    Man oh man. At least it didn't kill anyone.

    Probably a heart attack? The high winds and tight lanes got his blood pressure up?

    RIP driver!

    It was a heart attack. My sister is up there and that is what the bridge worker told her happened. Nobody in the car was hurt.

    I cross that bridge every week. I can understand how someone not used to crossing it and with the winds as high as they were would have a heart attack! I think if I were dying for sure from a heart attack on that bridge, I would rather drive off the edge and have one last thrill ride before it is over!... then again... I love roller coasters
