An armed carjacking investigation caused Eastbound lanes of 80 to shutdown nearly all lanes. Traffic was at a standstill due to the lanes being shut down for 2 hours. Police say a white Chevy pickup truck was stolen at gunpoint, and driven towards the east bay. Highway patrol has not been able to locate the suspect.
The incident occurred after a fender bender on the Bay Bridge. Officials say two vehicles were involved when the two drivers got into a heated altercation. Then, the suspect brandished his weapon and stole the truck from a passing motorist.
