It was the mid-70's, when Emergency Service cops still wore the regular uniform hats.
Just before the morning rush hour, a truck carrying a truck-load of cattle came off the Whitestone Bridge, and took the relatively new cut-off for the Cross Bronx Expressway, a turn that engineers thought was sufficient for any vehicle. The tight turn caused a shift of the load on the truck. The results were a rodeo of Highway and Emergency cops trying to literally lasso loose cattle that escaped from their overturned ride.
If any one can identify any of the "ol' timers" in this picture (sent to us by reader), let us know!
