I passed both…. First one saw an engine block in the road and a crunched up bmw. Second one was more jarring as I swore I saw the body in the road with a sheet over it…. My commute was 3 1/2 hours this am.

Besides the tragic loss of life, was not surprised to see more important people speeding along the shoulder to “pass” the traffic. Some emergency vehicles we’re blocked briefly by the stupidity…

That’s horrible. I can’t imagine seeing the aftermath. By the time I was on the GSP, the State Troopers already blocked off the road at 155. I ended up turning off on 153 and going local to my job. My commute was 2 hours. I read about what happened online later and was shocked.

I would never do it, but sometimes I fantasize of tossing some roofing nails out into the shoulder as I see them coming up. An old biker friend taught me that trick. Same with people barreling past on the shoulder because they can't slip in at the last second out of the exit lanes on 80W in Paterson. Intentionally selfish and dangerous moves like that should really be grounds for a suspension.
