Default Re: I-581 CLOSED Tanker Explosion

We were close by right after it happened before they were blocking off the bridges and just as they were starting to divert traffic... I thought we were getting pulled over when I saw blue lights approaching behind us at a high speed. lol

It was like a circus over near Jefferson and Walnut though.. People were parking on the side of the road watching, and walking from all over to see the flames. It was intense! I'm sorry that there was a life lost though

On the bright side, if you wanted to get on at Elm and go towards Valley View, you could enjoy the open road knowing all the traffic and police were on the other side of the concrete barrier... if you just so happened to want to accelerate to the speed limit quickly
