morning traffic..

[ElKy]

got stuck in a huge back up on 495 this morning.
one car in the median, one car into the guardrail....
one body about 4' from my car as i drove by.

apparently a hitchhiker was struck and killed.
still havent heard any more than that.

not a good highway to be hitchhiking on at 6 am.

heard about that on the news this morning. it's too bad. apparently they were taking aerials of the scene from a chopper for forensics. that was the reason for most of the hold-up.

saw the choppers, i was at a stand still for about 20 minutes.

That has to be the worst thing to see.

I would have thought the body would have been worse than the choppers.

Hit quote instead of post I guess, and didn't see what I did. But yes the body...

I saw that on the news, was crazy. There have been too many people-walking-on-highway accidents recently.

Who hitch hikes on the highway at 6am? On a weekday no less. Besides I thought hitchhiking went out in the 70s.
