A fine way to start today:
Overturned semi truck puts the brakes on morning I-5 commute
PORTLAND, Ore. - A semi with a heavy load of spooled steel overturned in the northbound lanes of Interstate 5 Thursday morning, creating a massive traffic headache for commuters just as the morning rush hour got underway. The truck accident shut off the northbound lanes of the freeway completely in an area known for accidents and overturns. The truck was reportedly carrying 20 tons of steel. ODOT officials called in heavy lift tow trucks to move the big rig and shut down I-5 at several points in order to divert drivers around the accident. The condition of the truck driver has not been released.
I know something about his condition anyway: I gave that a-hole the finger as I finally went past him on Barbur this morning.
