You know, that guy who thinks HIS TIME is more important than anyone else's.
On our way home from a Sunday drive on a Saturday we came across a bit of a mess.This guy decided to make the mess even worse by driving the wrong way back down the freeway.
Seems that a truck on the freeway (I-10) had decided to catch fire and block both lanes of traffic. One lane was finally opened to get the traffic flowing, however this took about 2 hours after the accident and with no exits on this section of freeway we found ourselves stuck in the middle.
What we found out later is that there was a State Policeman back down the way who ticketed every person that decided to pull this stunt!
Lucky for us we had packed a picnic lunch along with plenty of water since the heat was up to 102° F with a slight breeze from the East with a clear sky.
For reference this is Interstate 10 East of Vail Arizona, West of the Frontage Road overpass:
31.983552381672638, -110.54711529068143
