Bad wreck on 331 - beware
there has been a serious accident on the 331 causeway this evening (Saturday 6/24). Please avoid that area tonight if possible...whole lotta southbound (and northbound) traffic backed up. If you have friends or family on the way down, may want to contact them and advise them to take an alternate route tonight.
FHP traffic incident site confirms one fatality; hub is about to go on duty and called substation and was advised three fatalities. I am hoping he misunderstood.
Please, lets all be careful -

So that could be why traffic was backing up more than usual during the evening on the Mid Bay Bridge. Usually it seems like the Saturday traffic there starts to calm down around dinner time.
Crazy day out there today. There was also a motorcycle wreck on FL 20 in Seminole by that no-name gas station that tends to have gas when no one else does because a lot of people forget it's there. That one looked painful but non-fatal from what we could see of it.

We saw all the lights and heard sirens from the bay. Then we saw two med choppers fly over so we knew it was bad. So sad.

It is so sad..I tried to get to the Walton Sun, but I think they are having issues. I have a subscription, but it is messed up today. I am going to keep trying.

Re: Bad wreck on 331 - beware
Jeez, I must have missed this wreck narrowly. I was going north at 4:45PM. I must say, there were sooo many people southbound on 331 when I was going north. Most looked to be heading down for vacation. It was so heavy, the exit ramps on I-10 at 331 were congested! I know after I spend 4 hours in a car getting to SOWAL I get excited too, but this is a good lesson to stay focused until you pull into your accomodations!
