It all started after a two-vehicle crash on southbound Interstate 680 near Bollinger Canyon Road about 5:20 p.m.
SAN RAMON — Chaos broke out on an East Bay freeway Saturday night after a two-car crash that ended with one car in the bushes and that driver barricading himself in the vehicle and threatening that he had a gun, authorities said.
According to the CHP, nobody in the crash was injured. But one vehicle wound up going off the freeway off-ramp and into some bushes, and that driver “became extremely agitated,” according to the agency. Two lanes were opened about 50 minutes later, and all four lanes were opened by 7 p.m., according to the CHP.
In the interim, San Ramon police also came to the scene with an armored rescue vehicle. San Ramon Police Chief Denton Carlson on X said that when officers in the vehicle began making announcements, “the subject exited his vehicle and was placed into custody by CHP personnel.”
