Has anyone ever noticed whenever there is an accident on the belt Pkwy, one of the vehicles always has a jersey plate...just saying the truth...

jlow1029Dec 24 at 4:04 PM

I wonder why this commenters are so quick to assume? Who cares if it’s Staten Island driver or Brooklyn driver either way don’t forget that Jersey and Philadelphia drivers aren’t the greatest! But besides, I wish for all involved to be ok and nothing serious to worry about , specially those in the school bus . Happy Christmas 🎄 to all and be safe …
