Yes, passed both the fatal motorcycle accident on the Williamsburg Bridge and the one on the Brooklyn Bridge which the police said was caused by the motorist going the wrong way; “Brooklyn Bridge: Man Dies After Slamming Into Parked DOT Truck (News)”

Not exactly carnage, but it could have been truly devastating. Only on Staten Island folks. http://www.silive.com/westshore/index.ssf/2009/08/teen_broke_120_mph_on_korean_w.html And then there’s this gem.

It was awful and on full view for all the folks on the pedestrian span. I believe it was this week that I saw the aftermath of a fatality crash on the Williamsburg Bridge.
