According to the California Highway Patrol, drivers were treated to a bizarre scene when a naked motorist exited her car and began firing a gun into the air Tuesday at a central Bay Area span.

The CHP said there was a reckless driver report on eastbound Interstate 80 around 4:40 p.m. The caller further told 911 dispatchers the driver appeared to have a gun.

CBS News reports:

The CHP said the driver stopped on the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge, known locally as the Bay Bridge and part of I-80, got out of her car while wielding a knife and yelled at other drivers. She got back into the car but soon stopped near the toll plaza.

This time, she allegedly exited the car naked and carrying a gun and began firing shots into the air and at other vehicles, according to the CHP.

Law enforcement arrested her. She was taken from the bridge in an ambulance.

Several lanes of traffic were forced to shut down so officers could look for shell casings temporarily, and significant delays ensued. If only the other drivers on this crowded bridge had guns, too.

Her name was not released, and we hope she gets the help she needs.
