Media summary: Around 5:20 p.m, near the east side of Yerba Buena Island, several drivers of off-road motorcycles were trying to evade patrol cars. One driver jumped off his bike to avoid capture and climbed onto the back of another motorcycle. A few moments later, the driver of that motorcycle tried to leap his vehicle from one direction of the bridge to the other -- where the two directions of the bridge overlap near the tunnel -- and avoid capture. But the bike didn't make it over, and the cyclist who had become a passenger fell off and was struck by a pickup truck and killed.
