An illegal sideshow stopped traffic on the Bay Bridge early Sunday morning.

The incident happened at around 2 a.m. on the eastern span of the Bay Bridge.

Video of the incident showed hundreds of spectators watching cars doing donuts on the bridge and people setting off fireworks.

The sideshow caused a traffic backup as all lanes were stopped on the freeway for about 30 minutes. The crowds later dispersed.

As of Sunday morning, there was no word on any arrests.
