The driver told officers he believed someone had placed a bomb in his car because it was making a ticking sound. Police secured the area, removed the driver from the vehicle, and emergency crews evaluated him.
Police reported that no explosives were found and said the ticking sound was believed to be caused by a mechanical malfunction.
