A collision on the eastbound lanes of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge just before 8:30 a.m. involved 7-8 vehicles, according to the California Highway Patrol.

All lanes were blocked as of 8:38 a.m., according to the CHP, but by 8:43 a.m. the No. 3 and 4 lanes had reopened. By 10:06 a.m. all lanes had been reopened.

AC Transit tweeted that Transbay riders would be experiencing delays due to the collision, which occurred near the Treasure Island offramp on the lower deck.

Officer Andrews explained two of the three vehicles wound up sitting horizontally across multiple lanes, blocking them.

The cars were completely disabled and had to be towed out, which is what kept the lanes blocked for so long.

The CHP says the crash is still under investigation, but it appears a driver making an unsafe turning movement may have led to the crash, or at least was a factor.
