(KRON) -- California Highway Patrol confirmed it was involved in a chase Friday across the Bay Bridge in both directions. The suspect was taken into custody just after 9 p.m. in Richmond. CHP said the pursuit began at about 3:20 p.m. when a Costa Costa County Sheriff's deputy attempted to stop a white Infinity traveling westbound on State Route 4. Police pursued as the car went onto Interstate 80, CHP said. The suspect then went across the Bay Bridge to San Francisco.
