Hit-And-Run Crash Ties Up Eastbound Bay Bridge Traffic
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) -- A hit-and-run on the Treasure Island off-ramp from the lower deck of the Bay Bridge Tuesday morning created a traffic jam on the way out of San Francisco, according to the California Highway Patrol.
A driver traveling east on Interstate Highway 80 around 7:20 a.m. got hit from behind, lost control, and flew into impact attenuation barrels, CHP spokesman Officer Bert Diaz.
Three lanes on the bridge were initially closed along with the off-ramp, and the left two lanes remained closed until about 10:10 a.m.
The driver who crashed into the barrels suffered minor injuries but did not require transport to a hospital, Diaz said.
He said there is no information immediately available about the hit-and-run suspect.
