Sideshows erupted across the Bay Area early Sunday morning, disrupting traffic and drawing heavy police responses. Multiple sideshows took place in Richmond, Oakland, Daly City, and San Francisco, including one on the Bay Bridge that halted traffic for 15 minutes.
It was yet another weekend full of screeching rubber and tire smoke across the Bay Area . Sideshows took over streets in Richmond, Oakland, Daly City and San Francisco early Sunday morning. It all started in Richmond. Video from that scene shows a car with a smashed rear end spinning at high speeds as people hang out the side window. As the car spins, spectators can be seen hopping out of the vehicle’s path, often just in the nick of time.
Next up came a sideshow at the intersection of Maritime and Grand Avenue in Oakland. Video shows the major streets blocked by sideshow and spectators, while police respond on the ground and in the air. By 1:45 am on Sunday, a sideshow crowd made its way to Daly City, near the intersection of Mission and Bepler streets.
Less than one hour later, traffic on the Bay Bridge came to a halt as a sideshow formed on the bridge.The bridge was shut down for about fifteen minutes. Video shows dozens of drivers waiting in cars for the bridge to clear.Some passersby even hopped out of their vehicles to take a look. The video also shows several police officers making their way around the bridge, taking videos and photos of vehicles that appeared to be involved.
