ATV and dirt bike riders took over the Bay Bridge early Sunday evening, according to California Highway Patrol Public Information Officer Mark Andrews. The incident caused a traffic jam and lane closures on the bridge.

As of Monday afternoon, a total of nine people have been arrested by the Oakland Police Department.

Approximately 50 to 60 suspects were riding either an ATV or a dirt bike, Andrews said. They first made their way into San Francisco from Oakland. Once they arrived in San Francisco, Andrews said they spent around 45 minutes to an hour there.

The number of ATV and dirt bike riders was upgraded to 70, according to OPD, the agency that made the arrests.

The riders then made their way back onto the eastbound lanes of the bridge, according to CHP. As they were heading towards Oakland, all eastbound traffic was stopped. The group ditched their bikes.

Viewer video of the ATV and dirt bike riders taking over the Bay Bridge can be seen in the media player above.

Funny that you should send me a ping. I just got home from buying a 2007 Suzuki Burgman 650. Picking it up tomorrow.

Pathetic.

In other words, they weren't even ticketed.

I was actually referring to the fact that it is in California, but you are right about me simply reading the excerpt.

Just to be sure, that was not attacking you directly, that was just an observation that I noticed it didn’t include any of that in the excerpt, and I thought that it should have.

I do that all the time around here… Especially in places where I don’t want to drill down on an article because I don’t like the website… Most of us understand that too…:)
