Accident Closes Nickel Bridge
Just heard (4:07) from a neighbor that Nickel Bridge is closed both ways due to an accident. Will post more details once I have them.
Update 5:38 – Didn’t see anything on any of the traffic sites or news. So I assume all is back to normal.
I was actually running on the bridge during that time and was told by the police to turn around and run the other direction. “Their was a robbery and the dog is headed this way,” said the officer. I turned around and saw 3-4 cop cars positioned on Westover Hills Blvd waiting for the robber to cross the bridge. I didn’t stick around to see how it transpired, but perhaps someone else who reads this website knows something?
Thanks Erin. I bet these were the robbers they were talking about: http://www2.timesdispatch.com/rtd/news/local/crime/article/BANK29_20090928-220803/296113/
“At one point, officers spotted the Suburban and pursued it down South Meadow Street, over the Downtown Expressway and into the Randolph neighborhood. The Suburban tried to make a left turn at Appomattox Street, but Lepley said it veered into the front porch of a home in the 1200 block of South Meadow Street.”
