Toll Taker Sees Girl Kneeling, Screaming, Struggling in SUV on Bay Bridge: CHP

The California Highway Patrol is trying to find a couple in a Chevrolet Blazer that drove across the Bay Bridge over the weekend after a toll taker saw a young girl on her knees, screaming and struggling inside.

The CHP said the tan or grey 1995-97 SUV had no license plates as it was traveling westbound on Interstate 80 approaching the bridge toll plaza on Saturday at 8:37 p.m.

The driver was described as an African-American man in his 60s with gray hair and a full beard. His passenger was an African-American woman about 40 or 50 years old wearing a multi-colored scarf. The girl is described as African American and between the ages of 9 and 12 with short hair.

The SUV did have a temporary operating permit in the lower right area of the rear window, after market fog lights in the front, and two bumper stickers on the rear body of the vehicle.

Officers say they want to talk to the adults in the Blazer and make sure the girl is OK. It is not clear if any crime occurred.

Witnesses are asked to call the CHP at 415-557-1094. After hours, please call 1(800) TELL-CHP.
