While Northern VA is usually horrific with traffic, today was the worst. Apparently there was a huge accident on pretty much the only road that goes from my home to work.

Pretty crazy...I'm always under that bridge taking photos and what not

Directly below where accident took place

And while i bitch about being held up for work, I'm thankful I'm not one of the two people killed here today

I feel bad that they were killed but "accidents" are often caused by idiots. I can't stand when I get stuck in traffic because of someone's negligence.

yes, however ice is difficult to deal with no matter how experienced you are...and driving over a bridge just increased the odds of something like this happening.

it was above freezing this morning wasn't it ? I'm not too far away and it was 50F at 7am.
