Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Common Interests Traffic Jam

6 hours.

It was last year and we were on our way to Oklahoma City.

It was in a stretch of Texas on I-35 where there isnt a whole lot around. Anyways a truckish van type of vehicle (couldnt recognize it when I passed it) crossed the grass median and slammed into other cars. Those who MISSED the truck crossed the grass median and slammed into our lanes cars.

I saw bodies in the road and grass with yellow sheets over them. I think there were 7 dead...it was a crime scene not and accident site so they had the highway shut down. Its pretty messed up because I had nightmares of the bodies seeping blood through their yellow covers, it can mess a person up.

The sheriff cruisers sped up (past us) to the nearest exit and started directing traffic off it. Those ahead of the exit were stuck because the Semi's couldnt do full turnarounds and so they blocked us all in.

I got some much needed sleep though.
