When I left for work on Friday morning, I heard the traffic report just as I was going up the on-ramp to the bridge.  They reported an overturned SUV just before Treasure Island and to expect long delays.  Just a minute before, I had 3 emergency vehicles pass me.  No wonder.  Luckily my on-ramp is already on the bridge so I didn’t have to fight the 101 back-up.  I stayed on the far right lane and we all just crept along smoothly with all the action happening on the far left.  My commute to work usually takes only 15-20 minutes and traffic is typically light so the fewer number of cars having to squeeze by really helped.  As I approached the scene at a snail’s pace, I got a clear view of the accident.  Crazy.  In the 7 years I’ve been driving to work, this has not yet happened on my commute.  How do you flip your car in such a narrow roadway anyway?!  Fortunately, I was only about 10 minutes late to work just in time to join Stephanie for our Greasy Food Friday breakfast.

On my way home, there was another accident at the 280-101 interchange so my westbound commute on the bridge was slower than usual.  What a crazy Friday.  It’s just funny to think this is a heavy traffic day for me (10-minute delay both ways).  I’m pretty lucky right now and I certainly do not miss LA traffic.
