You guys don't see me often,  on the computer or into the real world I just don't get out much right now.  SOOOO I head out yesterday only to sit in traffic from about 3:45 pm to 5:30 Pm  at which time the public turned themselves back around.
LK can give you grim details but here is a link to a story about it.

Don't tell me that's Rick's truck in the middle of all that.

Oh no.

We were on our way up to Wilkes Barre in the pickup when we ended up stopped about 1/2 mile behind the tail end of this 37 vehicle tangle.

Now based on that, we were just under a minute from being involved in the mess!

The final tally was 1 fatality and 23 transported to hospitals.

wow. I'd lose my mind sitting around waiting to get out of there. Do they make you sit until it's cleared or do they close the highway and let you turn around and go backward to the previous exit to get out of there?

We ended up turning around and going to the exit.
