Wickery Bridge

Wickery Bridge (sometimes known as Old Wickery Bridge) was a bridge that was featured heavily in the novel series and was only mentioned a handful of times in the TV series. It was used as the setting for the car crash that killed Elena Gilbert's parents before the start of the series. In the novel series, Elena was being chased by an unknown entity and got into a car wreck where she drowned, becoming a vampire.

In the season 3 episode, "Our Town," Stefan kidnaps Elena to get Klaus to back off and call off his hybrids. He threatens to drive her off Wickery Bridge and turn her into a vampire.
