. I was hoping to take that route to work today but I guess I'll have to take a detour. Anyone else having traffic woes today? This ramp is supposed to be one of the busiest ones in Houston... how's the traffic looking in general? Is it just me or is everyone stuck on this one road? 
... honestly can't say I'm surprised, those big rigs are always a hazard on our roads 
. Still, gotta give credit to TxDOT and Harris County Sheriff's Office for responding quickly and taking safety precautions seriously 
... hope everyone involved in this accident is okay 
.
like whats the big deal? a few cars gonna get hurt or killed and it'll be all over? 
and now people gotta sit in traffic for hours because of one 18-wheeler crash 
shouldn't they just use the detour already? the gov's got more important things to worry about than a closed freeway 
so some truck lost control on the freeway and now they're shutting down the whole thing i hope nobody got hurt 
my friend is moving to a new city soon do you think they should drive at night or day? i mean, highways are super scary even when you're just sitting in your car 
anyway, back to this truck accident... that's really reckless of them to not be paying attention on the road 
and now people have to deal with traffic jams for who knows how long 
. But I guess that's just the price we pay for progress... or something 
.
. So frustrating when accidents happen like this, it's always a nightmare to deal with traffic congestion. Hopefully they can get the repairs done ASAP so we don't have to sit in traffic for too long 
.
I'm all about supporting our first responders and keeping them safe, but we gotta think about these bigger picture things too... like how many accidents are gonna happen if they keep building highways without proper precautions? 
ugh man... another accident on the freeway 
anyone else stuck out there? 
anyway, good that the authorities are working on it ASAP 
at least we know our safety is top priority 
... can't believe they shut down the ramp. So frustrating when you're running late and don't know how to get around it 
. At least they're being cautious with traffic management, I guess it's better to be safe than sorry
