Auto insurance agents in the Los Angeles area must be having a field day today. Never before have I seen so many wrecks, spin-outs, fender-benders, and all-around terrible driving in a single day, thanks to some storm moving through the area.
How bad was it?
The weather, the traffic, the accidents...?
Accidents and traffic.
Let's see...
Traffic sucked. I mean, it's LA so that's to be expected, but it was worse than normal.
Accidents ranged from relatively minor (a car or two pulled to the side of the road or spun out facing the wrong way, often just a single cop taking statements), to bizarre (nearly a dozen cars pulled to the same shoulder, spread out a little but clearly they either all hit in the same area or were all involved), to the nasty (several lanes of oncoming traffic blocked by a bunch of emergency vehicles), and finally the very recent (car spun out in the middle of the highway. It must have been recent because traffic was still moving instead of jamming up for five miles).
Those were the ones I remember. Plus tow trucks errywhere, coming and going. A couple of heavy-duty tow trucks as well.
ninjaedit: I typed this whole thing up and I'm not gonna wipe it because of a "never mind" :X
