Accident Along I-75

While heading north at lunch time I was stuck in a whole bunch of traffic on I-75. From the burnt out flares and the use of construction employees to narrow lanes of traffic I figured that the accident had been there for a while.

What you see above is all I could see of the accident. I think it was a Chevy Malibu MAXX in a dark grey/silver color, but it was crushed / torn up enough that I couldn’t quite tell.

Beyond the damaged body pieces and broken out windows the passenger compartment didn’t look particularly crushed, so hopefully the occupant was okay. If there were side curtain airbags and they had their seatbelt on, I imagine they might be… Hopefully they are…

    This looks similar to the accident I saw. I was going south on 75 at about 8:50am when I saw a car flipped over and basically sitting in the woods upside down. Police and all that were there. And so was a CVS roadside assistance vehicle, for some reason…

    I was there just a little while after you. The state police were investiating when I passed at 12:30.

    it is very possible to survive such an accident without any airbags deployed. so chances are high that they are mostly ok.
