into what happened. and along the sacramento river. the bodies of three bay area man have been recovered. they died trying to rescue a child from the river on sunday, the three men were swept away by the river current near the three miles slough bridge and highway 1 60. now the child eventually was pulled to safety . search for those men lasted several days until all three of them were found tuesday night. the victims, all from oakland, were identified as edwin rivas, edwin perez and danilo solorzano. time now is 73 prices at the gas pump are finally starting to go down just a bit. the average price here in california $6.19 a gallon ktvu amanda king town alive in san ramon here with what energy experts say we should expect as we look ahead, amanda. i've seen gas for under $6 in some spots. i have to. it is very exciting. you haven't seen very many of those gas stations. but there

are a few here in san ramon. not quite under $6, though. we're seeing 6 41 here. that's about 20, cents higher than the state average as you mentioned gaza, according to triple a that current average for the state of california. 6 19 now compare that to 6 22 yesterday and that in close to 6 30 a week ago, almost 6 40 a month ago. that's almost 20 cent drop in just the last month. right now. the national average 4 75. that's 17 cents lower a month ago. crude oil is trading under $100 this morning. that's down about 20% from early june. on tuesday, the price of crude oil dropped 9% the largest daily percentage drop we've seen since march. we're also seeing a decline in trading prices for natural gas, gasoline and heating oil. of course, it's great to see these prices come down, but we spoke

to a local energy expert who says it's most likely due to a tough economic outlook across the country and around the world , he says, mounting fears about a global recession. is what's affecting these oil prices. overall slower economy means people drive less people fly last. uh there's less demand for oil to heat and so forth and other mostly in other parts of the world. um and the reduction in demand causes a big drop in prices. bornstein says. with so much uncertainty, there is no way to tell if prices will continue to drop. but in california, he says he doesn't expect to see the average get under $6. he says most economists believe a recession is likely. now his advice. is to take advantage of these lower prices that we're seeing. he also says to shop around, you know, you could see a lower price just up the street, so

maybe take a drive and see where you see those lower prices go to that gas station that has the lower price because he says that will encourage those gas stations that have the higher prices to maybe lower their prices as well. so shop around a little drive around, see what you can see and just take advantage of these lower prices that we are seeing right now live in san ramon, amanda quintana ktvu fax tunis, amanda. thank you. time is 706 relatives and friends of a man injured during a sideshow in vallejo this past weekend or praying he'll survive. 19 year old tyler ingersoll was one of the hundreds of people who gathered near six flags for a sideshow that attracted some 200 drivers last weekend. he was hit by one of the cars and has been hospitalist since sunday night. he's being treated for traumatic brain injuries. he's had three surgeries. already his family and girlfriend are warning everyone about how dangerous it can be just to watch a sideshow. i hate you right now for doing this to me and my family. but i

know we shouldn't have been there either, because things like this happen. watch out for your kids. don't let this go on until you kids out there. they think it's fun in it. you guys think it's okay? you could lose your life just by watching it. anger sells family says doctors still can't tell them if he will survive. the driver who hit ingersoll has not been found. time is now 707. the family from tonga still waiting to make funeral arrangements for a relative who was killed last month in oakland when a car being chased by police after a sideshow crashed into him. relatives of low low saha ca. i say he was not involved in the sideshow or the police chase two sundays ago on international boulevard. the police chase ended when the driver of the car that was being chased crashed into parked cars and motorcycles and one of the motorcycles flew through the air landed on top of so ho chi. and killed him.

very direct impact on us here in the bay area, fire, debris and ash could contaminate the river that flows into east bay muds party reservoir. that could create water quality issues for the nearly 1.5 million customers who rely on that water for their homes and businesses. we are keeping an eye on the water quality. and so once the fire clears, we'll be doing an assessment and will be working with blm, the bureau of land management to check the soil to check the water quality and treat the water accordingly. the fire is also threatening some of pg and east critical facilities , including 11, major distribution and transmission poles, as well as hydro electric generation substation and powerhouse facilities. pg and e says it can divert power away from the fire area to keep the rest of the state powered up even if those systems are damaged. of course, we'll keep you up to date on the wildfires burning in california here on morning zone two and we have a page on our website dedicated to bringing you the latest information. anytime i just had

60 san jose at 61 degrees. here's what you need to know today, and it will be a terrific thursday. it will it will turn part. the cloudy or partly sunny depends on how you want to look at it otherwise clouds line up at the coast, mild temperatures and inland areas in the low eighties of above normal in the san jose area, well, right around cupertino and campbell otherwise, 67 degrees in san francisco and 82 santa rosa. we have the full forecast, and that's still coming up in a matter of minutes. but right now hey, sal, what's it looking like on the roads at this hour? it's going to be a little slower, berta coming off westbound 5 80 pardon me this morning. on the ultimate past and also getting into the main part of livermore . because of an earlier crash. things are getting better, though. finally in that area. the bay bridge has improved quite a bit. if you're trying to get to san francisco on the peninsula, we still have that truck that was at one point overturned on north dont wanna one near the candlestick exit.

you can still see the truck is there it's been righted now and still blocking the right lane. they have to now that it's on its wheels. they have to figure out how to tow it away. it's been badly damaged, but if you're driving into san francisco. probably the best bet is to use to 80 instead. prices at the gas pump are finally beginning to go down. just a little. amanda quintana is in san ramon to tell us what one energy expert says we can expect, amanda yes, well, it is definitely a welcome sight for a lot of us to see these gas prices going down. i know i've seen a few under $6. but here in san ramon, not under $6 at 6 41 here across the street. that's more than 20, cents higher than the state average. according to triple a, the current average for a gallon of regular gas in california. is about 6 19. now compare that to 6 22 average yesterday close to 6 30 a week ago and almost 6 40 a month ago.

the world. um and the reduction in demand causes a big drop in prices. borenstein says. with so much uncertainty, there's really no way to tell if prices will continue to drop. but in california he doesn't expect to see the average get under $6, he says. most believe a recession is likely. now his advice is to take advantage of this take advantage of those lower prices you are seeing, he says. you'll likely see prices differ just on one street. if you drive up and down that street, you might find a lower one. i know some people like to stick to their gas stations, but drive around see what kind of deals you can get, he says. by going to those gas stations with the lower prices, maybe it'll get some of those gas stations with the higher prices to lower their prices. as well. and then we will see if these prices continue to go down. i know they're not low low, but they are lower than we've been experiencing. so that is some

supreme court decision that overturned roe v. wade yesterday. the site has drawn protests from all sides of the debate since the court decision was announced last month. including a man who says he's been protesting there once a week for the past 18 years. i have to find another ministry to do. but back, the real ministry is to change society. this place exists because of the darkness of our society. lack of love for life, and i heard about what was going on down here really felt important to be part of it. silence is complicity. the clinic director say it's been difficult to stay open this long they've had to bring in doctors from other states to perform abortions because no mississippi doctors would work there. time now is 8 13 to campaign to include the right to abortion in california constitution begins this week coalition of reproductive healthcare, human rights and justice groups are endorsing prop. one the campaign launched his website twitter account facebook page and instagram account yesterday. in

november, voters will be asked to decide if the state's constitution should include an amendment that would guarantee a right to abortion and protect access to birth control. california lawmakers are working to protect same sex marriage in our state. many of the lgbtq plus community feared their rights are now in question. following that recent supreme court reversal of roe v. wade there is a special focus on california's proposition eight. the 2000 and eight voter approved ban on same sex marriage are u. s. district court judge struck down prop. eight in 2010, but the text of the proposition is still part of the state constitution. let's talk more about this by welcoming the chair of the lgbt q caucus, silicon valley assemblyman evan low two mornings onto thanks for being with us. good morning. good morning. some people do predict that the same justices who recently overturned roe will reverse the supreme court ruling that allowed same sex marriage. how real to you is the threat that marriage equality will be reversed here in california and the united states. but it's very

good question. it's not so much about the reversal. but the unfortunate truth, which is proposition eight, which again eliminated the rights of same sex couples to marry in california, and, fortunately is long in the land. it is in our constitution. and so what is important is that we see that with this current supreme court to enshrine the rights of all californians is equally important as well. of course, we recognized the importance of supporting women's rights in this critical time, and so over the next few months and two years, we will be, of course, having conversations about ensuring states' rights. exactly that the california leads with love, diversity and inclusion. there is agreement that for a ballot measure that does aimed to formally removed property from our constitution. let's talk about that effort, the money it will take the timing of the effort as well. it is unfortunate that we actually

have to revisit this conversation. i was around in my twenties during proposition eight back in 2000 and eight and it's such a dark. past of our california history, in which californians rights were eliminated. and so what is. ah stark reality is that given the current makeup of this, the united states supreme court we, unfortunately having to have a conversation about spending more time. millions of dollars on a ballot in which we know that california in the majority of california's the majority of americans understand and recognize that love between two individuals should be recognized , and it's frankly a thing of the past. this is so passe. so how is it that we are in this mode? in this current climate? it's an unfortunate reality, but one that i know that californians are up for that challenge. when you think back to 2000 and eight to where we are today, um to some people

feel like it was a long time ago to others. it feels like yesterday when you specifically talk about voters here in california, especially in the previous presidential election, in which president donald trump was elected nationwide. there were some surprises. are you concerned about those surprises again to californians in particular when you put this language about prop eight back on the ballot? of course, that is always a vulnerability, a potential harm that we could see. when you look at data driven key points on metrics on polling on the conversations on where democrats are conservatives independence where the electorate is the notion of love transcends partisanship. we know that to be true, but to your question. is there potential harm that this could actually be dangerous. of course, when anything goes to the ballot so much can be unknown, but i know that all of

californians we are ready and up for the challenge to be able to demonstrate. that we will lead with love and that we're going to come out in strength should this be on a statewide ballot. assemblyman evan low, thank you so much for joining us this morning. thank you much time now is 8 18. it's time for us to get out and take a look at the roads to see if you're still going to leave the house. i can show you some pictures here that will show you that the commute is very much getting into an end here the end phase as we get closer to the nine o'clock hour. the richmond bridge looks very good, and there have been no major issues at the bay bridge right now. that also looks good. it's been lighter than usual day there at the bay bridge. livermore had a lot of rough traffic this morning because of earlier issues. now it's kind of blended into some slowing generally between livermore and pleasant and highway four and 6 80 are still a little bit slow. san mateo bridge looks good, and some of the silicon valley commutes are looking very good. that's been a quiet commute here trying to get into that west

today. it fills in tonight overnight, but not as expansive and it thins out as well. so we will see additional clearing along the beaches for friday, and that means we will have some warmer conditions until then, some partly sunny skies temperatures from 60 and pacifica 83 degrees that is our outside number. that will be experienced in their field and rio vista 83 degrees. also in gilroy, tonight, a blanket of clouds and lows dip into the fifties except antioch. it's 61 degrees. hey, garcia and sal, we still have the full five day forecast with some surprises in store for you. that's next time around, roberta. thank you still to come covid cases on the rise again in the bay area. with health experts say about the new varying that's better at escaping antibodies, but first britain's prime minister has resigned here what he had to say as he made the decision to step down this morning and the next steps to replace him. after the break.

destroyed and no injuries are reported. the electric fire could have a direct impact on us here in the bay area, fire, debris and ash could contaminate the river that flows into east bay muds party reservoir that could create water quality issues for the nearly 1.5 million customers who rely on that water for their homes and businesses. we are keeping an eye on the water quality. and so once the fire clears, we'll be doing an assessment and will be working with blm, the bureau of land management to check the soil to check the water quality and treat the water accordingly. fires also threatening some of pg and e is critical facilities , including 11, major distribution and transmission poles, as well as hydro electric generation substation and powerhouse facilities. pg and e. says it can divert power away from the fire area to keep the rest of the state powered up. even if those systems are damaged, of course, will keep you up to date on the wildfires burning in california throughout mornings on too. we also have a page on our website dedicated to bringing you the latest information. head over to ktvu .com/ wildfires. it is time for
