Around 6 am this morning, I heard a noise that sounded like something falling off a roof with one of my neighbors. Little did I know, it was probably one of the seven 18 Wheelers squishing one of the three cars in an ugly pile up which totally hosed north-bound I-35 traffic for over three hours. Thankfully no one was seriously injured according to the paper. I had to get across the intersection so my only hazard was numerous rubberneckers, idiots driving on the shoulder to get ahead and people turning around, thinking that Grand Avenue would be easier than Wells Branch (didn’t matter since APD re-routed the I-35 traffic into the feeders). One of the trucks spilled most of its diesel fuel which was why the accident took so long to clear.
According to this map, here’s where it happened. My house is within a mile or two northeast of it. Must have been an amazing collision if I could hear it that far away in a half-awake state.
