Stuck

My coworker Joe and I went over to a site near Port Huron for work on Friday. It took the expected three hours to get there, but the return trip to took over four and half hours due to an accident in Detroit on 696 and construction on 96, west of Lansing.

Here we're approaching the accident. The smoke was, I assume, from a burning vehicle.



We were stopped for about 15 minutes.



The police eventually had us all turn around one by one and head back the way we had come so we could get off the highway at the closest off ramp.



This is what 96 West looked like west of Lansing. We did left the highway and did some exploring, and I think we beat the people who stayed in the jam by at least 20 minutes.
