(06-09) 12:34 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- A man driving a Corvette at speeds of up to 120 mph on the Bay Bridge was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving today after he rear-ended a car, severely injuring the driver, authorities said.
Hassan Clarkson, 24, of Oakland was arrested on suspicion of felony DUI after the 5:24 a.m. collision east of the Fremont Street exit, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Clarkson was westbound on the Bay Bridge in a red 1999 Chevrolet Corvette that topped 100 mph, said CHP Officer Shawn Chase. He lost control, hitting a concrete wall, a 1993 Geo Metro traveling 50 mph and a 2000 Ford Expedition, Chase said.
The driver of the Geo, Timothy Ostling, 44, of Alameda, suffered brain hemorrhaging and a cut on his forehead. Paramedics took him to San Francisco General Hospital, authorities said. Clarkson complained of pain to his chest, arm and abdomen; he also was hospitalized, Chase said.
A passenger in the Corvette, Isaac Singleton, 28, of San Francisco, wasn't hurt, nor was Clinnis Dently, 43, of Hayward, the driver of the Ford, the CHP said.
The crash shut down all westbound lanes on the bridge as emergency workers extricated Ostling from his car, Chase said.
