NEW YORK – The New York Police Department says a truck abandoned several yards from a toll booth near the Manhattan side of the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge is empty and isn't a threat.

The bridge has reopened for traffic after being closed briefly.

Police say witnesses had reported seeing a man flee the vehicle Wednesday night. A smell of gasoline was reported coming from the vehicle, which was described as a U-Haul or Ryder truck.

Police X-rayed the truck and cut a hole in the side to discover it was empty. They're looking to speak to the person who abandoned it.

7. Probably didn't have the money to pay the toll and get past the toll booth.

It wasn't his truck so he just left it there.

Or maybe he just had a panic attack.

Third possibility: he realized that he didn't really have the driving skills to manage that truck. (I don't think I would.)

This development will consume at least a week of Cable Nooze ©.

God and Betty Bowers save us all.
