Generally speaking, when people talk about traffic coming to a complete stop, they are exaggerating somewhat…not this time. We sat still for about five minutes and then I turned the radio to the all news station and got the traffic report. A truck had overturned just before the next exit and all lanes were stopped. The report said that emergency crews were on their way, but it would be a while. Just great.
I said to Kevin, “How are you doing? Will you be okay?”
“Maybe, as long as we get moving soon.”
And so we sat for another ten minutes. I noticed a lot of other cars were shutting down their engines and people were getting out and sitting on their hoods or leaning against their fenders.
