A piece of steel and cable fell from the San Francisco Bay Bridge onto the roadway Tuesday, causing an apparently minor two-car accident but backing up traffic for miles, the California Highway Patrol said. The Bay Bridge is one of the main arteries into and out of San Francisco.
No one was injured in the accident, which happened at 5:32 p.m. PT (8:32 p.m. ET), but the driver of one car "appeared to be shaken up," CHP Officer Peter Van Eckhardt said.
"It appears to be an area where temporary repair was done over Labor Day weekend," Van Eckhardt said. "It was unexpected to say the very least."
