Every Driver's Nightmare by skipt07

Every Driver's Nightmare

This was taken from an overpass above I80 west bound before the PA/Ohio state lines. A tanker truck overturned in the median slowing west bound traffic. Both west bound lanes as far as you could see in both directions from the overpass were backed up and at a crawl.
Wow

@kerristephens Thank you Kerri!

@groovygirlrn - You can say that again. I updated the information in the description. It took a long time to clear the overturned tanker which contained fuel.

@marlboromaam - Thank you Maggie! Fortunately the traffic was moving, albeit very slowly. You may pin it, even though I don't know why.

@stephw - Thank you very much Stephanie!!

@lynnb - Thank you very much Lynn! I updated the description information.

@victorypuzzle - Thank you very much Dominique!!

Nice clear night shot. There are so many accidents on I80.

Wonderful night shot! I've spent my share of time in jams like this. I always try to have patience. :)

@travelingcamper - Thank you Lorena!! Yes there are!! Many times we become aware of them when we noticed a large amount of truck traffic being re-routed between exit ramps.

@mandyj92 - Thank you Amanda! That's about all you can do is have patience and hope that you have enough gas to make it through to the next exit.
