A crash is on the Brooklyn-bound upper level, according to an alert shortly after 6 a.m. from the MTA. According to ABC7, a tractor-trailer is involved in the incident.

I was talking to some old-timers about how they drove to California for the bicentennial, and they mentioned a boat parade and the flag on the Verrazano-Narrows which sparked my interest to look into this story.
