One person was killed and another was injured following a four-vehicle crash on the Bay Bridge in San Francisco on Friday night, May 2, 2025.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the collision occurred around 11:15 p.m. on the westbound lanes of Interstate 80 near the incline portion of the bridge.
Authorities said a white Genesis sedan was speeding and failed to notice slower traffic ahead. The Genesis crashed into the rear of a silver Toyota Corolla, which then struck a second silver Toyota, leading to a fourth impact involving a gray Toyota vehicle.
An ambulance nearby stopped to assist the victims. Officials reported that the driver of the silver Toyota Corolla sustained severe injuries and was transported to a hospital, where he later died. His identity has not yet been released.
Another person was transported to the hospital, but their identity and condition have not been confirmed.
The driver of the Genesis remained at the scene. Authorities stated that drugs and alcohol are suspected factors in the crash.
The exact number of individuals involved from the other vehicles remains unclear. Westbound lanes were reopened just before 1:00 a.m. Saturday, as the investigation continues.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
