Toronto Police Investigate Multiple Bridge-Thrown Object Incidents Mount Pleasant Road

Authorities have raised serious safety concerns regarding motorists ignoring red warning lights at the Gull Wing Bridge in Lowestoft, Suffolk, a £145 million lifting bridge designed to allow boats to pass through. Between March and July, 112 breaches of the red safety lights were recorded, including an incident where a van collided with the barrier, causing it to become inoperable and requiring urgent repairs. Suffolk County Council is considering tougher enforcement measures such as installing ANPR cameras to deter dangerous behavior. Meanwhile, in Toronto, police are investigating multiple incidents of objects being thrown from bridges along Mount Pleasant Road, which damaged several vehicles but did not cause injuries. Police are warning the public to stay vigilant and have indicated that anyone caught throwing items from bridges could face criminal charges. These incidents highlight ongoing challenges in ensuring bridge safety for both motorists and pedestrians in different regions.
