louse kim, knew but -- nicholas kim, but didn't report to law enforcement. it was a parent that finally called press. when they went to talk to the alleged victim at the school, they say kim interrupted telling them the interview had to be stopped because her parents had not been notified detectives then apologized to the girl and told the principal entering the room was not appropriate. the law says school staff must tell police within 36 hours within learning about an incident. but school leaders are defending the principal, saying the teen and teacher denied the allegation. so he didn't have enough reasonable suspicion required by law. however, the department of education website reads, it is not the job of the mandated reporter to determine whether allegations are valid. kim remains at the school as police now investigate his actions. >> it does concern me that nothing was said to anyone about the situation at all. >> reporter: and school leaders did release a statement saying

the district attorney does not believe the principal broke any laws. but, again, police are still investigating. and they say if they find any evidence the principal did break any laws, they'll present that to the da's office for possible charges. live in san jose, marie medina, kpix 5. >> we tried to reach out to the suspect, zachery drew, but his phone number is now disconnected. a house on the peninsula seems to have a bullseye on it. take a look at it. a truck smashed into the home this afternoon. and it happened just after the family finished repairs from the last time a car flew through. betty yu is there. and, boy, talk about bad luck. huh, betty? >> reporter: that's right, allen. and the homeowners say they believe it has to do with where this house sits, at the very end of a steep road i'm standing on now. neighbors tell us they heard a very loud explosion at the time of this accident. we'll show you what's going on now. we have pg&e crews trying to

>> reporter: so last time this happened it was an suv. the suv did not get as far as the semitruck did this afternoon. they also just finished remodeling from the last accident. now, redwood city fire said that the driver was taken to sanford hospital with nonlife- threatening injuries. pg&e, as you can see, is here on the scene. they tell us at least 100 homes have lost power and they hope to restore that power by tomorrow morning. and the homeowners are expected to be back in the bay area before 10:00 tonight. live in san carlos, betty yu, kpix 5. well, a car also slammed into a house in san jose and the driver still hasn't been found. the sheriff's deputy was following an suv on park avenue early this morning when the driver went on the wrong side of the road and then into that house. the deputy gave up chasing that driver when he smelled a gas leak and then evacuated the people in the home. the gas meter and pipe was damaged but nobody was hurt.

could it happen. phil with the answer? >> reporter: that's why we wanted to find out. you would think at that price the bus could do just about anything. here's the story. for as long as there's been a san francisco, there's been the challenge of getting people up the hills. so it comes a bit of a surprise that muni is spending tens of millions of dollars on a new fleet of bus that is can't climb its legendary hills. why buy it? >> because it serves some of our heavier ridership routses. we want to make sure the buss are big enough to get as many on it as they can. >> reporter: carry more people. just don't carry them up all the hills. >> they recommend we do not climb hills above 10%. >> reporter: so how many of these buses did we buy? >> about 100. >> reporter: so we bought 100 buses that can't go up the hills of san francisco? >> the 60-foot buses are meant to go on grades below 10%. >> reporter: so your answer is, they can't go up the hills? >> they're doing exactly what they're supposed to do.

>> reporter: what they're supposed to do is carry a lot of people. about 30 more riders than the smaller buses on the road. and -- >> they're more reliable. they provide a better service. and they're better buses than what we have in place right now. >> reporter: but even if the new muni buses could make it up the hill with the extra riders, muni still couldn't use them. why? >> a lot of the streets are much narrower. >> reporter: why didn't we guy buses that would go everywhere? >> it would cost more money. >> reporter: and the solution? well, to buy more buses. but these are going to be smaller bus that is can make it up the hills. and you wonder why muni costs? phil matier, kpix 5. raw emotion inside the santa clara county jail. hears got under underway for three jail guards. all charged with murder in the death of michael tyree last august. he suffered from mental illness

>> thank you. >> hillary clinton is popular with african american voters. bernie sanders needs to do well elsewhere, starting with vermont. he before do well in vermont! >> he is projected to win vermont by a dramatic margin. >> where else? >> he's dedicated a lot of resources to colorado and also to massachusetts. and those are two states that, for example, if he didn't do well in, it would be a bit of an embarrassment of the campaign in light of the resources he's dedicated there. we don't know what is going to happen in minnesota. it's sort of a wildcard right now. but he could win there. it's within a very, very difficult place to poll. so in a number of these places, we're really not sure what's going to happen because in these primaries, especially in a place like minnesota where there's a caucus, hard to pull. anybody could win. and bernie sanders has dedicated resource there is as well. >> and it all comes down to delegates. and clinton is so far ahead right now when you include the super delegates, is there anything bernie sanders could do to catch up? >> there's two things.

no. 1. try to go to the delegates unpledged. there's about 150 unpledged super delegates. and and one thing he's been doing is trying to get pledged candidates, those saying they'll vote hillary clinton, to change their minds. there was an article an how bernie sanders supporters have been trying to change other delegates to change their mind and freaking them out with aggressive voicemails, e-mails. so there's a couple of ways he could try to get back some of the super delegates. >> republicans. is this a make or break day for everybody other than donald trump since he's so far ahead in the polls? and especially i'm thinking about texas because does anyone -- does trump even have enough support to get all those delegates? or will they divide up texas? >> that's certainly a possibility. texas, the way they award delegates is by congressional district. so it's not the case you'll just win one bucket of delegates in texas.

we could see a split there. but if ted cruz doesn't do extremely well there, doesn't have a big showing, it's going to be a huge humiliation for him. he's dedicated so many sources there. that's his home state and the one he represents in the senate. and polls show trump with a surge in that state. that would be a huge cue for donald trump to win that away from ted cruz. if ted cruz lost, it would be a huge blow to his campaign. we'll be watching that very closely. hard to imagine cruz staying on any kind of project ride everywhere if he loses texas. >> yeah. >> we were just looking at the map there. they're tallying up the number of delegates there. 600 for republicans. so really a critical day tomorrow. how is everything going to shake out right now? >> reporter: right now, basically trump that'll do well in the southern states. then you have other candidates that are basically trying to take some of these northern states. again, so if you think of marco rubio and ted cruz as the

bernie sanders of super tuesday. they're going to be shooting for colorado. they'll be looking at vermont, minnesota as well. massachusetts. so they'll be looking at those nonsouthern states. now, in six states tomorrow, if a candidate gets 50% or more, they get the whole she job bang. they'll try to -- shebang. they'll try to pull some delegates for themselves. if it's not 50%, it's proportional, and they want to keep it proportional. depress that for trump and come away with delegates, too, if even if they lose. >> can't wait! >> we'll be right back here! >> thank you.

jackets to stay dry. that is if there was fog. here's how it works. when the fog comes in off the coast, it literally saturates the canopy of these trees. then that moisture comes down like rainfall. and it literally soaks up the ground around the trees. and if that rainfall doesn't hit the ground, well, it could really stress out those trees and possibly over time even kill them. each redwood tree requires 500 gallons of water a day. all along the north coast to south to monteray, entire stands of redwoods are in danger. and many different species of trees around them are dying. researchers at uc berkeley have determined that coastal fog has steadily diminished for decades. >> they grow slowly and live on a different time scale for humans. but what we do know, again, is they're adapted to live in a very specific environment that gives them a lot of moisture. and so inevitably, if the client continues to be drier,

there will be pretty significant consequences for the redwoods. >> reporter: do you have any reason to believe this may continue, mike? >> certainly! i i have no reason to think it doesn't, that it won't continue. may not seem like much, but some parts of the bay area get 40% of their annual precipitation from going, from due, from the stuff in the air in the morning. doesn't seem like rainfall. it's very critical to our area around here. what's critical, too, a little rainfall. we could use that. hang on. we'll be talking about that in a second. one more really warm day. antioch, 79 degrees. alameda, 72. 77 in brentwood. and 77 in san jose. wave goodbye to that. cooler tomorrow. by this weekend, highs in the 50s and 60s with rain and wind. it is still 70 right now in oakland with cloud cover moving in. san jose, 70. santa rosa, 66 degrees. tonight, 40s and 50s. vallejo, 45. san jose, upper 40s. water here, not that great.

especially in an el nino winter where we expected more. san francisco, 82% of average. livermore, 86% of average. those numbers will surely climb over the next couple weeks because we have a major pattern change. the pattern that we have been in is the one i'm showing you now which is currently there. we have another storm. there have been plenty of storms over the past five weeks. but not here locked by this ridge of high pressure. oregon, yes. washington, yes. british columbia, yes. the bay area, huh-huh. not even close. as soon as that ridge moves, provided the storms keep coming, it'll be our turn. guess what happens this weekend? the ridge moves. it'll be over southern arizona allowing the storms to most of in. the latest indication is we could be as wet as we were in december. as wet as we were the majority of january. perhaps even wetter as storm after storm after storm will not hit areas to the north but will be coming right here. so how much rainfall? well, futurecast will paint a picture that shows everywhere north of the bay area in the

red or yellow which would be 5 or more inches of rain over a 7- day period. but more importantly, for us here, at least 2 or 3 inches of rain for the entire bay area by this time next week. an entire month's amount of rainfall for march with more storms coming in after that. so we'll certainly get wetter. san jose tomorrow, not wetter. you'll avoid the rain. 72 for you. redwood city, 71. walnut creek, 69 for you. a little cloudier. 70 for nevada. extended forecast, rain moves in starting wednesday night. we get a break on thursday. we get a break on friday. the weekend is looking soggy. but it's great. rain and wind heavy at times both saturday and sunday. and that may be the start of a rather wet month. dennis, sports, 2 minutes away. a sonoma resort town struggling with a homeless crisis. we learned trash from these camps could quickly pollute the

forward draymond g for his action well, there might be a little trouble in paradise. despite having lost only 5 games all season, warriors forward dremond green is apologizing.

>> green says, mfer, come and make me. he actually said, the hell with it. i'm not coming out for the 2nd half. took off his shoes and said, i'm not playing. >> steven a. smith says that draymond green wouldn't come back in the 2nd half. >> my mistake. i didn't come to the locker room. >> i apologize to my teammates, my coaching staff, this organization. i let my emotions get the best of me. i will never quit on my teammates as some have reported. i will not quit on my coaching staff. i will never quit on this organization. >> it's blowing up nationally. maybe there's something wrong internally with the warriors. >> i was looking at that story. sure, fine, believe that. we're in shambles right now. [ laughter ] >> reporter: western conference player of the week. that's steph curry, once again. may have trouble defending his crown this week, though. missed practice today with a sprained ankle.

he's questionable for tomorrow night's game with the hawks. he played through the injury saturday night after getting the ankle retaped. steph curry spent the day in berkeley with cal senior day. his son, nick, in the final minutes walked on for the bears, who rarely plays hit a 3. nobody was happier than dad who saw the 3-pointers from the recent road trip. >> really proud of my son. great teammate. he loves the game. and for him to get in was phenomenal. and for him to hit a 3, that probably meant more to me than steph's did the other night. don't tell him a said said that. -- said that. [ laughter ] last night on "game day," i asked the bay area news group for his prediction what the end game is for kaepernick and the 49ers. >> reporter: what is going to happen? and if they do trade him, what is his value? >> well, his value's not going to be high very much.

i mean, you're probably going to get amid to low end draft pick for him. probably not the second round pick that smith could get. just because colin is coming down on this year, somehow, i think, he'll get traded for a lower value pick or get released. >> reporter: if you were stuck in traffic trying to visit near woods over the weekend, here's what you missed. [bleep] >> idiots. [bleep] >> wow [ chuckle ] >> pretty much summed up the week for shane lowry. cal has won 7 straight and one game out of 1st place in the pac12. how about that? and may have won the race but found out the hard way it's a little harder to stop on the dirt track than it is on the oval. >> old dominion's brandon steep grabs the rebound.

passes it out to the open man. one problem, his teammate's not in the game! that's a getaway moment. >> plus, steph's shot heard around the world. >> they have a timeout. decided not to use it. curry! bang, bang! oh, what a shot from curry! >> 38-footer for the game- winner in overtime. you know, the draymond green issue is interesting because steven a. smith's report would seem to suggest, if it's accurate, that he got his information from somebody inside the locker room. >> uh-huh. >> and i've always seen the 49ers -- excuse me, the warriors as a tight group -- >> nobody talks. >> so that's a little disconcerning if, in fact, the report is true. >> that's right, if it's true. the news is always on at kpix.com. >> and join us tonight at 10:00 for kbcw. we'll see you then! i mean, whoo.
