Default Bad accident on 581 tonight...

Does anyone have any information about it? Looked bad from the other side, but I didn't rubber neck. There looked to be about a half dozen fire trucks and a large assortment of police/medics/etc. I haven't seen that many flashing lights in a long time!

Actually, it gave my goose bumps. I don't know what happened, but I pray that they're going to live to tell about it... I thought I saw the underside of a car from the other side of the road, but who knows.

btw... it was right near the orange avenue entrance to go towards valley view. I'm not sure if that's north or south.

It was later... Probably 11:30-12:00 last night. I posted this thread shortly after I got home, so it had to have been pretty late.

I think I might have heard sirens coming out of the movie theater around 11:30 or so, didn't take that way though..

I hope they are OK..

Man, they really need to stress to their editors to tone down on the length and detail of these reports! I almost lost interest halfway through.

Yea, I hope they are alright too, i bet they are if there weren't any crazy collisions involved or whatnot.

lol... I know. It's a really short article.

I'm glad to hear that's all it was, as far as a vehicle flipping over. I guess that's what the big crane was out there for. I thought it was a terrible multiple car accident where someone was ejected or killed on the spot though, because that's usually a bad sign when you see THAT MANY flashing lights and people standing around.
