is looking to take shape here. a few high clouds coming in. that's why the lows are on the mild side. there's no breeze whatsoever. at least so far. we'll see if it develops. but there's 50s for some. 60s for many. and 70s, even on some of the temps. on the peninsula. filling in. 60s, 50s for some. but low 60s for many. even over to fremont. i mean, even san mateo and foster city. thundershower activity, just south of tahoe. these higher clouds are with us. and everything coming around the big dome of high pressure. 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s through the interior. 5:01. 80. is that better yet? >> 80 is a little better. i don't know if you know this. but they're doing some roadwork there, steve. on 80 westbound. as you drive out toward the area. we'll talk about that in a second. i want to check on the altamonte pass as we always do. and you can see traffic is busy there. as you drive out to pleasanton and livermore. we also have traffic looks good out to castro valley. 80 is better. they finally picked up the cones and just confirmed that.

and we believe. it's unconfirmed by police. but we believe that the car ran into a fire hydrant, right here on this corner. and it caused water, just gushing into the air. a geyser that we estimate may have been about 20 to 30 feet high. at this point, it's unclear, in terms of the victims, what their injuries are. we know at least three people were treated for injuries. we are not sure if they were taken to the the hospital or what their status is at this time. but this all happened right near the martin luther king jr. pool. and again, around 1:30 in the morning. it's pretty incredible that no one died in this crash. and back out here live. we want to show you this. this is where the fire hydrant used to be. you can see, it is completely sheared off. and it is unclear when the water will be cleared from the roadway. actually, we'd like to show you, there is still some flooding from here. it's actually right behind us. we'll show you here, this entire lane, one of the lanes of third street has been blocked off for minor flooding here. so it's unclear again what exactly happened, what led up to this crash. but thankfully, no one died

here. again, three people treated for injuries. their injuries unknown at this time. when we have some more information, we'll bring it to you. live from san francisco, cristina rendon, ktvu fox 2 news. >> thank you, christina. also today, community groups and advocates are expected to sound off at port of oakland's commissioners. that is after the report that oakland officials used this as a launching point to remove undocumented immigrants from the country. the bay area news group announces i.c.e. carried away thousands of people. legal arguments over a proposed travel ban on muslims by the trump administration. the 9th circuit court in san francisco will hear this case. this proposed ban will be on people coming into this country from seven mostly muslim countries. including syria, iraq, iran and

libya. a group called muslim advocates is arguing on behalf of 34 individuals who claim their families are being torn apart because their waiver applications have been denied. or they have been on hold for a long time. the government, on the other hand, is arguing the ban is legal. and they want this case thrown out. meantime, another judge on the 9th circuit court, temporarily blocked the trump administration from enforcing new restrictions on immigrants applying for asylum here in the u.s. now, the policy would require migrants who pass through another country to apply for asylum here in the u.s. after first apply in that country before coming to the united states. but the judge called that policy inconsistent with current laws. so right now, it's on hold until a lawsuit is settled. had morning. both democrats and republicans are claiming victory, after the testimony of former special counsel robert mueller. >> i gather that you believe

that knowingly accepting foreign assistance during a presidential campaign is an unethical thing to do. >> and a crime. >> and a crime. >> in their questioning, democrats focused on mueller's findings that the trump campaign met several times with russian operatives who said they had negative information about hillary clinton. republicans highlighted the part of mueller's report that said there is no evidence of a direct conspiracy by the trump campaign. >> it's time for the curtain to close on the russia hoax. the conspiracy theory is dead. >> house democratic leaders say their oversight into election interference is far from over. they plan to file lawsuits to get more testimony. house speaker nancy pelosi said impeachment is still on the table. in addition it it comes to a point where the cone of silence and the white house prevents us from getting that information, that will not prevent us from going forward.

in fact, it's even more grounds to go forward. >> now, we spoke with u.c. hastings law professor about the legal implications. he said mueller kept the strong actions within the larger content of election meddling and the threat to american democracy. >> that we have an ongoing threat from russia and probably will be getting it from other countries as well. and that needs to be addressed. and underlying that is the idea that woo need -- we need to examine the president's conduct with respect to that. >> levine said mueller's refusal to answer certain questions in the report indicates the justice still has unfinished. >> he certainly alluded to the fact that there are serious investigations going on. but he simply couldn't speak of. mueller spun off, as i said, more than a dozen investigations to other parts of the justice department. now, we don't know what is going to come of those. it may well be that there will

be further indictments. >> levine says mueller defended the integrity of his report and his decision not to indict the president on obstruction of justice. but he noy noted mueller called president trump's comments about hacking and e- mail leaks unpatriotic. new this morning, from the united kingdom and his first address to parliament. boris johnson said he would make sure that britain leaves the european union on october 31st as scheduled. johnson said he is intent of making britain the greatest place on earth. meantime, puerto rico's governor ricardo rossells announced late last night, he will resign on august 2nd, because of a texting scandal. this follows days of the biggest protests puerto rico

>> resigned in the middle of this crisis. the law, which supplies the constitution in that sense calls for the secretary of justice to become the next governor for the remaining of the term. >> so instead, justice secretary wanda vasquez is next in line. she would become puerto rico's second female governor. lawmakers said they plan to start the impeachment process. live in the newsroom, elissa harrington, ktvu. 5:10 is the time now. there may soon be an insurance crisis in california. coming up, the cost of living in the high-fire area. and the obstacles some people face with trying to get smrns insurance. >> some people have on to make a decision on whether they're going to buy groceries or pay their utility bill. >> outage over the plans for a rate hike. the reason pg&e says it needs that money. and if you are hitting the road right now.
