Heres your maps to the bay area, san leandro affecting the entire stretch through the oakland area on the fremont line. Theres the bay fair station and the fruitvale station, last two bart stations that have service. Even though its just the coliseum and san leandro stations closed, no stations can travel to fruitvale either. They are trying to get a bus bridge in place between fruitvale and bay fair. Thats a pretty good stretch. If you want to drive between the areas, 880 and 580 are cleared. Take to the roads, because right now we dont have the bus set up yet. We will keep checking for updates, of course, back to you. Thank you, mike. And we continue with that breaking news. Jodi hernandez is live at the scene of that horrible tragedy. What have you been able to gather about who this child is . Reporter we just got here a few minutes ago. You may be able to see that bart police and the Fire Department are here. They have cordoned this bart station off and people are lingering around trying to figure out what happened. I did get a chance to talk very briefly with two eyewitnesss. They say they were waiting for a train to arrive about 9 30 when a young woman, somebody who they describe as a young adult, not a small child, appears to be looking down at the tracks as if she had dropped something. Next thing you know, the young woman stepped on to the tracks. Now apparently they say it appeared to them that the train operator did spot this woman and slowed the train down, attempted to slow the train down, but could not stop in time. They estimate that the train was going about 15 miles an hour when it struck this woman. Of course, a very, very disturbing thing for people to see. The platform was full of people. People started screaming and running, very, very tragic. Again, witnesses tell me that this was appeared to be a young adult woman, young adult woman, not a small child, a very petite woman who appeared to intentionally step on to the track, whether she was trying to retrieve something or Something Else, it is very unclear at this point, but, of course, a lot of very shaken people out here in san leandro. That is the latest from the scene. Im Jodi Hernandez, nbc bay area news. All right. We know you will continue to tweet information and send it to our website, as well. Well update folks from the newscast, as well. Upsetting scene there. Also another one in San Francisco. An Early Morning jog turning deadly for a woman there. A deadly crash happened around 6 00 this morning at the intersection of van ness and lombard near the marina district. Bob redell is live right now on scene, where he just got an update on this developing story from police. Bob . Reporter good morning to you, sam. We know that police are interviewing the man who was behind the wheel of that bus right there, run by the Golden Gate Bridge district. At 6 15, that bus, bus 54 out of nevada was here on lombard when it hit and ran over a jogger, woman in her 50s. Police tell us the driver did stop, 911 was called, the woman was taken to San Francisco general, where she died about an hour later. Investigators are still trying to figure out who was at fault in this accident. The bridge district tells us that their driver is one of their most experienced, having driven for them for over 35 years with an excellent safety record. The driver is incredibly shaken up and all of our hearts here at golden gate transit go out to the victims family. We are cooperating fully with the police, aiding in their investigation, and to find out what happened to cause this tragic accident. Reporter golden gate district will place him on leave. Police have also spoken to passengers onboard the bus before they were shuttled on to their original destinations to get a better idea what happened. The golden gate district said they cant remember when another one of their vehicles was involved in a fatal accident, but it was at least five years. Police are still at the scene collecting evidence, doing measurements and what not, but they plan to have this section of van ness at lombard open within the next 15 minutes. Reporting live here in San Francisco, bob redell, nbc bay area news. Somber, somber events throughout the bay area, thank you very much, bob. New at 11 00 now, a San Francisco man is under arrest accused of starting a spinoff version of the silk road website, enabling thousands to buy and sell illegal drugs. He is facing charges of conspireing to commit Drug Trafficking by running the silk road 2. 0 website. It started about five weeks ago after the government shut down the original version last year. The man accused of running the original silk road website is still awaiting trial. Hes being held on charges ranging from Drug Trafficking to money laundering. Hes pleaded not guilty. Well, it could cost more to get a uc degree soon. The university of california says it needs more money if its going to continue to deliver a quality education. Nbc bay areas Nannette Miranda joins us live from the uc president s office in downtown oakland. Nannette, this comes as a bit of a surprise. Reporter yeah, total surprise, totally out of the blue. Uc has received more than 100 million in extra state funding in each of the last two years and will continue to do so for a couple more years, but after years of budget cuts during the recession, uc says its time to pay up. It says it needs more money to increase enrollment, hire faculty, and cover employee benefits. Tired of not knowing how much the university of california will get in state funding every year, president Janet Napolitano proposes up to a 5 tuition increase every year for the next five years. Tuition and fees combined are just over 12,000 a year now. Next fall theyll be closer to 13,000 a year. By 2019, undergrad students could be paying as much as 15,500 a year. With a chart showing the ups and downs of funding and consequent tuition increases and decreases over the last 20 years, ucs chief Financial Officer says the new plan will bring stabilization to the systems budget and families can plan. We have a significant amount of mandatory costs, we have retirement contributions to our pension system, retiree health, our own health benefits, one of the other areas that id point out the state could help us in is retirement. Reporter when Governor Brown signed the state budget, though, he said uc gets a 4 to 5 boost in funding every year for a few years. In exchange, tuition wouldnt go up. He now says such an agreement was never in place. Today students feel theyve been blindsided and are upset about the prospect of paying more for their college education. They are going to be stealing money from broke college students. Most of us are taking out loans. Its pretty awful, in my opinion. For them to raise their tuition every year so much for the students, especially the ones who were struggling, i think thats kind of cruel. Reporter now the state can actually buy down that tuition increase for every 20 to 25 million extra a year that the state gives uc. The tuition hike will decrease by 1 . The board of regents will meet in a couple weeks to discuss this plan. A tuition hike for grad students and out of state students are also on the table. I took a glance at that stage budget, on page 34, it clearly says uc can only get this extra money if tuition is flat through the school year 20162017. Nannette miranda, nbc bay area news. All right, thank you very much, nannette. Right now a bay area doctor is headed to the ebola hot zone, helping to stop the spread of the deadly virus. The doctor lives in San Francisco with his wife and daughter, and this morning he caught a flight to liberia, where he will spend the next month treating people with ebola. He received special training through the cdc and plans to be quarantined for 21 days once he returns to the states. I definitely have a healthy, healthy respect for this disease, based on what i know about it, and theres absolutely no doubt that i have a certain level of anxiety about it, but im hoping to channel that anxiety into vigilance and diligence and taking that respect and turning it into self preservation, doing everything i can to make sure i dont contaminate myself. The doctor hopes to get back to the states in time to spend christmas with his wife and his little daughter. Well, the dallas nurse who got on an airplane after contracting ebola is speaking out now for the very first time this morning. Amber vinson, who was diagnosed with ebola after treating a patient in texas. Before showing any symptoms she flew to visit her fiance in ohio, but now is responding to critics who say that decision was careless. It makes me feel terrible, because thats not me. Im not careless. Im not reckless. Im an icu nurse. I embrace protocol and guidelines and structure, because in my daytoday nursing, it is a matter of life and death, and i respect that fact. Vinson says she checked with the cdc beforehand and that organization gave her the thumbs up to fly. Tomorrow, a hospital created specifically for Health Care Workers exposed to ebola, will open up near the capital of liberia, set up by the u. S. Military, modified to house up to 25 infectious patients. Staffing will include nearly 70 members of the u. S. Public health service. Health officials in liberia want international Health Care Workers to know theyll be receiving the best care if they do contract the virus in west africa. A meeting in a south Bay Community tonight is a Community Still mourning the death of a High School Student who was killed while riding his bike to school last week. 15yearold ethan wong was headed to school on october 27th when he was hit and killed by a gravel truck. Police say wong was in the bike lane wearing a helmet and the big rig driver unknowingly kept going for a few blocks before witnesses caught up with him. The driver has not been charged. At 7 00 tonight, the city of cupertino will hold a forum covering Traffic Safety near schools. This is happening at the qunilan Community Center on stelling road. Coming up, well continue to keep you abreast concerning bart and that killed minor. Plus, relief could be on the way to thousands of commuters in the south bay. Well be explaining next. Plus, president obama awards a medal of honor to an Army Lieutenant from the civil war. We are getting close to veterans day here in the bay area. Some spectacular conditions coming your way as of this afternoon, slightly cooler. Well see a nice dry and warm weekend before we bring back that rain. Ill tell you how much were expecting and when when nbc bay area at 11 00 comes right back. New at 11 00, a union army officer killed more than 150 years ago during the civil war was awarded the nations highest military honor. Just hours ago, president obama presented First Lieutenant alonzo cushings cousin the medal of honor. Took years of lobbying to get the wisconsin native the recognition they thought he deserves. Recommendations for a medal of honor usually must be made within two years of an act of heroism. He was killed back in 1863. He is credited with helping stop a confederate charge, despite being shot in his stomach and shoulders. That family is tenacious. Tonight the vta may go forward with express lanes for pay on highway 85. The diamond lanes would run about 27 miles between the bailey exit in south san jose north to the 101 connector in mountain view. The proposal also adds an extra car pool lane on 85. The express lanes would be free for car poolers, motorcyclists, buses, and lowemission vehicles and solo drivers could use them, as well, for a fee dependent on the amount of congestion. The board is expected to vote on the matter at their meeting tonight at the Santa Clara County building on west hedding in san jose. Moving along now to decision 2014. Still races hanging in the balance. We are waiting to find out who the next leader of the san jose government will be. Sam liccardo has declared himself the winner, but his opponent dave cortese is not throwing in the towel. Liccardo currently up by a razor thin twopoint margin, you see it right there. Liccardo had visited the rotary club in san jose yesterday and called on cortese to concede to the race. He said he just wants to get started as mayor and repair relationships that have been damaged, groups like the police union. Cortese says there are still a lot of votes yet to be counted. The district 17 race for Congress Still undecided, as well. Incumbent mike honda currently hanging on to a fourpoint lead over challenger ro khanna. Still thousands of mailin ballots to be counted. Neither camp has conceded, nor claimed victory. Our election coverage continues online at nbcbayarea. Com. Just click on the decision 2014 tab on our front page for all nine bay area counties and statewide elections. And now an Investigative Unit exclusive. Something that is called black gold. It is the black plastic piping that pot growers are using to steal and divert water from public lands and parks in california. The Investigative Unit revealed growers have stolen more than a billion gallons of water during times our lands really need it. 1. 2 billion gallons were stolen in the last two years, all to grow waterthirsty marijuana plants. To put a stop to it, the department of fish and wildlife launched a first of its kind enforcement team, team trained in military tact ticks. So far the team has collected hundreds of miles of black plastic piping they say the cartels are using to steal the water meant for nature and local communities. Because of what dynamic is happened in california and what type of enemy were facing, theres not a more dangerous, more damaging environmental crime enemy in california now. In the last two years, the wardens seized about a half million plants of illegally grown marijuana that was grown on public land, where it was not supposed to be. Tonight you can hear from a rancher who saw his lake almost disappear overnight. The full investigation from the unit airs at 11 00 tonight. If you have a tip for the Investigative Unit, give us a call or email us. Were going to shift gears for a second. How about some movies.
