CALLING DR DEUCE....CALLING DR. DEUCE


LOS ANGELES - Police were searching for the vehicle, Tuesday, believed to have dropped a "dummy bomb" on a freeway north of Los Angeles, Monday afternoon, snarling traffic for hours. :shock:

The incident began at around 3:30 p.m. when a driver reported that an "aerial bomb" fell out of a truck onto westbound lanes and came to rest on the shoulder, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Some lanes on 210 freeway were shut in Sylmar shortly after 4 p.m. The California Highway Patrol called in city firefighters, who then called in the Los Angeles Police Department Bomb Squad, the Times reported.
