I think this one can be chalked up to a driver gone bonkers in a haywire traffic situation this evening reportedly due to a 'suspicious package' which caused the closure of Hill between Sixth and Seventh right before 5p.

Getting from Flower and Sixth to Main and Ninth took the better part of 25 minutes because of the snarl of buses and gridlock. Walking would have been faster.

This is why you can't shut down traffic for filming (often called Intermittent Traffic Control, or ITC) during morning and evening rush hours anywhere in Central City.

I spotted a few news helicopters which seemed to respect safe altitudes over the Historic Core.
