"noble" stands for the national organization of black law enforcement executives. these are the key recommendations he is going to be looking at: organization of the system, community engagement, training, patrol priorities, the selection of personnel, employee performance, use of force, how much bias comes into place as well as internal affairs and discipline. the original report was initiated after the killing of oscar grant captured on this cell phone video which ignited a firestorm of controversy over bart police practices. officer johannes mehserle shot grant with his gun after he says he mistook his firearm for his taser on new year's day

back in 2009. but bart police chief kenton rainey is going to be announcing this new assessment today and we'll have the latest for you today at noon on kpix 5. live in san francisco, anne makovec, kpix 5. >> the new assessment comes as a movie about the oscar grant killing makes its debut in theaters this weekend. that film is called fruitvale station and it chronicles oscar grant's final days. new this morning, a report reveals just how safe and unsafe bridges are across the country. every day drivers take 260 million trips over structurally deficient bridges. that doesn't mean they'll collapse, but it does mean that they require significant maintenance. more than one in nine bridges needs repairs. the federal highway administration estimates that repairs would cost $76 billion. the report comes less than a month after the may collapse of a washington state bridge over

the skagit river. that bridge is set to reopen today. crews have been working round the clock on a replacement since an 18-wheeler hit a bridge beam causing it to collapse. two other vehicles dropped into the water. amazingly, nobody was killed in that incident. and a fast-moving grass fire is the reason that nobody spent the night at a motel 6 in fairfield. embers from a small grass fire blew on the building at 7 p.m. the roof caught fire. firefighters went room to room knocking down doors to make sure everybody was out. they did get out safely for the most part including a guest from colorado who was about to take a shower weather her husband yelled to her to get -- when her husband yelled to her to get out. >> there was smoke and dirty and not fun. it's not vacation, you know? trust me. >> doesn't sound like t everybody got out safely. the fire also threatened other buildings along interstate 80 at the suisun valley road exit. >> we always talk about the winds and how they fan the flames in these fires. it's a little windy today.

>> you know, this time of year it gets very breezy in the afternoon. of course we'll see some winds 20 to 30 miles an hour gusts again. not as windy as yesterday. outside still breezy in spots. patchy fog at the coastline. temperatures now holding in the 50s. looks like we'll see winds kicking up again. still sustained about 20 miles per hour at sfo. 12 in san francisco. 15 into oakland. you have some winds also blowing into parts of the north bay and in through the delta so we'll see winds picking up of course into the afternoon. that afternoon sea breeze will keep the temperatures down but still maybe slightly warmer than yesterday where we topped out only in the mid-70s today. maybe one with to three degrees warmer. 74 expected in livermore, 73 san jose, and 63 degrees and breezy in san francisco. we'll have more on your weather coming up. let's check the roads with elizabeth. thanks, lawrence. sadly we have just confirmed with chp this accident in san mateo is a fatal crash. southbound 101 around hillsdale

boulevard exit. all lanes are open so the car ran off the road and chp says they don't think they will have to block lanes while the investigation and the clearing the accident now. but again they don't think they will have to block a lane later on in the morning commute. so southbound 101 we're not seeing any big delays but the accident is a fatal one. all right. elsewhere westbound 580 kind of sluggish already this morning coming out of the altamont pass and through the livermore valley. not helping matters is a stall in the westbound lanes approaching north greenville. and we also had an earlier crash in antioch approaching hillcrest. that's backed up the morning commute pretty significantly. red traffic sensors from "a" street. once you get towards pittsburg and bay point, then things improve. and a quick look update at the bay bridge toll plaza. no metering lights yet. we are starting to see a few delays some minor ones in a couple of the cash lanes and chp issued high wind advisory for here and the san mateo bridge still in effect. that is traffic. back to you guys.

>> thank you. a tree trimmer used his chainsaw to distract the suspected carjacker and help end a massive manhunt in the oakland hills. it all happened yesterday in the area of golf links road and mountain boulevard. kpix 5's juliette goodrich was first on the scene and she talked to the man who came face to face with that suspect. >> then i see this guy over there. and he, you know, says, come here. and i thought it was a cop. >> reporter: it wasn't a cop. it was a suspected carjacker hiding from the cops after a high-speed chase from san leandro to oakland. victor happened to be trimming trees in the area. >> he called me again and i come to him and he asked me if i have a phone. >> reporter: the suspect abandoned the stolen car along 580 and golf links road. after they ditched the car, they took off on foot. one of the suspects was arrested immediately. the other took off running up this hill and was hiding in those bushes. >> my heart was beating so --

>> reporter: the suspect asked victor again if he had a phone. does it amaze you that there were cops all over this neighborhood and yet you're having a face-to-face conversation with a suspected carjacker? >> it felt like in a movie. >> reporter: cops nearby searching just feet away. victor told the suspect he didn't have a phone. and he pretended to keep on working. did you behind behind a tree to call 911? >> yeah. this big tree, i pretended to be cutting branches and went kind of behind it kept my chainsaw revved up. >> reporter: after he discreetly called police, cops found the suspect hiding in a neighbor's bush nearby and arrested him. juliette goodrich, kpix 5. >> the reward has grown to more than $30,000 to catch an east bay killer. 22-year-old was shot after a fender-bender accident in north oakland a week ago. the victim's car was hit when he pulled over shot by the man in the second car.

the suspect car was a late model four-door silver sedan. the taliban is now claiming responsibility for a deadly attack on the bagram air base in afghanistan. this is file video of the base near kabul. four nato coalition members were killed there yesterday when a rocket hit the air field. it happened just hours after the taliban agreed to hold peace talks. afghanistan president hamid karzai now says he will not pursue peace talks with the taliban unless the u.s. steps out of the negotiations and the taliban stops the violent attacks. president obama is in germany right now discussing several topics. these are live pictures from berlin where the president has just wrapped up his speech and apparently is being serenaded by a violin soloist. some of the topics included the node to reduce the world's nuclear stockpiles. obama has now departed his hotel for the brandenberg gate. he will be speaking again shortly. ♪[ music ]
