This seems to happen every two to three weeks. Hoopty cars tend to overheat going up the hill then by the time they get to the tunnel all hell breaks loose
I’m driving westbound on 24 and saw the traffic is really backed for miles. I also saw fire trucks speeding by. I hope the driver is okay. Super scary for a fire to happen in the tunnel.
I’m on the scanner I literally just heard them say they need to shut down all tunnels
@Chichondedios Two vehicles, 3 patients both tunnels 1 and 2 closed
Well guess thats my excuse not to go to antioch today lol
@sisiworld there’s never any excuse to go to Antioch. Trust me.
