A man has been charged with driving under the influence, causing a multi-vehicle crash with injuries. Bryon Livingston, 33, faced arraignment on Thursday, where he issued a not guilty plea to all charges, including DUI with a blood alcohol level over the legal limit and operating a vehicle with a suspended license, as reported by the San Francisco District Attorney's Office.
The court, despite concerns from the District Attorney's Office about Livingston posing a threat to public safety, released him on the condition that he would be monitored electronically and barred from consuming alcohol or non-prescribed drugs; moreover, he should not drive without possessing a valid California Driver’s License and insurance. Livingston’s trial is set to move forward with a prehearing conference scheduled for January 13, 2026.
Detailing the incident, court documents show that around 2:07 AM on Sunday, Livingston allegedly accelerated towards a stopped vehicle on the Bay Bridge and made a brash attempt to overtake the vehicle, resulting in a collision that injured three people. Bridge surveillance video appears to corroborate the sequence of events leading up to the crash.
The investigation into the crash led by the San Francisco District Attorney’s Felony DUI Vertical Prosecution Unit continues. Authorities are urging anyone with pertinent information to step forward and contact the California Highway Patrol Tip Line at 1-800-835-5247.
