The Great Philly Fire Sale (on Wheels)!
Friday saw I-95 South transform into a scene straight out of an action movie. A tractor-trailer decided to do the robot, jackknifed, and then – wouldn't you know it – burst into flames! Don't worry, the driver escaped unharmed, but the southbound lanes were toast (literally) for a good chunk of the day.
Commuters were left to channel their inner Lewis and Clark, navigating uncharted territory (a.k.a. side streets) to get where they needed to be.
QuickTip: Note key words you want to remember.
Moral of the story: Maybe lay off the greasy cheesesteaks before hitting the road, folks. You never know what fiery surprises await.
Wrong Way Wright? A Not-So-Funny Flip
Sunday night took a tragic turn when a drunk driver decided I-95 North was a one-way street (spoiler alert: it's not). A young woman lost her life in the head-on collision, leaving a community heartbroken. This is a stark reminder to always plan ahead for a designated driver or rideshare if you've been indulging in some adult beverages.
QuickTip: Skim the intro, then dive deeper.
Remember: The highway ain't the place to play Mario Kart.
Looking ahead to the Fourth of July: With the holiday weekend upon us, expect some increased congestion on I-95. Pack your patience, some good tunes, and maybe a stress ball (or three).
Tip: Reflect on what you just read.
Here's hoping for a safe and (relatively) smooth ride!
