Traffic Jam on 295 This morning

[Fastbird]

Right at the interchange from 42 North. Took me freakin 25 minutes to get from exit 8 on 42 up to 295. Why??? Funny you should ask.

Right past the interchange is where the accident was. A NJ State Trooper had aparrently lost control, departed the paved surface, and forcefully met head on with a tree. Doh!

Funny part is I wondered if that was the same State Trooper that rear-ended my fiancee a few months back.

he was either driving tired (from all that overtime they got this summer or driving drunk. either way, he'll claim he was forced off the road by another driver, who subsequently got away...

i'd put money on it that he was excessivly speeding or tailgating or both

195 was backed up earlier. Right hand lane on the turnpike was clogged when I was on my way back from hackensack at 7 am.

That 295, 76, 42 55 area is always hell. Come over the walt whitman on a friday around 5:00 when your job sends you over to the stadiums ..... thats not fun! And then the lovely rolling roadblocks on 295 (construction area) always call for excitement.
