Tractor trailer crash, fuel spill in Cromwell causes delays on I-91 south

0430 hours is rush hour? I thought rush hour in Connecticut would have been 0700 to 0900 hours

 

Nah, CT does slow down some what. Only real rush is when there is a accident and you see all the idiots that try to drive on the shoulder. The funny part is, up ahead there will be a police car that will be ticketing anyone that has driven on the shoulder to get there.

 

It is if you’re taking I-91 south to I-95 south to get to NYC...

 

I recall a epic, epic and totally epic smashup on 95 at the Q bridge in Conn roughly 1993 A tractor trailer rammed into another tractor trailer. The two sets of vehicles slammed into all 4 lanes of stopped traffic at the high point of the Q bridge.

This was northbound at 5:10 or so. I had passed that point 20 minutes prior.

Anyway. The Connecticut media slams the 95 total closure all that day. Into the night. (Enduring the afternoon rush hour.) Into the next morning, I roll back southbound at 6 am, the same cars, the same people this time sitting around coffee, pizza delivery boxes and junkfood with really bad attitudes, poor hygene and wanting home right now yesterday waiting on the cleanup. They finally opened the road nb at about 2PM that afternoon. It was not until 10 am the next morning on day three I come back north at about 80+ in a 55 zone. with a herd of 4 lanes worth of cars doing 100+ I had maxed out that poor cummins and I could not keep up with the bigger Cats who were abusing me on the radio for holding THEM up....
