Los Angeles, CA

Traffic doesn't cut the mustard on the 5!
What a flippin mess over on the 5 Freeway at Glenoaks Boulevard right now.  Both sides of the heavily traveled interstate here in Los Angeles has been closed down in BOTH directions according to information posted by the California Highway Patrol just around an hour ago.

The spill was reported at 10:56 p.m.
Here is a "minute by minute update" on the mess...
I HATE THE 5 FREEWAY! I am SO SO GLAD that it is FINALLY BEING REBUILT here in the Southeast Los Angeles Area. Be SAFE.... Keep you posted.

Oh, btw, if you have any iPhotos or iVideos, send them to my email at economy4abc.blogspot.com@gmail.com
