Bad Start to a Holiday Weekend

I knew things were gonna suck when I saw the helicopter just up ahead in its landing spiral over I-10 a half mile north of the Rita Road exit. Apparently it was a MedEvac dust-off for an auto accident.  The cops and paramedics must have gotten there rather quickly because I wasn't that far from the commotion by the time traffic slowed to a dead stop.

Hurray for eye candy!   The pretty redhead in the blue car later decided to hang a U-Turn on the median cross-over strip just ahead.

I hope the accident victim(s) in the crunched up car (right) survived.

Your intrepid traffic reporter signing off.  Have a good holiday!
