    In Kentucky SB I-65 MM 112. I heard a Swift went into the ditch. Probably a 7+ mile backup by now.

    65 in KY has been a daily nightmare.

    Simple rerouted though, get off at 116 or 117, take 61 for 11 miles and it will put you right back on 65!!! Easy peasy!!

    And honestly, 7m isn't even biggest of the week. Lol

    It's backed up past the 117. And Google Maps is showing red on the alternate route. This is the second time I've sat in a huge traffic jam on this same stretch recently.

    Just a week ago or so, iirc? Could have got off at the 121 and done same. My traffic program shows the alternate wide open!

    15 in perry utah has been a cluster for the past 5 days now. Because of construction and shutting down the only 2 lanes to 1. It adds 45 minutes to my day now.

    Last week southbound was backed up 10 miles, because a lady and her dog walked out on the freeway. And got hit by a semi. Once a year someone walks out on the freeway in that area. And it's usually a semi that hits them.
