Debris Fall in NYC Tunnel Poses Serious Safety Concerns for Commuters
A commuter in New York City narrowly escaped a potentially fatal accident when a large piece of debris fell from the ceiling of a tunnel on the Cross Bronx Expressway. The incident occurred under the Bridge Apartments, a complex of four 32-story buildings in Washington Heights. John Toledo, the driver involved, was commuting home when the debris struck his car, totaling it. Toledo, who works for the city Department of Environmental Protection, shared footage of the incident online, expressing his relief at surviving and his concern for future commuters.
