Police Confiscate 70 Dirt Bikes, ATVs After Bay Bridge Takeover, Two Arrested
A group of over 70 riders on dirt bikes and ATVs caused significant traffic disruptions on the Bay Bridge on Sunday evening. The group traveled from Oakland to San Francisco, staying for about 45 minutes to an hour before heading back. The Oakland Police Department, with assistance from the San Francisco Police Department and the California Highway Patrol, intercepted the group on the eastern side of the bridge. The riders fled, abandoning their vehicles, and at least two individuals were arrested. One person jumped into the Bay to evade capture and had to be rescued. The police impounded the abandoned vehicles, and traffic on the bridge was affected until all lanes were cleared by 8 PM.
