When I was with the fire department in the east bay, we had a Semi (articulated lorry) carrying tomatoes that had broken down and was in the breakdown lane. Another articulated lorry hit him in the back at about 65-70 miles an hour. Needless to say, nobody on the crew was hungry for tomato sauce for a while... I was on my way to the station that morning. I left sacramento about 4AM and arrived just in time for lunch. The traffic was _that_ bad.
