This next picture shows one of the lesser damaged cars from the accident. This guy "may" have been the cause of the major accident behind him as I "think" he rear-ended someone, and others started piling into each other behind him when they couldn't stop.
This next picture shows the resulting traffic jam BEHIND the accident. There must have been 10 miles of stopped cars AND there were two more accidents where it appeared people couldn't stop and therefore caused another accident. Crazy....
This next picture is perhaps the freakiest picture I've ever taken. I was in extremely slow traffic and I noticed that traffic in the Southbound lanes were just starting to catch up to all the stopped traffic (from the accident). I heard tires squealing as other people were going too fast and had to stop fast to avoid hitting the stopping traffic...so I just grabbed my camera and started clicking pictures of the traffic. I actually caught two cars a split second befor they crashed. The lighter colored SUV was almost stopped when the dark car slammed on its brakes to "try" and stop. He didn't stop in time. If you look at the driver of the 2nd car, you'll see his head is forward as he is sliding JUST a split second before he crashes into the SUV. I was hoping I'd be able to get an after picture but I didn't want to cause any accident on our side of traffic by suddenly slowing down. I hope they were OK, but it sure didn't sound good as it happened.
After the stop and go traffic for other accidents, I decided it was time to stop...so I spent the night at the Submarine Base in Groton, CT. I was hoping to go to the Submarine museum but it was closed on Tuesdays, so I finished driving to Boston on Tuesday.
