You can see the crews working right there. Chris nguyen is also live in campbell with details on what happened. Chris . Reporter kristen, police just reopened one of the south bound lanes of camden avenue. Thats going to help the traffic situation out here. If you take a look behind me, you can see the pg e crews currently working the scene, trying to repair that twoinch line hit by a construction crew earlier today. As we showed you some video from sky 7 hd, the leak was first reported just before 1 00 this afternoon. Because of this, a number of businesses in the area had to be evacuated, including a fast food restaurant, as well as a gas station very close to where the repairs are being done. The north bound lanes remain closed. Its still unclear how soon those north bound lanes will reopen to traffic. Utility officials are investigating why the construction crew hit the gas line, because weve been told the gas line was clearly marked. Returning to a live look now, if youre traveling south on camden, police have reopened one of these lanes. But the backup extends to the expressway. So if you have a friend or Family Member that is stuck out there, pack some patience, because it will take them a while to get home. Reporting live in camp tell tonight, chris nguyen, abc7 news.

You know these mattresses cost a lot of money. Well over 1,000 is what the average one goes for. Consumer reports has tested more than 60. Well tell you how much you need to spend if you want a decent one. Consumer reports performs all sorts of tests to check whether a mattress is worth the money. We tested mattresses that cost as little as 250 for a queen size mattress and others that cost nearly 8,000. Neither of them did particularly well in our tests. Reporter this test simulates eight years of use, to see how well a mattress holds its shape and firmness. Test results will check how well a mattress will support your spine, whether you sleep on your side or back. And this measures how much vibration is transmitted across a mattress. We found that price isnt a good indicator how durable a mattress is. Our test turned up plenty of fine mattresses that cost 1,000 or less. Reporter after that, a lot of it comes down to personal preference. For a medium firm mattress, this cost about 1,000. Its very durable and a very good option for back sleepers. Reporter if you want a memory foam mattress, there are many good choices for less. Mattresses from the Online Companies casper, lisa, and tufta needle, have made the recommended lists. The latest is from costco, for 600. Its not as supportive as some of the other mattresses, but its durable and offers medium firmness. Reporter if you prefer a softer mattress, Consumer Reports recommends sicili mattresses for about 1300. Its one of the few mattresses Consumer Reports tested that scores excellent. So its a good choice if you have a partner that tosses and turns. And when youre buying a mattress, go there and lay on them. Its embarrassing and weird, but thats what you have to do.
