As I approached the most dangerous intersection on my commute this morning, I noticed a slightly longer than normal line at the light. After waiting in line for a few minutes I decided to slowly inch my way forward between the cars and then noticed several wrecked vehicles blocking both lanes in my direction. There was a four car crash (two looked really bad) that must have just happened because emergency crews were not yet on the scene. A few motorists were out of their vehicles and helping those who were injured.
There was no way to ride through so I decided to get off the bike and cross ped style. Lots of emergency vehicles started to show up as I was making my way across. I was running a little late this morning, but now was glad that I wasn't there any sooner. As always, be careful out there.
