SIDESHOW CLOSES LOCAL FREEWAYS!

California Highway Patrol officers were outnumbered early this morning trying to contain a group of over 100 sideshow vehicles.  Around 2:55 a.m. the sideshow had closed eastbound hwy 84 east of Paseo Padre.   CHP officers along with Fremont Police officers kept an eye on them as traffic came to a halt and fireworks erupted.  The group then moved on to northbound 880 at Alvarado Niles where an active sideshow took place and again blocking all freeway traffic.  CHP officers from Castro Valley and San Jose were called in to assist.  As the group moved north on 880, Hayward Police officers were asked to help out.  By  3:20 a.m. officers had escorted the group across 98th Avenue into Oakland where officers from Oakland would take over monitoring the group.  Late last night CHP dispatchers broadcasted information to area officers that reckless driving vehicles were leaving Sacramento and Stockton for the Bay Area.

I have posted an audio clip of the incident on SoundCloud.com.  Search "ScannerFremont" and the clip should be at the bottom.  The clip starts shortly after 3 a.m.
