So I'm on vacation right now, and this weekend headed up to the Lehigh Valley for a wrestling weekend with some friends. As we're driving up I-95 and come to Baltimore, I suddenly realize there's no traffic on the southbound side. And as I look ahead, I see a whole lotta flashing emergency lights blocking off the ENTIRE interstate.
Naturally, there was some rubbernecking going on in the northbound lanes, and we indulged in some ourselves... and saw that the reason for the blockage was a tanker truck. No, it hadn't jackknifed, but it had apparently been on fire.
The fire was out (not even smoke anymore), but the side of the truck was scorched, and we passed a good empty stretch after the last of the emergency vehicles, and saw all southbound traffic being diverted off at the nearest exit.
Like the title of this post says, I can only imagine the rage that might have been generated in the southbound lanes because of that.
