CENTER LOOP AFFECTING A LOT OF TRAFFIC THIS MORNING. IT’S A CEMENT TRUCK WITH AN SUV. WE HAD A FIRE HERE TOO. WE DO NOT KNOW IF THIS WAS IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ACCIDENT OR A PART OF IT. AND STILL NO word on injuries. YOU CAN SEE THE RAMP ABOVE THIS ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER, SIX, 770, ABOUT 535 IS DEFINITELY CARBINED. CHARRED OR THERE IS SOME SMOKE DAMAGE. MAYBE, OR MAKE A FIRE. BUT I DON’T THINK IT’S GOING TO BE ANYTHING ALONG THE LINES OF WHAT WE SAW IN 95. I BELIEVE IN THE NORTHEASTERN PART OF THE UNITED STATES. SEE HERE 670 NOW CLOSED IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. SO TURNING EAST 670 TO SOUTHWEST CORNER, BE FORCED TO ROUTE SOUTH I-35 TURNING WEST, 670 FORCED TO ROUTE NORTH, I-35 EXIT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER. NO WORD ON WHEN THEY PLAN TO DRAFT IT, BUT IT WILL BE A LONG TIME. SO I THINK PLANNING AN ALTERNATIVE ROUTE THROUGH HERE, IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA. AND AFTER ALL THAT, THE ON RAMP FROM BROADWAY TO I-35 SOUTH. WE ALSO HAVE A SHIPWRECK HERE. So yeah, not the best place to be. BULE’S SOUTHWEST ANGLON IS IN BAD SHAPE NOW
