So i get on the I-75 this afternoon headed home and less than 3 minutes in, traffic comes to a complete stop. About 20 minutes later, after countless police, fire trucks and ambulances go by on the right shoulder, a Bayflight helicopter lands in the roadway to take out the injured.
So about 20-30 minutes more go by, and I notice that some people are flying down the same shoulder of the road to try and make it to the next exit, which mind you is about 3-4 miles up the road. Some of them try and fly into a space whenever they see one open, but others just blissfully drive down the shoulder of the road or even further into the grass when trying to avoid someone who tried to wedge into a small space but couldn't make it. Cops were still coming by on the same shoulder every so often.
So another 20-30 minutes go by and the road starts to open a bit, only the left lane. As I slowly make my way up there, what do I see on the right? About 30 cars, all pulled over by a bunch of cops next to the accident, giving them ALL tickets. Since the accident was off the right shoulder, the cops put up cones, not only in the right lanes, but also all the way across the right shoulder and grass, it basically just corralled them all together.
Not to mention about 30 feet in front of where they were stopped, there were two sheets on the ground covering what looked like two bodies. Sure enough, I come home and read this;
