Crash reported on Highway 120 in Manteca

THIS IS KCRA THREE NEWS AT NOON. THE SOUTHEAST BRACING FOR HURRICANE HELENE. HOW COMMUNITIES ARE PREPARING AS THE STORM INCHES CLOSER AND CLOSER TO FLORIDA. PLUS A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR HOMELESS SHELTER APPROVED IN ELK GROVE. THE IMPACT THE CITY HOPES IT WILL HAVE ON THE HOMELESS CRISIS. AND THE END OF AN ERA IN OAKLAND SPORTS. HOW A’S FANS ARE PREPARING TO CHEER ON THE A’S AT THE COLISEUM. ONE FINAL TIME. IF YOU ARE IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THE STATE AND YOU HAVE ACCESS AND YOU’RE IN AN EVACUATION ZONE AND YOU’VE BEEN TOLD TO EVACUATE, YOU DO HAVE TIME TO DO IT NOW. SO DO IT. SOUTHEAST BRACING FOR HURRICANE HELENE. RIGHT NOW. IT’S MOVING TOWARDS THE STATE OF FLORIDA. IT’S BEEN UPGRADED TO A CATEGORY THREE STORM. THE PANHANDLE IS A POTENTIAL TARGET FOR LANDFALL LATER TODAY. STATES OF EMERGENCY ARE IN PLACE ACROSS FLORIDA, GEORGIA, AND THE CAROLINAS. THANKS FOR JOINING US AT NOON. I’M LISA GONZALEZ. JAY GRAY HAS BEEN TRACKING THE STORM FOR US. HE’S IN TALLAHASSEE RIGHT NOW WITH THE LATEST CONDITIONS AND THE FINAL PREPARATIONS UNDERWAY. OKAY, LET’S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHERE WE ARE WITH THIS STORM STILL CHURNING IN THE GULF, RUSHING TOWARD THE WEST COAST OF FLORIDA AND REALLY GAINING SPEED AND MOMENTUM, IT’S THOSE WARM WATERS, MID 80S TO NEAR 90 IN THE GULF THAT ACT AS ROCKET FUEL FOR THIS STORM. THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER SAYING, THIS ONE’S GOING TO BE A BEAST THAT IT’S GOING TO HAVE WINDS GUSTING WELL OVER 100 MILES AN HOUR AT LANDFALL. AND THEY WARN ABOUT WHAT COULD BE. AND I’M QUOTING HERE, A CATASTROPHIC AND DEADLY STORM SURGE AS HIGH AS 20FT IN SOME AREAS. THERE IS JUST GOING TO BE A LOT OF DEBRIS. I MEAN, IT IS GOING TO IT IS GOING TO PUSH DOWN A LOT OF TREES AND IT WILL BE IT WILL CAUSE SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE. NOW WE ALWAYS PREPARE FOR THE WORST AND HOPE FOR THE BEST TIME TO PREPARE. IT’S JUST ABOUT OVER AT THIS POINT. AND SO THOSE WHO HAVEN’T MOVED TO A SHELTER MOVED TO HIGHER GROUND OR OUTSIDE THE STRIKE ZONE, THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE TO RIDE THIS THING OUT. NOW, WE KNOW THAT YOU’VE GOT POWER TEAMS AS WELL AS RESPONSE AND RECOVERY TEAMS STAGED JUST OUTSIDE THE STRIKE ZONE. THEY ARE READY TO MOVE IN. BUT BUT CAN’T DO THAT UNTIL THE COAST IS CLEAR AND IN AREAS LIKE TALLAHASSEE, A LITTLE INLAND, THEY STILL EXPECT TO SEE MAJOR HURRICANE WINDS HERE. AND THE FEAR IS THAT’S GOING TO BRING DOWN A LOT OF THE OLD TREES, OAKS THAT ARE HUNDREDS OF YEARS OLD AND THAT WILL PULL POWER LINES DOWN AS WELL. AND SOME OF THE HARDEST HIT AREAS, THEY EXPECT THAT THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE TO CUT THEIR WAY THROUGH TO GET TO PEOPLE WHO MAY BE THERE TO RESTORE POWER AND THAT COULD TAKE NOT DAYS, BUT WEEKS IN SOME AREAS. THERE IS A BIG CONCERN WITH THE INTENSITY, THE MAGNITUDE OF THIS STORM. FORECASTERS SAYING IT COULD STILL BE HURRICANE STRENGTH. WELL INLAND EVEN AS IT CROSSES INTO GEORGIA. THE WIND FIELD WITH THIS MASSIVE SYSTEM, ITS FOOTPRINT ABOUT 500 MILES OR SO, THAT’S THE LATEST RIGHT NOW ON HELENE. I’M JAY GRAY IN TALLAHASSEE. NOW BACK TO YOU. SPEAKING OF HURRICANE HELENE, LET’S TAKE A LIVE LOOK OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW IN NAPLES, FLORIDA, AND YOU CAN SEE THE CONDITIONS THAT PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE ON THE PIER WATCHING THE, YOU KNOW, VERY ACTIVE WAVES COMING IN AND THOSE PRETTY DARK CLOUDS OVERHEAD. METEOROLOGIST EILEEN JAVORA IS TRACKING IT FOR US. KIND OF A WAITING GAME RIGHT NOW, RIGHT? YEAH. A PLACE LIKE NAPLES IS GOING TO BE FINE. ABSOLUTELY FINE. THEY’RE GOING TO SEE A LOT OF WAVES. MAYBE SOME RAIN BANDS AT BEST. BUT NORTH OF TAMPA, ALONG THE COAST HERE ALONG THE WEST COAST, THE GULF COAST OF FLORIDA, THAT IS WHERE THE ZONE WILL BE FOR THE MOST DAMAGE. WHEN THIS SYSTEM COMES ON SHORE, YOU CAN SEE OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS ON DOPPLER RADAR CLEARLY THAT EYE BEGINNING TO REALLY TAKE SHAPE AS IT COMES INTO RADAR RANGE AND IT IS STRENGTHENING. WE KNOW THAT WHEN WE SEE THESE DEEPER ORANGES AND YELLOWS, THAT INDICATES STRENGTHENING AND DEEPER CONVECTION HERE AROUND THE EYEWALL, AND AGAIN FROM THE CENTER OF THE EYEWALL, THAT IS WHERE ABOUT 60 MILES FROM THE CENTER. THAT’S WHERE THOSE HURRICANE FORCE WINDS ARE. SO THEY’RE JUST OFF THE COAST OF SARASOTA AND TAMPA. TAMPA IS ABOUT 150 MILES AWAY FROM THE CENTER OF THE STORM. THEY’RE LIKELY GOING TO JUST SEE A PUSH OF SOME SEAWATER COMING INTO THE BAY THERE, BUT LIKELY FINE, FINE. BUT NORTH OF THERE. AND THIS IS CALLED THE BIG BEND AREA. THIS IS LIKELY WHERE THEY ARE GOING TO SEE SOME OF THAT STORM SURGE, THAT SEAWATER COMING ONSHORE. BUT AS JAY GRAY MENTIONED, THE CITY OF TALLAHASSEE MIGHT GET VERY CLOSE TO THE EYE WALL WHEN IT COMES ONSHORE. AND BECAUSE THIS SYSTEM IS A FAST MOVER, IT DOESN’T HAVE A LOT OF TIME TO SEE THOSE WINDS COME DOWN AS IT COMES IN, COMES INLAND. THAT’S THE TREND WITH THESE HURRICANES. THEY GO INLAND AND THE WIND FIELD DECREASES. BUT BECAUSE IT’S MOVING SO FAST AND LIKELY WILL MAKE LANDFALL THIS EVENING NEAR TALLAHASSEE, WHICH SITS ABOUT 25 MILES FROM THE COAST, THEY’RE PROBABLY GOING TO SEE HURRICANE FORCE WINDS AND STILL LIKELY A MAJOR HURRICANE, A CATEGORY THREE HURRICANE. WHEN IT COMES ONSHORE AGAIN LATER THIS EVENING, SOMETHING WE’LL CERTAINLY BE WATCHING THROUGH ALL OUR NEWSCASTS THIS EVENING. TONIGHT. LISA, BACK TO YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, EILEEN, FOR TRACKING THAT. TURNING TO OTHER NEWS, THIS AFTERNOON, A SACRAMENTO MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT WAS HURT THIS MORNING IN A HIT AND RUN CRASH. IT ALL HAPPENED NEAR ALBERT EINSTEIN MIDDLE SCHOOL IN ROSEMONT. THE STUDENT WAS RIDING A BIKE IN A CROSSWALK WHEN A CAR HIT THEM. THE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL SAYS THE DRIVER DID NOT STOP AFTER THE CRASH. THE STUDENT WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. THE PRINCIPAL HAS REACHED OUT TO THE FAMILY. THEY’RE WAITING FOR UPDATES ON THE STUDENT’S CONDITION. SACRAMENTO POLICE MOTORCYCLE OFFICERS HIT THE STREETS OF HIGHLAND PARK THIS MORNING TRYING TO PREVENT CRASHES INVOLVING PEOPLE WALKING IN THE AREA. OFFICERS CONDUCTING THE TRAFFIC SAFETY OPERATION LOOKED FOR DRIVERS SPEEDING, NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES OF THE ROAD, AND DISTRACTED DRIVERS. THE DEPARTMENT SAYS THIS EFFORT IS ALL A PART OF PEDESTRIAN SAFETY MONTH. SACRAMENTO POLICE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF THE OPERATION AND HOW MAKING CONTACT WITH DRIVERS, NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES DOESN’T ALWAYS MEAN THEY’LL GET CITED. TAKE THE FORM OF ENFORCEMENT. SO ME WRITING A TICKET TO SOMEBODY, IT CAN TAKE THE FORM OF EDUCATION. SO ME HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH THAT DRIVER TO EXPLAIN WHY IT’S UNSAFE, THAT THEY’RE DOING WHAT THEY’RE DOING, MAYBE GIVE A PERSONAL STORY AND MAYBE THAT RESONATES WITH THEM. AND WE JUST HEARD FROM SAC PD, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SAYS OFFICERS PULLED OVER 106 DRIVERS THIS MORNING AND WROTE 54 TICKETS AS PART OF THE OPERATION, SO ABOUT HALF OF THE PEOPLE THAT WERE PULLED OVER GOT TICKETS. A TRAGIC WEEK IN FAIRFIELD THE CITY, SEEING TWO DEADLY CRASHES IN OVER A 24 HOUR PERIOD. THE FIRST HAPPENED TUESDAY NIGHT ON EAST TABOR AVENUE NEAR MANOR AVENUE. A PREGNANT WOMAN WAS HIT WHILE CROSSING THE ROAD. SHE LOST HER UNBORN BABY AND IS IN CRITICAL CONDITION. THE SECOND HAPPENED YESTERDAY MORNING ON WATERMAN BOULEVARD BETWEEN CAPITOLA WAY AND BARBER DRIVE. 44 YEAR OLD REGINA PEREZ NICHOLAS WAS IN THE CROSSWALK WHEN SHE WAS HIT. FAIRFIELD POLICE SAY THERE HAVE BEEN FIVE PEDESTRIAN CRASHES IN THE PAST MONTH. THE CITY SAYS THEY’VE ALREADY CHANGED SPEED LIMITS ON STREETS THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS PROBLEM AREAS IN ELK GROVE. A NEW PLAN TO KEEP THE UNHOUSED POPULATION, AT LEAST FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS. THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVING A TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT TO GET A NEW SHELTER UP AND RUNNING. THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPTED A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO CONTRACT WITH A GROUP CALLED THE GATHERING IN TO PROVIDE YEAR ROUND HOMELESS SHELTER OPERATIONS. IT’S A $4.5 MILLION CONTRACT THAT WILL RUN THE SHELTER FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS. THE SITE EARMARKED FOR THE FACILITY IS ON EAST STOCKTON BOULEVARD. THE CITY LEASED THE PORTION OF CALVARY CHRISTIAN FACILITY SO LAST NIGHT’S COUNCIL MEETING, SOME WERE AGAINST THIS RESOLUTION, BUT MOST OF THE PEOPLE THERE WERE IN FAVOR. I’M GOING TO BE THE ONLY STANDOUT THAT STANDS UP HERE BY MYSELF AND TELLS YOU HOW DISAPPOINTED I AM IN YOU THAT YOU DIDN’T SEEK ANY COMMUNITY INPUT BEFORE DECIDING ON A $5 MILLION CONTRACT, ESSENTIALLY. IT’S IMPORTANT THAT WE DO OUR PART TO LEND A HAND UP AND BEING OUR BROTHER AND SISTER’S KEEPER. THE SHELTER WILL OPERATE THROUGH AT LEAST OCTOBER OF 2028. IN THE MEANTIME, THE CITY WILL BEGIN LOOKING FOR LONG-TERM SHELTER OPTIONS IN 2025. WELL, IT IS THE DAY OAKLAND A’S FANS ARE SAD TO SEE FINALLY ARRIVED TODAY. THE A’S ARE PLAYING WHAT WILL LIKELY BE THEIR FINAL HOME GAME EVER, AS THE OAKLAND A’S BAY AREA FANS WERE LINING UP OUTSIDE OF THE COLISEUM THIS MORNING AHEAD OF THE GAME AS THEY PREPARE TO SAY GOODBYE TO THEIR BELOVED TEAM AND SAY GOODBYE TO THE END OF AN ERA IN OAKLAND SPORTS KCRA THREE SPORTS DIRECTOR DEL RODGERS IS AT THE COLISEUM RIGHT NOW AND JOINS US LIVE AHEAD OF FIRST PITCH. I’LL SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE STILL ARRIVING ALREADY. YEAH, WE’RE IN THE OVERFLOW LOT RIGHT NOW. LISA. YOU CAN SEE FANS ARE STILL TRICKLING OUT OF THE OVERFLOW LOT. THEY DON’T HAVE TO GO OVER A LITTLE SHORT BRIDGE TO GET INTO THE COLISEUM ITSELF, AND IT’S A SAD DAY FOR A LOT OF OAKLAND A’S FANS WHO’S REALLY, REALLY THIS IS THEIR TEAM. YOU KNOW, THE OAKLAND A’S CAME HERE IN 1968. THEY’VE BEEN HERE FOR 57 YEARS. AND DURING THAT TIME THEY’VE WON FOUR WORLD SERIES TITLES, 17 PENNANT FLAGS. SO THE TEAM HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL HERE. BUT NOW THE OWNERS DECIDED TO MOVE THE TEAM TO LAS VEGAS LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE, THINGS CHANGE AND IN THE INTERIM, THEY’LL BE IN WEST SACRAMENTO FOR THREE YEARS AT HEART HEALTH PARK, HOME OF THE CURRENT SACRAMENTO RIVER CATS. SO THAT’S WHERE THE THE OAKLAND A’S HAVE MOVED TO. BUT AS YOU SAID EARLIER, IT’S A SAD DAY FOR OAKLAND A’S FANS AS THEY SAY GOODBYE TO THE COLISEUM AND THEIR OAKLAND ATHLETICS. I THINK ONE OF THE MAIN ISSUES WAS THAT THE STADIUM WAS DECREPIT. IT WAS IT WAS TO A POSITION WHERE IT WAS STARTING TO DECAY AND AND THE OTHER TEAMS IN THE MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL DIDN’T WANT TO PLAY HERE. THE FACILITIES WEREN’T UP TO TO TO PAR FOR THE OTHER TEAMS AND FOR THE OAKLAND A’S CURRENTLY THEMSELVES AND THE FANS SAW IT ALSO THAT THE STANDS WEREN’T REALLY KEPT UP AND THINGS WEREN’T KEPT GOOD. SO THAT KIND OF CONTRIBUTED TO THE OWNERS SAYING, HEY, IF WE IF THE CITY DOESN’T WANT TO GET TOGETHER WITH US AND HELP FOOT THIS BILL, WE’RE GOING TO MOVE. AT THE END OF THE DAY, THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED. THEY JUST COULDN’T COME TO AN AGREEMENT. THE OWNER AND THE CITY OF OAKLAND, THAT’S WHY THIS TEAM IS HAS MOVED ON TO WEST SACRAMENTO IN THE INTERIM. AND THEN ON TO LAS VEGAS. THAT’LL DO IT HERE OUTSIDE OF OAKLAND COLISEUM. AS YOU CAN SEE, THE FANS MAKE THEIR FINAL TREK INTO THE STADIUM FOR THEIR FINAL HOME GAME OF THE SEASON. ONE NOTE THEY DO PLAY THREE MORE GAMES, WHICH IS ON THE ROAD AT SEATTLE. THAT WILL BE LATER, BUT FOR TODAY, THIS IS THEIR FINAL HOME GAME IN OAKLAND. NOW BACK TO YOU, LISA. YEAH, AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS ABOUT THE OAKLAND A’S, BUT I FEEL LIKE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE CHILDHOOD MEMORIES, ESPECIALLY WITH THIS TEAM. MAYBE BECAUSE IT WAS KIND OF THE FAMILY FRIENDLY TEAM AND, YOU KNOW, SO MUCH CHEAPER TO GO THERE COMPARED TO THE GIANTS. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE IT’S SO BELOVED TO SO MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT JUST IN OAKLAND, BUT AROUND THE ENTIRE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA REGION. THAT’S RIGHT. BUT IT’S INTERESTING YOU SAY THAT BECAUSE I COVER A LOT OF PROFESSIONAL SPORTING EVENTS. AND THIS ONE, WHENEVER WE COME DOWN TO OAKLAND TO AN OAKLAND A’S GAME, YOU SEE MORE YOUNGER PEOPLE COME IN, LIKE YOU SAID, MORE FAMILY FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE HERE AT AN OAKLAND ATHLETICS GAME. NOT SAYING THAT THERE ISN’T AT THE OTHER GAMES, BUT I DO NOTICE I SEE MORE YOUNGER KIDS COME IN WITH THEIR FAMILY TO AN OAKLAND A’S BASEBALL GAME. I MEAN, IT WAS JUST THE, YOU KNOW, IT WAS JUST A LOT CHEAPER. AND IT WAS THE FIRST PROFESSIONAL SPORTING EVENT I EVER WENT TO. EVEN BEFORE THE KINGS CAME TO TOWN. YOU KNOW, THAT’S WHERE I GOT TO GO. BUT I REMEMBER JUST THERE WERE JUST TONS OF KIDS THERE. I THINK IT WAS JUST, YOU KNOW, THEY MUST HAVE HAD GOOD FAMILY DEALS OR SOMETHING. BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE JUST SO HEARTBROKEN. GOOD TO SEE THEM LETTING PEOPLE IN. SO EARLY TODAY AHEAD OF THE GAME TONIGHT. DEL, THANKS FOR YOUR COVERAGE. THANKS FOR BEING THERE FOR US AN
