    How is traffic heading south just before Louisville?

    About a month ago I went to Louisville everyday and sat in traffic every day. It took 4 hours to get from Indy to Louisville more than once.

    Its still ###### up. If your going to the UPS hub get in the left lane at about the 3 mile marker and you will get across the bridge easier.

    Well I guess your not even "here" if you had actually given some thought to what I had typed,,,Yes i was there for 2 hours,and no I did not see any emergency vehicles on the southbound side,but I did see the State police and county coroner vehicle in the North Bound side:biggrin_2554:,but pay Close attention to the second line

    I really dont know the circumstances about each one other than it took over 2 hours to go little over 10 miles(but im still upright and breathing so it was a minor inconveniance to me in only lost time)


    the intent on the thread really had nothing to do with either wreck or its outcome to the drivers,it had to do with the azzhats that were in the backup for two hours

    And for the record I dont have a CB in my truck,havent had one in 5 years,dont need it

    But nice "Rant" dude,nice rant:biggrin_25525:

    I was there (sorta) I listened to the CB and got off of 65 and ran 31W down to E town (through Ft. Knox etc...) then ran the parkways on my way to Memphis. It was backed up from the 109 SB all the way to the Pilot at 121 when I hit it.

    LMFAO
    So you dont have a CB radio, never seen any emergency vehicles at one crash site but you claim to have seen county coroners vehicle, so just how did you come to the conclusion that both crash's had fatalities?
    I really dont think you even seen a coroners vehicle at a accident with only minor injuries.
    Its people like you that get on the CB or in this case the internet and open your piehole about things you know nothing about. Thats my rant, you DA!

    And Yet again you show your ignorance,the post has little if anything to do with the accident(s),
    It was how the traffic was behind them,but again the Mr 379(yeah right),,nice rant Dude,nice rant:biggrin_25525:

    Try re reading the post YET AGAIN and maybe for the 3rd time you will get it,or do i have to explain it just for you again,,on second thought just send me another rant

    *Disclaimer*- On the southbound accident,hours later at a truckstop i ran into a Mason&Dixson oversized driver that had been beside me,he was the one who told me southbound accident had a fatality

    Not that it matters as it pertains to the thread though,as my point was about the traffic backup

    You should see it since they upped the speed limit to 70 mph:biggrin_25524:

    The stretch between 160 and 195 seems to be Fed-Ex's achilles heel lately:biggrin_25513:

    Who said the driver died of a heart attack??did they do an autopsy on the sholder of the road and then hold up the results so the passing motorist could read them while sitting in traffic..:biggrin_25513:
