The Cause of Traffic - Fx4

Saturday I was driving to Illinois to meet my friend, Kris, so our sons could spend the afternoon at the pool together. I got caught in traffic and couldn't figure out why....until I saw this:




I took this picture with my camera phone, so its not the best quality....but its always convenient. They were in the process of cleaning up after this accident at this point. The cab and front part of the trailer of that truck were totally burned up. I never did listen to the news to hear what happened to cause the accident, if anything/anyone else was involved, or the status of the driver of that truck.

As always, if you'd like to participate in this week's Friday Foto Finish Fiest, or if you just want to look at some more pictures, head on over to Candid Carrie's and check it out!

Have a great weekend.....and please drive safely!!!

I hate any accidents but when they look bad like that, I really do feel for the families and people involved.

That looks like an awful accident. Even if it's a camera phone shot, it's still amazing because of what was captured.
