Police Day on I-77

I arrived at work five minutes late today due to an unusually large police/ambulance presence on I-77 North this morning. One was a three car accident that had one cop taking care of things. Another was a construction truck on the side of the road that required a paramedic AND a traffic safety cop. Then there was the regular speeding ticket pullover that I passed. And lastly, two huge fire trucks came whizzing past me on the shoulder and veered off onto the Arrowood Road exit. The biggest slowdown was at the construction truck/ambulance scene – there were no pedestrians on the street, there was no accident that I could see, but everyone slowed down to take a peek in case they could see anything.

Frankly, I think it’s a miracle I was only five minutes late as opposed to fifteen or twenty!
