Tide Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Ten worst traffic incidents of 2006 Filed under: Etc., Safety http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2006/12/big_dig_death.jpg As is typical this time of December, the "of the Year" lists are piling up in our feed reader. Most of them are dispatched before we get past the first few syllables, but a few seem to grab our attention. This top ten list deserved mention, as it outlined the worst traffic incidents recorded by the traffic monitoring geeks at Metro Networks, owned by communications leviathan, Westwood One. Although the press release doesn't outline how it came to conclude that these particular roadway upsets were the worst, judging by the descriptions, we're hardly going to argue. Some of the highlights lowlights include a Tomahawk missile finding its way onto I-95 in New York City, after the tractor-trailer transporting the munitions overturned, a meatpacking truck in the Bay Area dumping thousands of pounds of bovine pieces across the freeway and the 12-ton concrete panel (pictured) that dropped from the ceiling of a tunnel in Boston's notorious "Big Dig," tragically taking the life of a woman driving down the Massachusetts Turnpike. A brief description of each of the ten worst incidents, pulled from Westwood One's press release, can be found below the fold.Continue reading Ten worst traffic incidents of 2006 Permalink | Email this | Comments BOLD MOVES: THE FUTURE OF FORD A new documentary series.
