WASHINGTON HEIGHTS, Manhattan (WABC) — Debris fell onto a passing car in Washington Heights, injuring one person.<\/p>\n

It happened in the westbound lanes of the Trans-Manhattan Expressway, part of Interstate 95, just before 8 a.m. on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

One person was taken to the hospital.<\/p>\n

The westbound approach to the lower level of the George Washington Bridge is now closed, and drivers were being diverted to the upper level.<\/p>\n

A clip went viral of a chunk of concrete hitting another car last Thursday, May 7, in what appeared to be similar location along the same stretch of road.<\/p>\n

The driver in that instance wasn’t harmed, but suffered significant damage to his car.<\/p>\n

The Port Authority was on the scene to evaluate the area underneath the George Washington Bridge Bus Terminal and beneath some apartments.<\/p>\n
