . Students and families should expect in many ways, just consistently to have dynamic and dedicated teachers and school staff that are excited to welcome students and families on the first day of school and throughout this year. After the teacher strike. And the teachers came back to the classroom. We gave the teachers for the most part what they wanted financially. That has to lead to cuttings elsewhere. Including cuts. Some of the decisions we have to make are about expanding quality and ensuring that were able to provide quality services, arts, music, sports, robust academics. And Extracurricular Activities in our schools. But were seeing that plan in action this year. So this year, we actually have an expanded high school. One of our highdemand high schools is going to be offering more seats to students. We have an expanded 612 school in east oakland that has a Graduation Rate of over 90 that is going to be offering more seats so more families can have access to that program. And weve got another school where weve combined two smaller schools. Thats elmhurst united middle school. And that is going to offer more robust programming. Some of those decisions are having to make adjustments to some of our schools. But the end result is being able to expand quality and programming to our families. What schools are at the top of the list for possible closures. At this time, were really focusing on our schools that we have just expanded, which i will be visiting the first day of school. So youre not naming any businesses that could be on the closure list. We need to make sure that our board is making the final decision. Were excited about some of the changes weve made. And ill be visiting all of those schools throughout the first week of school. I know that many have said, even the district itself, says there are too many schools and not enough students. How do you manage a 20 million budget cut, with the fact that you have so Many Properties open. Each needs a principal, a secretary, a custodian. That is what is behind our city wide plan, is really looking at where we currently are, making those hard decisions. And its both a combination of having to make some of those tough decisions, being able to invest, to have sustainable quality schools. And also thinking about revenue enhancements. For properties that were seeing that were not using. What are ways that we can creatively use those properties in ways to enhance revenue for our district . What that might include . Revenue enhancements . Well, it may include longterm leases. It may include looking at other programs that may be using some of those facilities and providing revenue for our district. So were in the middle of discussing what those possibilities can be. What do you say to oakland parents who are frustrated by the state of finances, some have described a broken culture within the district. As the grand jury report over the summer said. Youre in charge of leading this district. Tens of thousands of students and their families. What do you say to parents who might be losing faith in ousd . What i say is to take a look at the work that we have done. I have been here as a student, as a teacher, through a lot of our turbulent times. And i deeply believe that stability is really the end results that are going to get us through these times. And that woo actual we actually have to start addressing some of those deep challenges weve had as a district. So actually making some of these tough decisions, staying in open communication with our families, with our community, about what we need to do. So that people understand the complexity. And the dilemmas that weve had for decades and the need to have the courage to actually make the decisions so that we can get on the other end and provide better resources for students and families. At the end of all of this tough decisions are being able to ensure that every student, not just some, have all of the aspects of quality in their school. So a lot of what were doing is really about courage. My kids go to this School District. So im personally connected to seeing the district become more stable. It is hard to find a district outside of oakland that is as passionate, as outspoken as parents, students and teachers are. Thank you so much for joining us. Oakland superintendent, kyla johnsontrammel. Thanks for that. Lets check traffic. Its been a rather busy morning for you, sal. Thats right. We have some veteran news here.

East bay congressman Eric Swalwell hosted a town hall meeting in hayward about the recent Mass Shootings. Worked very hard at the midterms to change the composition. Post parkland. So we won 17 sights where an nra member endorse said seats. Now its time for the september to act. At last nights town hall, there was a wide range of opinions on how to stop Mass Shootings. We dont want to take the guns away from people who hunt. Or pistols away. But assault weapons. Most of the people who have them werent in the military. Congressman swalwell said he wants Senate Majority leader to call a vote on two bills passed on the house will one on background checks for private and online sales and the other giving fbi a longer period to investigate potential buyers. Congressman swalwell also said he wants to see President Trump support an assault weapons ban. Overnight, the nra issued this response to congressman swalwells town hall. The nra welcomes calls to address the root causes of horrific acts of violence that occurred in our country. Unfortunately, representatives like erswalwell are pushing political position. Now willing to consider expanding background checks for gun buyers. But as ktvus doug luzader reports, advocates still face an uphill battle. The president says he is even willing to Call Congress back to town if both sides close in a gun control deal. Marine one was a late night landing at the white house.
