We usually have a charmed life when it comes to traffic in S.W. Michigan.

Trust me, I've lived in bad traffic areas.  We have it good here.  However, today was quite the challenge.  On my way to the KFR studios this morning my Nissan Cube was barely able to turn on to Main Street in Mattawan.  Then, I had to drive up onto a very high curb to avoid the broken down semi blocking the entire entrance ramp onto I-94 E.  Soon after that I heard a report of a semi accident on the Eastbound side of I-94 at the same exit.   At one point US 131 shut down in both directions just North of Kalamazoo.

To top things off, an accident on I-94 Eastbound just before Sprinkle Rd was backing up traffic beyond Portage Rd.  That's where I filmed the vine below.  As I pull up to the accident I remind myself how much better off I am stuck in traffic than the poor souls involved in the accidents.  I hope everyone made it to their destination safely.
