Man something like that happend here! Construction was going on to revamp this bridge that goes over a busy highway. The bridge was completly taken out, and so there were a whole bunch of barricades, cones and signs saying "WARNING: BRIDGE OUT".

Well, some stupid kids decided hey it would be funny to move all the barricades off to one side. Later that night a cop got a call, and I guess the message didn't get to him that the bridge is totally gone. I guess cops can go through construction zones. They showed the footage from his car cam of him speeding through the contruction zone and careening off the bridge onto the highway beneath. he had no warning.I never heard if he was okay or not.

Since then they put down more barricades, and sand traps to slow down cars as a last resort.

Stupid!!
