SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) A passenger of a dirtbike died at the scene of a multiple-vehicle collision on the Bay Bridge on Sunday, the California Highway Patrol said.
The accident happened just before 6 p.m. and two lanes of eastbound I-80 were shut down for almost hours Sunday evening, causing major delays.
CHP says the victim who died was a 20-year-old man who was a passenger on a dirt bike that was involved in sideshow activity on the bridge. The 20-year-old already had an injury that he got from an earlier accident.
Officials say after the first accident, he abandoned his first dirt bike and was picked up by another dirt bike. In an attempt to avoid arrest for driving the wrong direction on the bridge, they drove over a concrete barrier and the passenger was ejected onto the freeway and hit and killed by a pickup truck.
FRESNO, Calif. A viewer wanted to know: if someone is tailgating me, is it legal for me to pump on my brakes to get them to back off? Oftentimes, what happens is the driver who is tailgating the person in front of them is doing so knowingly in hopes that that person gets out of their way because they want to proceed at a faster pace than which the vehicle is traveling, said Sgt. Brian Pennings with the California Highway Patrol. To intentionally apply your brakes because somebody is tailgating you could be a violation of 22109, which is known as brake checking. Sometimes this will lead to an aggressive confrontation known as road rage.
