Logic dictated that there must have been a bad accident there which had closed down the highway altogether in that direction. A few minutes later and we watched a snow plow make a path for the ambulance on the Reno-bound side of the highway. Whoever had been hurt was now headed for the hospital. We were grateful for that. More calls home.<br /><br />Of course I cannot indict myself in this article, so the accident I was involved in was someone else's fault! As I was driving straight through a green light on a city road (which one would think could never cause a problem), a driver coming in the opposite direction failed to yield for me before making his left turn.
