We declared this as a mass casualty incident. Reporter eastwest highway is very aptly named. It is especially on days when we have more traffic like we do. People not taking metro, people trying to avoid it, trying to get to the beltway. It is a shortcut to get from upper northwest, bethesda, chevy chase, to the Georgia Avenue exit on the beltway. Very popular with people who know their way around here and it is jammed going east right now. You definitely want to avoid this area. We also understand metro is in the process right now. You can see the officers inside the bus there behind me. They are reviewing the tapes from the buss cameras because we hear there is some type of discrepancy between the bus drivers account of what happened and the person who was driving the other vehicle that it collided with. What a mess out there. Thank you. Also new tonight, Team Coverage as metro rail riders deal with another rush hour of big delays because of that massive Safetrack Program. Metro says overall the report card has been positive, but problems have started popping up again in the last hour. Lets go first to adam tuss. Hes at the foggy bottom station as riders try to make their way home. Adam . Reporter thats right, doreen. Weve got another evening commute to deal with here. Of course, theres going to be a crush of riders. People start to make their way in. It is getting very busy. Yeah, there are some issues that we are now hearing about. More on that in just a minute. Metros leader says the system was basically at capacity today. More challenges could come tomorrow. A lot of metro riders simply found another way today. Take a look at this chart from metro. These stations saw ridership drops compared to pretrack conditions. They say thats a good thing, encouraging riders to stay away. I want to urge everyone whatever you did today do tomorrow, do wednesday, do for the duration of this surge because it worked okay today. Reporter but there were some notable issues. At the boston station, both platforms are open, but train that you think is coming isnt always coming or going in the directions that youre used to. We watched as amy from arlington got caught off guard racing back and forth between platforms, trying to catch her ride into d. C. Are they communicating this effectively or no . No. Ive missed three trains in the last five minutes. Reporter it happened to bruce burns also. Is it confusing . Yes, it is confusing. Reporter do you think they have enough communication out here . I dont see anybody here telling me all i see are passengers and reporter theyll have more metro personnel at the boston station tomorrow. And now remember, this is just the first of 15 surges thatll be rolling out over the next year, guys. Adam, as we get under way with what is going to be a very painful process, how confident are the metro folks that they can get all the work done in the time thats been scheduled . Reporter well, you know, doreen, i asked the general manager today. He actually walked down onto the tracks and saw some of the work that was being done. He was happy with the progress. I asked him is there any way the window of time would be extended in the work isnt done. He said absolutely not. Everything thats been scheduled on the safetrack plan will happen during those windows. Hes promising riders they will not have to endure any more pain than whats been scheduled for. More packed platforms, more problems popping up, and so are the headaches for tonight. Shomari stone joins us live from the boston station where the growing confusion. Shomari . Reporter yes, that confusion continues to grow. Some riders tell me that they are downright frustrated. They catch a train here to the boston station. Then they try to get off, get on another train. Once they do that, thats when that train is gone or it is so packed it is just so tough to even get to the train. A bit confusing. Youre going to see why. Metro officials warned that the orange and silver line trains may be very crowded, especially during rush hour. Riders should expect significant longer wait times at multiple stations in northern virginia. This seems to be the same issue riders experienced this morning. Metro employees are here along with transit police. Theyre here answering questions, explaining to people why there is single tracking. A lot of folks say it is really frustrating because theyre trying to figure out what is going on. Lets hear from a rider now. They told me but it didnt come on this side. It came on that side. I ran over to that side and i missed it. Now im going to wait until i figure out what train ive got to get. Reporter describe what this is like for you. Describe it. Its frustrating. Its very hard. I want to go home. Reporter a lot of people tell me they want to go home. Keep in mind if you plan on catching the metro rail tomorrow make sure you give yourself plenty of time. I talked to a couple of metro employees off camera. They admit this is very confusing for passengers, especially when youre down there. It is very hot. A lot of folks just want to get home. One woman told me that shes calling in sick tomorrow because she needs a Metro Mental Health day. Thats what she said. Live here in arlington. Im shomari stone. News4. The storm team 4x4 also keeping an eye on the roads tonight. Live pictures on i66 in district. More people were choosing their cars in the wake of metros Safetrack Program. Others went with alternatives like uber and lift. Capital bike share saw a big bump in ridership. Today about 4100 people took their bikes. Well, thats the focus of our flash survey tonight. We wanted to know how your commute was affected if you did not take metro today. More than 40 of people who responded said it was worse. Now to the race for the democratic president ial nomination. Tomorrow is the last big primary election day. Six states will vote. California the biggest prize of all, but polls show Hillary Clinton leading Bernie Sanders by double digits in new jersey. So its possible she could clinch the nomination before the california polls even close. Put another way. Clintons current overall delegate total is 2364 and she is just 19 delegates short of clinching t Bernie Sanders would need 817 delegates to reach the magic number. Steve handelsman is on capitol hill with the signs that this part of the race may be nearing an end. Steve . Reporter definitely, doreen. Thanks. The democrats competition that had been heated seemed to cool a bit now that they are so close to the end. The day before she expects to lock the democratic nomination, Hillary Clinton was still in california. Polls showed democrats closely divided, but shes calling for unity after the primary to bet the presumptive gop nominee. Anyone who has supported senator sanders has a lot at stake in this election in preventing donald trump from being our president , which i can barely say. Reporter clinton is holding her fire on Bernie Sanders, hoping she can woo sanders supporters. The worst followers that makes it harder for her to appeal to them. We need real change in this country, not superficial change, but real change. Reporter meanwhile trump is dividing republicans. Today not backing away from his charge that federal judge gonzalo is biassed in the Trump University case because he is of mexican heritage. All im trying to do is figure out why im being treated so unfairly by a judge. Reporter Top Republicans still back trump, but stay theyre outraged. This is one of the worst mistakes trump has made, and i think it is inexcusable. Reporter in heavily hispanic california, clinton figures what trump said could help her beat him in the state in november. But that is five months away. Clinton plans to celebrate locking the democratic nomination tomorrow night in brooklyn. We plan to be there, butin sanders supporters will be Hillary Clintons summer job. Im steve handelsman, news4. Doreen . Thank you, steve. New information about a man who was murdered in woodbridge. Police say that that victims roommate is wanted in connection with his death.
