The Interstate

Today, we ventured out in the aftermath of the blizzard. The side streets were not plowed, but our 4wd got through it.

Interstate travel was 25mph all the way through. No real stopping and starting occurred, which was good, because it went from snowpacked to icey, and back again.

On the way home, I saw the most amazing thing… it was an accident in motion. A big one. A semi-truck (day cab) plowed into the interstate center divider… the concrete one. Head on. Behind him, 5 or 6 cars skidded to a stop.. all of them in varying degrees off of where they should be.. some at 90 degrees, some 180.. Some of them none too happy!

At least they didn’t hit the truck. I believe one hit the same divider that the truck did, but overall, everyone came to a safe stop. Whether they bounced off of each other, only they know. I am just glad I wasn’t on that side of the Interstate.
