My Daily Route to Work

This is a map of my daily commute, its about 40 miles each way. This is so you can get an idea of where these accidents are happening. As you can see 95% of my commute is on RT 15, a 2 lane highway with trees in the median (dont worry, pretty much the whole highway is lined with guard rails). The problem is its not very wide, and there's barely a breakdown lane. The speed limit is still 55mph, but if you go slower than 70mph you'll get run over. The fast lane typically moves at 80mph during the rush hours.

Accident 4/11/05

This is not the greatest pic as it was actually on the other side of the highway and I'm using a cell phone to take these pics. This time I saw a black cloud of smoke from a half mile away. By the time I got to it the fire was out, but it looks like the Cherokee was on fire. Dont know what the other cars are that were involved. Made for some really horrible traffic going in to work. Hope no one was seriously injured. Firey Three Car Pile Up

Carnage Continues 4/12/05

Somewhere by Wallingford/North Haven on Rt. 15 a car was flipped over on its side. Once again the accident wasn’t on my side of the highway, but it caused a back up of about 1.5 miles. I tried to take a pic but I took it a second too late and the flatbed truck was in the way. I think I’m going to start taking videos instead. But its not over yet. There was another accident down by New Haven about half a mile before the tunnel, again on the other side of the highway. Two cars were involved. One looked like a late 80s Corolla and the other looked like an early 90s Benz. The accident didn’t look too bad, the cars were about 100 feet apart with debris littered between the two and the Benz was facing the wrong way. Amazingly enough this accident caused no back up on my side so I wasn’t ready for it and I couldn’t take a pic.
