A teenage boy died after falling from an elevated on-ramp off Interstate Highway 80 at the foot of the Carquinez Bridge during a sideshow early Saturday morning, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Just before 3:30 a.m. Saturday, CHP officers responded to a report of a sideshow involving over 100 vehicles, which were blocking the intersection of Pomona and Merchant streets near I-80 in Crockett.
CHP officers and deputies with the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office arrived on scene to attempt to address the sideshow, a spokesperson for CHP said.
Shortly after arriving, the CHP received reports of a spectator who climbed over the concrete safety barrier at an elevated portion of the Pomona Street on-ramp to westbound I-80 and fell approximately 75 feet to the ground below.
