Items thrown from Bridges


Warning over 'reckless' teenagers hurling stones/Concrete at traffic from Bridges on Talavera way 

 

This is an extremely dangerous thing to do, and we would urge parents to impress upon their children the recklessness of throwing objects from bridges and to know where their children are and who they are with.

This type of incident can, and has, ended in tragedy we cannot stress how dangerous this is, particularly on the motorways/dual carriage ways where vehicles are travelling at higher speeds.

We are concerned that someone will be seriously injured and will be taking measures to deter anyone from doing this as well as dealing robustly with anyone caught doing this.

If you see anyone throwing objects from motorway bridges, please note down their description and then get in touch with us as soon as possible. We would also like to hear from anyone with any dashcam footage of the incidents in progress or anyone with any other information."
