Last night west bound I70 was shutdown for several hrs for an accident. We saw more than 10 tractor trailers head up our road with many cars following. The thing is the road they were on ends at a 3 way intersection just after going over a 1 lane bridge with a 90deg turn before the bridge. I’m not sure how the rigs made the turn onto the bridge and then the turn at the stop sign. Turning right at the stop sign takes them back towards where they came. Turning left takes them towards sections of winding 1 lane road.
Following the trucks in this case would have been a bad option. Traffic was backed up and stopped on our road.
