Straight out of Escape From LA - 100s of Bikers take Over San Fran's Bay Bridge Going the Wrong Way, 1 Dead

OAKLAND — A 20-year-old man was killed in a crash on the Bay Bridge after a crowd of motorcyclists drove the wrong way on the span in an apparent attempt to elude officers, the California Highway Patrol said.

Shortly after 5:20 p.m., CHP officers issued an alert closing multiple lanes of eastbound I-80 at the bridge’s center anchorage after the collision. Officers issued an additional alert around 6:20 p.m., closing two lanes within the Yerba Buena tunnel.

The CHP’s San Francisco office said the man who was killed had been thrown from a motorcycle and then struck by a pickup truck. He was pronounced dead at the scene. His identity and city of residence were not released.

The accident followed reports Sunday afternoon that several hundred motorcyclists were “running amok” in San Francisco, CHP SF Public Information Officer Mark Andrews told Bay City News Service.
