12 AM: Police say they’re temporarily blocking the westbound bridge. Meantime, arriving SFD units describe this as a car-on-side crash.

12:03 AM: Firefighters say no one is trapped, so they’re downsizing the response.

    I was there after the car and myself along with several other good samaritans helped get the person out of the car, she was not injured, definitely in shock, and got transported to the hospital.
