6:31 am
see where the crime scene began when i try to slow down and park they said i could not stay i had to keep moving. let me show you some video i did take this was about 3:30 a.m. there were only three lanes closed and you can see the said basically the car was beating on the bridge. chp try to catch up but when they caught up they had already crashed into the side wall. when chp rolled up on the car that is went day had begun fire. they were able to apprehend the driver. two people are in custody. they had to transport them because they suffered injuries due to the accident and not because of the gunfire. what i was told by the spokesperson from the
6:32 am
chp department they said this point the investigation is really trying to figure out who fired at who. they want to know how that even began. it is still unclear how all that came down to that is what they're trying to investigate. i also spoke with them about 20 minutes ago. one man said at this point they were not sure if they could make the 1030. so, you know it is one of those situations where they're not even sure if they will make the 1030 mark. so if you want to avoid this, you have to take another bridge. now i want to show you this. i'm on the island, this is the entrance to the eastern span of the bay bridge. it took the cat

6:35 am
that the san francisco police department will become part of and in fact possibly the lead of the investigation. originally this was the chp incident there in charge of the investigation and on the scene. now we are understanding that the san francisco police department in becoming involved. so once the san francisco police department starts their investigation and will be up to them to determine to reopen the lane. it is still quite remarkable that the impact has not yet reached on to the sky way out of san francisco. here is a live look at 101 north bound coming up past the freeway. this is where you have seventh street and fourth street is now beginning to back up past the san francisco lane towards the fourth street.
