FORT LEE, N.J. — A 28-year-old Fort Lee resident was arrested after video showed him riding on the exposed bed of a moving flatbed truck as it crossed the George Washington Bridge toward New Jersey, authorities said.
Port Authority police identified the man as Arnesia Crawford. The incident occurred around 11 a.m. on Sept. 3 on the bridge’s upper level as the truck traveled toward Fort Lee.
