 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Bay Area commuters skirted the wreckage of a collapsed section of freeway Monday as crews began hauling away the charred debris that had been a vital link between San Francisco and its eastern suburbs.
City officials called for a review of the rules that allowed a driver with a criminal background to haul the 8,000 gallons of gasoline that burned and weakened the overpass early Sunday, causing it to crumple onto another below.
The snarled highways envisioned for the region didn't materialize Monday, as many commuters seized on free public transportation, avoided rush hour or just stayed home.
