Traffic Jam

One afternoon a few weeks ago Travis and I stood at the top of the hill watching the drama caused by the driver of a Dodge Durango, who inadvertently took the off-ramp at Harrison Drive back onto I-80 going east in the westbound lane. He had a head-on collision with a semi and was pronounced dead at the scene. Traffic had to be diverted through town from the exit at Front Street, which made downtown a nasty mess. We turned the radio in the City truck to the police band and heard them call Jeff the Animal Control officer to come out and get the driver's dog. Sadness and trauma for everyone. (Hey, I can see my sister's house.)
