NE 160th St and 405

We live just off the intersection of 405 and 160th St. Recently, a bunch of flowers appeared on the bridge. I finally searched for what it was about and thought it was this story about a fatal hit and run accident on 405. Unfortunately it looks like it might have been this other story about a teen who jumped or fell off the bridge and was run over by multiple cars. Occam’s razor suggests that second story is a suicide since he was wearing all black and it’s pretty hard to fall over that railing. So whichever event those flowers are for, it’s a lot of sadness happening close to home!
