Pretty sure I saw somebody die this morning but I hope he is ok. A few people had stopped but there wasn't anything you could really do. Does anybody have any info on this?? It happened on the Basin Bridge at the Butte LaRose exit. He had hit the rail getting off the exit.

Damn. I must have been by minutes after it happened. There were a few folks stopped and I figured it was no use stopping because if they didn't have him out by now they weren't going to get him out. Plus I have no skills applicable to this situation so I would have just been piling up traffic.

Traffic starts backing up at the University exit and you gotta get off on 49.
