    Pretty infuriating. Completely preventable. I hope the injured are ok. And I hope someone shows your picture to the driver so they can see what they caused. In fact, good job on that photo. Really gives one an idea of the magnitude.

      Thanks, Mr. Loomis! We’re lucky to get photos from our readers and chose that one because it did accurately sum up the situation – with resultant jam-up afterward. Interestingly, the photo also triggered a few conversations last night with folks who have found themselves in similar situations, which was illuminating. Luckily, we believe all injuries out there were minor in nature.

    I hope the injured are okay too. As far as showing the picture to the driver who caused this preventable crash, it might sink in if the person isn’t an alcoholic in denial.
