Cars stop traffic, speed in circles on San Francisco bridge

Officials are investigating a series of reckless driving in California, including an incident on the San Francisco Bay Bridge involving three cars speeding in circles around each other.

The California Highway Patrol says one of three drivers was arrested Sunday on charges of reckless driving and speeding after he and several other stopped bridge traffic.

In a video posted by CHP, three cars are filmed speeding in circles with tires screeching.

Other drivers who helped stop traffic were fined, and two cars were impounded, including that of the driver taken into custody.

A similar incident occurred late Sunday evening in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Times reports that as many as 40 cars blocked traffic to spin in circles in the middle of intersections in Compton and Willowbrook.
