REALLY bad accident on 494/62 this morning

**scheides** · 08-01-2008

So I'm driving out of downtown on 394 this AM and a hospital car (yes) flies past me in the diamond lane with its lights on. I end up getting on 494 south towards my office, and just before 62, on the other side (northbound) there is a MASSIVE pile-up. In the front, envision a semi truck jack-knifed, but the cab is smashed against the center wall, and done a compelte 180, and is now melded into the trailor (i.e. uber uber jack-knifed!). Pretty sure there was a car or three tangled in it as well, and then traffic was just a disaster behind it, and the about 30+ rescue vehicles.

Damn. I remember one time when I was coming home from Vegas There was a crazy accident and everyone was parked on the highway in both directions and they brought in a helicopter to take a few passangers away.
