Luna begins by apologizing for "keeping Trey waiting". She then says that "there was a horrible traffic jam on highway 101 this morning" which is her explanation for why she was late. A traffic jam occurs when there are many cars on the road or an accident has occurred, and the flow of traffic is poor.
Luna has doubts about Trey's ability to continue the interview because of his wound, however she never cancels the interview with him. Her last sentence is "Let's go sit down in my office" indicates that the interview will continue.
Trey says to Luna that he "was a few minutes late" to the interview. He responds to Luna's apology by telling her that he was also late this morning.
Trey never speaks of trying to take a shortcut. He does say that he traveled through a "rather rough neighborhood" on his way to the interview, but this does not mean that he tried to take a shortcut, but that he went through a "dangerous" neighborhood.
Trey speaks of the bullet passing "through the fleshy part of my arm" which expresses that Trey was "shot" (by someone with a gun). Trey also states that his lateness is due to this accident, so we know that he was shot while on his way to the interview.

Ray tells Moira and Brent that "unless you own a helicopter or small plane you should probably stay home". He means that traffic is so bad today that the only way to get around is by plane or helicopter. Ray isn't saying that helicopters and planes are having a hard time because of the traffic.
A "traffic jam" describes blocked or congested "traffic": cars and trucks trying to move from one location to another. Traffic jams often occur on the highway due to accidents or bad weather. When Ray says that the traffic is "backed up all the way to the Bay Bridge" he means that the vehicles are moving so slowly that there is a line of vehicles starting at the Bay Bridge, or that there is a traffic jam at the Bay Bridge.
Ray tells Moira that the traffic is so bad "you should probably just stay home." He is advising people to stay at home rather than to travel on the freeways because of the poor traffic circulation.
Ray says that "Northbound traffic on Highway one is not much better" (than the traffic on the Bay Bridge). Ray doesn't advise people to travel on Highway 1 because the traffic is as bad there as it is everywhere else.

This is a true statement. Ray reports that on Highway One, there is "a multiple vehicle collision blocking traffic in both directions". A "collision" refers to the accident itself, and Ray's statement that traffic is "blocked" tells us that circulation on the freeway is being slowed or impeded. The term "traffic jam" describes this slow moving traffic.
This statement is false. Ray says that "several injuries have been reported along with at least one fatality, maybe more". Although he does not know the final figures, he knows that some people have been hurt and that there has been at least one death.
This statement is false. Ray Upton says that the traffic is blocked as "firefighters are trying desperately to reach the scene of the accident". The verb "to reach" describes the arrival at a spot or destination in this context. The firefighters have not yet arrived at the scene of the accident because of the cars blocking them. Firefighters, along with the police and paramedics are part of a group called "Emergency Services".
This statement is false. Ray Upton says that "at least one fatality" has been reported. A "fatality" is an injury resulting in death. "At least" one person was killed in this accident and maybe more. The term "fatality" is often used in the context of military conflicts, however we often hear the term on the news, nearly every night unfortunately.
