Gateway Traffic Chaos at 3pm on Friday 13th

Why is it people insist on stopping and gawking at an accident even when it is on the other side of the road?
This accident backed up traffic across the Gateway Bridge northbound all the way to the toll plaza and beyond at 3pm when the accident was actually only affecting south bound traffic. It was the rubber neckers that caused the road problems not the accident

So much for the SOI indicating a reduced rainfall and possible re-establishment of a drought pattern! Go the ECL!!
