I use the bridge daily. People just need to use extra caution when crossing the bridge ESPECIALLY when 2-way traffic is in effect.

I don't believe this is the first time this has happened.

I feel someone should take a look into this because I feel your information in this story is inaccurate. thank you.

While this is the first time that a vehicle has gone over the side of the Bridge and will be a sad footnote in the Bridge's history, I hardly think that "Historic Wreck" is an appropriate headline to describe the tragic event here. Let's show a little class.
