Yesterday during rush hour there was a fatal accident on I-75 Northbound at Mack that caused a traffic catastrophe along I-75, I-95, and even to I-96. I was trying to make my way back in town from a business trip out to Kalamazoo and got stuck in the M-14 traffic, then the I-96 traffic, then the I-94 traffic. Who would have thought it would take longer for me to get from Ann Arbor to Detroit than to get from Kalamazoo to Ann Arbor?

This morning, a gravel truck overturned at I-94 closing the freeway and causing major backups on I-94 and heavy traffic on the otherwise smooth sailing I-96. I can’t imagine trying to get to the airport from the east side of town this morning. This accident caused heavy traffic on all the other freeways and caused a whole handful of accidents on 696 and 96 this morning as well.

Yikes!
