News helicopters have been flying over Minneapolis again. This time it's because an SUV (Cadillac Escalade) got stuck on a pedestrian bridge that runs parallel to the Mississippi River, between the Washington and Franklin Avenue bridges, in Minneapolis. Let me repeat, yes a pedestrian bridge. The driver fled the scene. To get to the bridge the drive had to drive off road to get to the bridge.
News reports said, "The bridge is only about two-arm lengths wide and is not a straight path. The SUV and bridge were seriously damaged as the driver forced the large automobile several hundred feet down the path. The vehicle is registered to a woman living in Hudson. She told police that she lent the vehicle to a friend a few days ago. She said she is going to try to convince the man to turn himself into police"
The SUV is reported to be a month old and worth $70,000. Police are not sure how they will remove the SUV but it won't be easy. They may need to use a barge to remove the vehicle. If that happens the cost to the driver could top $100,000. Yikes. The driver is being sought for suspicion of a DUI. (no really - can we all say GOSH IDIOT!)
