Lincoln Tunnel Delays Due To Assault Investigation

2009_04_tunnel2.jpg Somewhat unusual: There are delays at the Lincoln Tunnel not due to traffic but because the police are investigating an alleged assault. WABC 7 reports, "Police say a woman claimed she was assaulted, possibly sexually, inside a white Hummer limousine just after 4:30 a.m... Four men reportedly left the scene in the Hummer limousine, and authorities were looking to question them." Therefore, the West 42nd Street's westbound lanes were closed at 10th Avenue, causing delays. WABC 7 also says the woman was taken to the hospital for treatment of injuries.
