People are driving crazily today!
There were two bad accidents today – one on the Belt Parkway and the other on the Verrazzano Bridge. Prayers for the people involved.
1) Around 4:30 pm, there was a five car accident on Belt Parkway yesterday east bound.
(Around noon, there was an accident futher out on the Belt – see video)
2) Right before 9:00 pm, there was a serious accident on the Verrazzano Bridge with an overturned vehicle. The two lanes on the lower level of the bridge were closed. BRAVO volunteer ambulance from our area responded and shared this photo and information:

“Bravo’s crew was on hand tonight to respond to a multi-vehicle Motor Vehicle Collision involving an overturned vehicle on the lower level of the Verrazzano Bridge. BRAVO and ambulances from NYU Langone-Brooklyn and Staten Island University Hospital transported 5 patients to area hospitals. While tending to these patients, a separate accident occurred on the opposite side of the roadway resulting in three addition patients.”
ANOTHER ACCIDENT:
Ridgites shared that a man was hit near the entrance of the bridge. He was laying in the crosswalk. An ambulance came fast and the man talked to the medics as they placed him in an ambulance.

3) Mama’s Greek Restaurant

November 26, 2024Bunch of Pigeons…Not What It Looked Like

Snap.
I thought I had captured the most beautiful sun on the 68th Street Pier. When I got home and looked at the picture, it looked nothing like the pigeon mess above.
The pier had a glorious sun like Beautiful Bay Ridge captured (here). Follow their instagram because I only have ugly pigeons for you today. (Beautiful Bay Ridge Insta)
