Cable Snap On Bay Bridge Causes ClosureThe San-Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge has been closed down, following a cable snap, that took place near the newly installed S-Curve.

The cable, along with two metal rods fell on the westbound lanes of the bridge, smashing a Ryder vehicle’s windshield and shaking up the vehicle’s driver. Whether the driver was injured or not, is not clear. There have been reports of at least three vehicle accidents being caused by the debris. However, any injuries, serious or otherwise, have not been reported yet. The snap did cause a long commuter jam though. Heavy winds, apparently, were the cause of the snap.
