“The first thing they did was conduct X-rays to give them an idea of what was inside the box if anything. They saw nothing. At that point, they cut a hole in side of the truck — on the left side of the truck — so they could visually inspect inside to make sure the X-rays hadn’t missed anything. The X-ray was confirmed, there was nothing inside. They had also inspected the engine, the undercarriage and the cab; all negative for anything dangerous.”
A Bridge and Tunnel Authority officer reportedly saw the driver jump out of the truck and then run toward the Queens side of the bridge.
Police are searching for the driver who left the truck.
