Rain turns roadways deadly in Emeryville, Sausalito
A storm that moved through the region early Sunday caused havoc on Bay Area highways as multiple crashes and fatalities were reported.
Showers started moving into San Francisco and the northern parts of Alameda and Contra Costa counties Sunday morning, said Drew Peterson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
“It’s decent rainfall rates,” Peterson said. “People are definitely going to have their outdoor plans (Sunday) morning impacted.”
