ABC7 NEWS TO GO News

An apparently suicidal man, who brought traffic to a standstill on the Bay Bridge, has been taken into custody. The man claimed to have explosives in his SUV.

The incident began about 7 a.m. when the man stopped his vehicle on the upper deck of the bridge, west of the center anchorage. He stood on the outside of the bridge's rail and threatened to jump.

He had a young daughter in the car who he released to police.

The San Francisco bomb squad, SWAT team and the CHP were on the scene. The Coast Guard had closed the waterway under the bridge.

Three westbound lanes of the Bay Bridge have reopened. Eastbound lanes on the lower desk remained open during the incident.
