An inconvenient death.

Tweet

I never did make it to music practice yesterday. I made it onto Highway 4, which I call "Gun Alley," and wound up at a dead stop about three miles in. I turned on the radio and learned that someone had run into traffic while fleeing the police and been run over by a car. All lanes were shut down. Unfortunately, I could not turn around (BART tracks) and was three miles from the next exit. After about an hour, I was able to "crawl" to the next exit (they finally opened two lanes). I considered finding an alternative route to my friend's house, but decided just to head home. I am glad I was in my new truck (Nissan), and not my aging Chevy Silverago. My Silverado did not like sitting in traffic for a long time. As I have said many times, I wish our local criminals would be more considerate of others. Every time there's a shooting (or other incident) on Highway 4, traffic gets snarled, sometimes for hours.
