— CHP San Francisco March 21, 2023 No injuries were reported in the wake of the crash, but the CHP reported all trucks were being diverted from the bridge and were asked not to attempt to use the crossing to get into San Francisco from Oakland because the overturned big rig does not allow enough clearance for other trucks to get by.
Authorities left two lanes open to let traffic through follow the crash, but the CHP announced about 5:40 p.m. that all eastbound lanes of the Bay Bridge would be temporarily closed when emergency vehicles arrived at the scene to upright the fallen truck. The big rig was placed back onto its wheels by about 8:13 p.m., and the CHP announced about 8:35 p.m. that all eastbound lanes of the bridge were reopened to traffic.
