"This is far from breaking news, but southland motorists once again have proven that they can’t drive in the rain.
The California Highway Patrol is reporting 315 accidents alone between 5 and 9 this morning. Compared to the 43 this time last week, that’s more than 7 fold increase.
In addition to crashes, flooding also played havoc with the roads. In the Newhall Pass, the truck bypass lanes of the 5 had 2 feet of standing water in the roadway. The 10 freeway at Santa Anita was flooded out for a while."
Just watched the local news. Averaging one accident every other minute all day. Then add in all the landslides, fallen trees and flooded roads. There's already been about 6 rescues of cars being swept away by flooding. They are saying this is the worst rain in decades and we are supposed to get another 4-5 inches tomorrow.
You want to be an idiot, go ahead and ride your bike in San Diego in the rain.
