A freeway standoff involving SWAT teams and multiple damaged vehicles caused major traffic delays on Interstate 580 in San Leandro before authorities took a driver into custody.
All lanes on eastbound I-580 reopened just after 10 p.m. Saturday after a shooting left lanes blocked for hours on the freeway.
CHP says that the motorcyclist tried to get between a sedan and a semi-truck, but was hit and run over by the truck, shutting down multiple lanes of westbound I-580.
Two men have been charged in connection with a deadly crash on I-580 near the Bay Bridge that killed a Lafayette man. The men, fleeing from a burglary, was driving the wrong-way when they slammed head-on into the victim's car.
A report lists that 20% of police chases resulted in a crash. Of that 20%, 63% were property damage only, 25% were injury crashes, and close to 2% were fatal crashes -- or 52 deaths.
David Lee Weiner, 57, has been identified as the driver killed near the Bay Bridge Tuesday when a pickup truck fleeing from a store break-in hit his car head-on.
