Fender bender reported just past caster valley. And build for hayward. Over here the trivalley does have slowing west 580 in tort North Livermore where we had an earlier crash and that set off the slower drive up to that point. That crash has cleared, but also the point where folks spread down toward North Livermore. But not so bad for a tuesday at this time. South bay might see less traffic because a lot of the schools are on winter break this week. The whole week, not just yesterday. We do see the build north 101. And then a crash at taylor off of 87, still no reports. But no slowing showing up here. An easy build for the nimitz. Coming up, an explosion kills several people in russia early this morning.

Youre looking at new individual i dont crews searching through rubble and debris. It happened at an apartment about northeast of moscow. Five apartments were destroyed, 20 other units damaged.

Those flights could start as early as the fall and 24e8 they would be the first scheduled service in more than 15 5 5 years. This is part of a Civil Aviation agreement reached. Top officials will sign the pact. You can build a car in which no one would ever die in a crash . Scott mcgrew talking about this all morning. Cars thems are already incredibly safe, its really the driver where most of the problem lies about so that volvo started thinking about what would it take to prevent all death accidents and thinks its through a combination of Driver Assistance Technology and cars talking to each other warning each other things like icy conditions. Deathproof car not impossible. Latest data show that there are some. Here is the audi a4, its never had an accident before honda odyss odyssey, kia, lexus, subaru legacy, Toyota Highlander hybrid, toyota sequoia. Never a deadly accident in any of these cars. The man in charnlg in charg experimental project says it originally mattered google cars would drive most of the time. But astro teller says they pound safer just to let the commuter figure it out.

No bad ideas, right . 6 16. A week old baby horse is recovering this morning after it was found at the bottom of a steep ravine. It had been stuck there for at least two days. P. Bob redell live at the ranch where the horse is right now. Hes named valentine. Hes getting 24 hour care. They will be transporting him to uc davis and theyre trying to raise money for the surgery. Reporter critical surgery. They need 7,000 to 10,000. You might call that the go fund me the when we started out here at 5 00 this morning was only at 4600 and you can see how much its grown. They definitely got the minimum amount, but we know Animal Services has about 100 voice mails for people who want to donate. So i dont want to say that they have the 10,000, but theyre definitely doing a good job. Theyre trying to save valentine, a 7 day old horse and even though he looks fine, resting right now, probably a little pain meds going on there, as well. If you look at the back part writss shaved, they did an you will have a sound. His pelvis is broken. And right under the break are vital arteries. So the concern is that if he moves or does anything without the surgery, that that break would rupture the arteries and obviously he could bleed out. He was discovered saturday and you brought him out on sunday. Im just curious in your line of work, you dont want to get attached to animals, correct . Because you see a lot . Very true. But youre attached to this one. I am. Our shelter takes in about 9,000 to 10,000 animal as reas a year. And i did get attached to this guy. Hes a fighter. And we saw some video when you were feeding him. Hes jumping around and hes a baby, he doesnt know better that hes hurt and also the pain meds are numbing some of that sensation . Yes, they send to be more active once they have the pain meds and do things they shouldnt do glp so he will s. So he will get some xrays. Lets say you get the money. What did the vet say about his chance of getting through the surgery and that actually fixing the problem . She said hes an excellent surgery candidate because he isnt have a fever, his lungs are clear. Do we know how he ended up in the ravine and where is the owner . No one has come forward at this time. I guess thats a whole different story just trying to save this guy right now, obviously trying to get some sleep here and maybe we should turn off the camera light. Again, this is what the go fund me account is at right now, 7500. Just north of that. And again, they do have a bunch of voice mails at the Office People trying to donate. So i dont want to say that they have the amount yet, because you never know, about if you have that extra ten bucks, this guy could use the help. Reporting live here at the ranch where hes been taken care of. Bob redell, today in the bay. Hope he makes it. Its been more 80 people that have donated so far to valentine. 100 i 100, 200, some people 2,000. Such a giving place. Lifting our hearts and also temperatures one more day. One more day of the warm weather. We take a live look at the bay bridge. We see a clear start to the day and everyone getting out and about. P no worries about fog. And you can leave the up brel are a at home. As we take a look now at those temperatures in the upper 40s heading out, a light jacket needed now and san jose thousand at 52 degrees. Heading in to the day, we will start to see some clouds moving in, but i dont think well see the clouds until tonight. So in the meantime, our temperatures will warm up into the 70s and 80s. Here we are tomorrow morning and we start to see the showers moving into parts of the north bay. And some much needed rain at that as it gets heavier into the evening commute once again this is tomorrow. And we will see those showers lingering into early thursday before it clears out. At this point it looks like there could be anywhere between quarter of an inch in palo alto, maybe half an inch in oakland and santa rose. But the temperature outlook is well above normal. We should be at about 61 degree this is livermore, up to 78 today. 65 tomorrow with the clouds and late kay showday showers. And cooler on thursday. We will have highs reaching back into the 70s by this weekend. So look good especially on sunday. A lot more comfortable with a high of 73 degrees, but a cool start to the weekend as we will mainly be in the low to mid60s. And the rain will have a slight chance of that in the north bay on friday. Lets check in now with mike. We had a lot more traffic compared to yesterday. Things are calming down, but well look toward fremont. 880 past the truck scale, just fine. A little farther north on the maps, a lot of slowing south 880 coming down toward dakota. Crash at thornton. Chp hasnt been able to get over there just yet, but they might have moved their way over to the shoulder. So there will shall be slowing past the scene and more distraction. But it might not be as bad as i was originally expecting over the last ten minutes. Slower drive and more traffic down through hayward past the is an that dsan mateo bridge. Rivy trivalley holding up nicely. 680 slow toward the extra knee shan brid venetian bridge. Metering lights are on bay bridge. There may be something going on in brooklyn from the traffic pattern. So ill double check with the live camera. Peninsula, volume holding pretty steady. South bay schools off for the winter recess. Capitol hill. As president obama prepares to nominate a replacement fojus a battle brewing on capitol hill as president obama prepares to nominate a replacement for justice antonin scalia. Republicans vowing to block whoever that is. And he will nominate a nominee and well see what happens. Tracie potts live in washington, d. C. Where democrats say all theyre asking for is a vote. Republicans say thats a nonstarter. Reporter exactly. And they have been back and forth on this. But the white house is pressing forward saying, yes, this looks like politics, but according to a top democrat here, there is a short list that the president will be looking at. Democrats have more that they want to give him, but the question remains even if he does come up with the nominee, will that better than ever gperson a ever get a vote. Lets hear from our constituents what they think and then vote. That is not the way our constitution works. I think the new president should have the option. Practical implications are nil. Its all about politics. Interestingly one republican orrin hatch was asked what if president obama comes up with someone that youve already afternoon proved, a lower court judge, that already got republican support. His response, this is the Supreme Court. Its a different standard. So we wait to see when they come back next week whether or not there will be hearings and an Actual Senate vote. Always something to talk about in politics. Just going through the motions and holding a hearing looks better than saying i dont think so. Well see. Coming up next, a new way to spa fight the zika virus sparking controversy. Reporter and im in san jose where the county wants to fill your prescription for free regardless of your income, residency or your citizenship status. Ill show you why its a money saver. And im live in San Francisco at the popular Twin Peaks Lookout where there now a memorial. The only reminder here of the triple shooting that killed two young men. What weve learned about the man Police Believe pulled the trigger. Joining us. Im laura garcia cannon. Sam 2shot and imam 6 30. Thanks for joining us. Well check your forecast with kari hall. Clear and warm one more day here. Sdl osgr one more day before we have a new jersey cooldown in the bay area. Looking for some rain, too. Thousa 48 in the north bay and low 50s elsewhere. Highs today up to 80 degrees in the north and south bay. 76 in San Francisco and 79 in the east bay. As we go into the next couple of days, at least 10 degrees cooler in many spots. Ill detail that coming up. In berkeley, live camera didnt reveal any lanes blocked for this stretch, but look at this volume of traffic. There was a crash reported and that is the issue for the backup in toward the area. Were see something recovery now, but you see right where the camera was, a little break down toward the berkeley curve. Again a smoother flow now and bay bridge continues to see the backup causing the metering lights to be on. A look at the rest of the bay, smooth drive toward hayward, but bogging down around free month. South 880, a crash at thornton may still be in lanes. Southbound bogging down past the dumb bar top bridge. Rest of the
