Protecting Older Workers against discrimination act very bipartisan bill that will correct the law passed years ago to protect Older Workers from discrimination we know its a problem we hear about it in particular from Older Workers in the tech sector but that its a problem across the country that aarp did a study showing three out ofng five workers over 45 are suing or experiencing themselves discrimination in the workplace. So had happened aboutha ten years ago, there was a case who actually came to our hearin hearing, brought a case of age discrimination went all the way up to the Supreme Court and they changed the burden of proof for the test an older worker needs to show to move forward with thear case.

Here is the information we were told by chp before our last live report. They tell us just after midnight a female driving alone in a volkswagen, one of those cars we just showe you, drove the wrong way on northbound 101 near the third street overpass. Now they say that she hit a taxi that was carrying a driver and two passengers in it. All four individuals have died as a result of this deadly wrongway crash on northbound 101 in San Francisco. We know that one passenger in the taxi was apparently ejected from the taxi when this crash took place. Chp is investigating right now exactly why this driver was going the wrongway on the freeway causing this deadly crash, but we do know there was some luggage on the freeway from the taxi. Its unclear exactly where they were heading to as we take you back out here live to the situation, the deadly wrongway accident in San Francisco. We see the one and two lanes are reopening. When it does actually, since it is reopening theyre going to close off
Youre looking at pictures of the horrifying crash scene out there. All the northbound lanes of highway 101 near paul avenue in San Francisco are closed now. Lets go over to sal who is looking at the area and also at how to get around it because this is a big part of the commute. It is coming into San Francisco. Obviously. This is northbound 101. You see the overton crossing there, thats 3rd street crossing over the freeway. This happened just before 3rd street, paul avenue exit. Northbound 101 is shut down for this very serious crash. I will let you know that traffic is going to be affected obviously on the peninsula. Northbound 101 is slowing down and people are getting off the freeway. The best way for you to get into San Francisco if youre coming from the peninsula is to use 380 and then 280 to get around doing this. Thats what i would do or not get on the freeway and use city streets and somehow get on the freeway after the closure which again is northbound 101 approaching 3rd stre
Her car crashed into this taxicab from the national taxicab. A 60yearold man was driving the taxicab. We dont know their identifications quite yet. But right now chp told us where they believe that the volkswagen sedan began driving the wrong way. We did get multiple calls at multiple locations. One of the locations was northbound 101 at the 280 split. So it is very ss traveling for quite some time. So because the far left lanes are open the paul ab exit is now closed. Giana i think you have some more work arounds for this mess right now. Yeah, i do. Youre going to want to use the 280 northbound 101. They opened up two lanes. They had all lanes completely shut down just after midnight this morning. The two left lanes are open. They are diverting traffic off. Youre going to see some delays there also. Some delays will continue there also. You can see on our maps here 280s in the green. Youre definitely up to speed. Right now were seeing delays as far back as candle stick so a slow ride
