This is exactly why I watch local news in the mornings as I get ready for work.

I took Florida instead of the interstate because it was such a clusterfrick, so of course a train was stopped on the tracks downtown.

Took me 50 minutes to get to work this morning. The entire office was late, understandably. Usually takes me 15minutes max.

The entire city is grid-locked

That’s about the absolute worst position a 18wheeler can be in. Sideways across both directions.

You know, it is very likely it was some a-hole trying to speed around the 18 wheeler and cut him off.

No frick this. 18 wheelers regularly haul arse on the interstate. Im sick of this narrative that 18 wheeler drivers are victims. Yes, other drivers suck too but at 4am when this wreck occurred, I doubt it was because some car was cutting him off. Either speeding or falling asleep.

Man I hate 18 wheelers. They think they own the road and half of them can’t even operate their truck properly. There needs to be punishments for causing disruptions like this.


Two 18 wheelers tried to detour around the neighborhood near Bet R. The first one(from Costco) tried to take a left on Hillsdale and got stuck because he didn’t have the angle. The second one is stuck right behind him. So the cars behind him instinctively try to around them. 2nd 18 wheeler driver got out of his truck, and started yelling drivers for wanting to go around. I’m thinking you guys not suppose to be in this neighborhood.

And the entire news page at the link is covered in Gordon - Get Gordon and Get It Done ads.

He must pay WAFB to hang his ad on any story about an 18 wheeler wreck. Goddamn traffic accident lawyers are scum.
