Bank robbery in San Jose

http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercu...s/14337087.htm
robbers got caught on I-680 and Berryessa Exit
they threw money on the highway causing major gridlock.

who else was affected by this mess?
I work like 4 miles from my house and it took me well over an hour just to get home.

LOL, I saw like 20 cop cars flying down 680S with sirens on when I was driving back to the East Bay from San Jose... I thought they were going after a blue Ford Explorer pickup...

Same here, I live right by SJS and work off of montague. I take lundy to Berryessa and it took me almost an hour and a half to get to berryessa, then was ok from there.

I was thinking "damn is there that many people sneaking away from work early at the same time as me?"
