My Grandmother and Father told me that when my Father, Robert Harold Riggs, was a young man that he and some of his friends were side swiped by a truck as they were crossing the bridge. The accident sent Dad's car over the side of the bridge onto the railroad tracks below. Dad's best friend was killed in the accident. I am assuming it happened late in the 1920's or early 30's.
