A crash on San Francisco-Oakland’s Bay Bridge closed part of the span Sunday, causing traffic delays. An overturned car was seen at the scene.
An accident on the Bay Bridge, which connects San Francisco and Oakland, in California via Interstate 80, on Sunday afternoon affected traffic. Part of the bridge has been closed as emergency crews responded to the crash, affecting traffic in some lanes.
As of now, officials have not confirmed the details of the accident or if anyone was injured. A driver, however, shared a video on X which showed a car overturned right in the middle of Bay Bridge, while two more had halted at the spot likely to check the situation.
Here's a video shared by Carlos Colindres on X.
According to SFGate, the crash occurred on the westbound I-80 just off Treasure Island Road. An alert for severe traffic was issued by the California Highway Patrol before 9:15am PDT, the report confirmed.
“Motorists are advised to expect delays and to use alternate routes to avoid the area,” the alert read. “There is no estimated time to reopen the roadway.”
However, by 11:30am PDT, the area was cleared off and traffic on all lanes on the Bay Bridge was moving smoothly.
The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge carries about 260,000 vehicles a day across its two decks, according to official data.
