9:00am Wednesday 26th March 2008
PARENTS in Ross-on-Wye are being urged to talk to their children about the dangers of playing on bridges after two reported incidents of objects being thrown at vehicles on the A40.
Motorists reported bricks or rocks being thrown from the Bridge between the Wilton and Ross Labels roundabouts at around 7pm on Monday (March 24).
A small group of young people was seen throwing the objects and then hiding in bushes near to the bridge.
No vehicles were struck but police are stressing the danger of doing this.
They are encouraging parents, and especially those with children of high school age, to talk to their offspring and reinforce the dangers of throwing objects from bridges.
