Son said he was about 2 cars behind a serious crash on the Solomons bridge around 1 or 2 this a.m....car crossed center, hit side, went up and hit the fencing and came back down and was in the SB lane, (was originally traveling southbound) - facing north bound when all was said and done. Said they came upon it..but only second car behind traveling SB...and people kept looking over the fencing. Said all the windows were busted...didn't know if they were drunk, if someone was thrown out into river. Any one..Don't see it anywhere.

My wife remarked on that as we went to SMIBville this afternoon. She called it.

Wow they are so lucky that the fence held up and kept them from going over.

:yeahthat:

Maybe some day someone can explain to me the logic behind putting the fencing at the lower ends of the bridge and not up at the top where it is a longer drop to the water? Just seems counter-intuitive to me.

No fence: water below... No $$$$$
Fence: people, houses, communities, roads, cars, cats, dogs.....$$$$

Fence isn't to protect the people in the cars. Fence is to protect the innocent people below the bridge from having a car in their house!

No info on the crash, the driver- was this alcohol suspected. Did the person get thrown from the car...son said people kept looking over the rail...where the fence was bent and damaged...like they were looking for someone or thing.

It is to keep people from throwing junk over the side of the bridge and hitting houses or people down below...not to keep the cars from going over.

Danzig, sir great pictures as always, just curious do you ever sleep. You seem to be everywhere where the action is at once. As always great job...

He didn't take those pictures

As far as the accident, no one was ejected or thrown over.

This is a good thing. if seat belted I would assume that there was not life threatening injuries. I hope.

Yea, those were not my photos, I heard the call go out, and knew Brian was there. I sleep a few hours a day, I just got back in from 5 calls, All were BS. I go on tons of call that don't make my photo site or my news site.

I am not sure but I think the car was empty when police got there.

That would mean either stolen or drunk drivers if you ask me.
I'm no expert on these matters however, so don't let either one start a rumor

that's was one of the things I was wondering, as my son said who couldn't see very well, but didn't see anyone...
