Today was not a good day for commuting. First, there was the power outage that messed with the trains. Then – a tractor trailer crashed on the westbound side of BQE near Union Street, and caught on fire around noon. Three individuals, including one firefighter, were injured.
Result – crazy gridlock all day everywhere.
