I made it to Birmingham, Alabama, finally!
I fly into Atlanta and drove to Birmingham. It's about 150 miles away. Everything was going good. I took Interstate Highway 20 west and it went from 2 lanes into one.
So, there's a 5 mile back up! Whatever. I'm about a half mile from freedom and I hear a loud noise. I just catch a brown ford explore doing about 90 miles an hour on the shoulder. I knew this wasn't good, since he was heading into the construction area!
About 30 seconds later I see the trooper on the shoulder following him and you know the rest. The guy hits the back of the an 18 wheeler! He got helicoptered out. I waited 3 freaking hours before we could clear the wreck.
On the good side, I met some nice people on the highway as we all got out of our cars to talk. As the Copter pulled out and they opened the road. A major thunderstorm came with hail. I made it here. There's a ton of people here for the race and I'll check back in!
That is All for tonight!
