Comma question: charge down the street(, )towards the bridge

[huxley]

i need some one to tell me if it's correct.

---jonny's race car, the snail, leads the charge down the street(,)towards the bridge.

would i put a comma there.

is "towards the bridge" a nonessential clause ?

how would i make that sentense grammarticaly correct.

Towards the bridge is not a clause; it is a prepositional phrase acting as an adverb. The comma is optional, depending on how restrictive that information is considered by the writer; however, I would omit it, because it slows down the action of the sentence-- which is quite rapid, considering that it is about a race!

I also would omit the comma but I would put an and in that same spot if the bridge is not at the end of the street but is the final destination.

Oh, and capitalize Jonny and The Snail (which I presume is the race car's name).
