Deerfoot Accident between McKnight and 32nd

[CaptainReboot]

Anybody else get caught in this on the way to work this morning?

I normally don't take Deerfoot, but had to drop my car off at T and T Honda for some servicing.

Took me almost 2 hours to get to work. It was backed up everywhere.

[euro tang]

I wasn't affected by it but my co-worker was. He said it was backed up all the way from Bowtrail and 37th St. SW. :eek:

Yeah, people spill into other roads which took me extra 10min to get to downtown.

I wasn't on Deerfoot, but a lot of the traffic was detoured to Centre St. and that added about 15 minutes of driving to my commute downtown.

Barlow was backed up too. It only took me an extra 10 minutes or so though.

yeah, i saw it as i was getting onto deerfoot from 32nd, and it looked bad. Glad I had the vibe on to tell me not to take the mcknight to deerfoot ramp.

[azn_crazed]

Reports said alcohol was not a factor, so that makes you wonder... He sideswiped 3 cars before hitting head on into another one..... Buddy shouldn't endanger others lives because his own sucks.... He should have explored other methods.
