Photo by Miriam Quiñones
A truck was pictured reportedly stuck and somewhat damaged under the subway elevated structure at W 238th Street and Broadway in the Kingsbridge section of The Bronx on Tuesday, Feb. 15.
Norwood News photographer, Miriam Quiñones, took a photo of the truck from her car at around 2.45 p.m. on Tuesday. She said traffic had been moving very slowly as she approached the area, and it later became obvious why.
“It was just frustrating to be in bumper-to-bumper traffic,” she said. “I was able to get a quick picture when I was told to move to my right which was the Wendy’s parking [lot] and drive thru. All cars had to go that way.”
She said traffic had not been moving on Broadway and was therefore being directed to cross Wendy’s parking lot to get to the other side of street.
Norwood News reached out to the NYPD, the FDNY and NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) for more information but the departments did not have any further details at the time. We will update this story upon receipt of any additional information we receive.
