At noon,I was in the rubbernecking traffic going south. But what a back up going north before they were turned off!
Then I was coming back north about 3 PM and we inched along after the Union tolls. I had hoped it would have cleared up by that time. But just about at the 280 exit -- it opened up and all was finally clear.
What a mess for holiday travelers. A worse time for those involved in the accident.
