i was there the full car was on fire in the middle lane on the lower section of the bridge the person driving crashed into the person in front of him . People were conflicted on what to do . I drove fast past the fire. You could feel the heat as you drive past.

@NewYorkUser159741014 It’s too dangerous, they cannot risk having any extra weight near the fire incase it weakens the bridges metal
