Drag Racing Florida Man Is the Only One To Ever Shut Down A Bridge

Author Jim Monaghan

DATELINE – Pittsburgh PA

When Florida Man takes a road trip, he goes all out!

When Graham Liberal, some kind of Florida Man social media star, arrived in the Steel City from the Sunshine State last week, it was with the intention of setting up some kind of car meet for his social media content.

What ended up happening was a crowd of 300 people and around 50 cars gathering to shut down the Fort Pitt Bridge around 3 AM last Friday morning.

As you can see in the video below from KDKA TV in Pittsburgh, the scene was crazy with cars doing “donuts” on the bridge among other reckless behavior.

More than four dozen cars and possibly upward of 300 people took over the bridge around 3 a.m. on Friday morning.

For his part, Liberal was charged with riot, recklessly endangering another person, disorderly conduct and pedestrians walking on a highway.

Illegal drag racing happens all over the country, but according to Pittsburgh police, this is the first time something like this has ever shut down a bridge.
