EXCLUSIVE: “My heart was racing.” The filming of an alleged music video halted Bay Bridge traffic on Saturday night

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — A dramatic and infuriating experience for drivers on the Bay Bridge this weekend when an alleged music video shoot brought traffic to a halt.

The man who shot this video was on his way to San Francisco with friends around 6:40 p.m. Saturday night when they suddenly stopped. The man, who requested anonymity, told ABC7 News presenter Dion Lim the situation was frightening, with several people shouting and it seemed like a sideshow at first.

“At first, my heart was pounding. I know how easily things can get out of hand, and I immediately thought of the worst-case scenario. I was happy that I was able to walk away safely with an interesting story,” said he declared.

Upon closer inspection, the witness saw that it was not a sideshow, but rather a cameraman recording a group of people dancing.

The witness says the incident only lasted about five minutes. CHP confirmed to ABC7 News that they have no report on the incident, however, they are trying to find out more about what happened.
