Okay, it's not like the song, at all. Anyhow, by now it's been all over the news, but to recap, i-580 coming from SF collapsed onto the i-880 interchange from i-80W after a truck carrying full tanks of gasoline crashed. The driver escaped with second degree burns, but the freeway was not so lucky.
I wasn't sure where the freeway was down, and it's a lucky thing that it happened when the least amount of people would be out, sometime between 3AM and 4AM... some of my friends were driving back from eating, and saw the fire, and snapped a couple of pictures.
I drove past it this morning on my way to work, and I really had no idea where the freeway had capsized, I wasn't even sure if it wasn't my normal route to work, lucky for me it wasn't, but I'll definitely be taking a different way home to avoid the heavy traffic. I'm not even sure how much the freeway will affect commuters, but then of course at that split, we do get the bottleneck affect... it'll be interesting.
