In the early hours of Sunday, sideshows were hosted on the Bay Bridge and in Vallejo.
The Bay Area once again saw the chaos that can unfold when drivers go wild and spectators cheer them on, with two major sideshows on Sunday.
Officers estimated the gathering as having more than 150 vehicles and noted that people in the crowd were setting off illegal fireworks, which appeared to shoot high into the air on videos posted to social media. The sideshow attendees began to disperse around 2:21 a.m., and CHP made several enforcement stops as vehicles exited the east side of the bridge, officials said. One attempted stop resulted in a vehicle pursuit that ended with officers deploying spike strips to forcibly stop the car. The vehicle’s occupants were taken into custody.
