Hit the road a half hour after sunrise. Lots of bumper to bumper traffic getting to Atlanta. Once I got the the beltway traffic got back up to speed again. Just south of Atlanta on I-75 passed a bad crash. Fortunately it was on the other side. The Interstate was shut down. Before I got to it 3 ambulances went by heading to the hospital. All with lights and siren on. There was stuff scattered all over the highway from the SUV that rolled over multiple times landing upright in the grass off the road. There was another car with damage next to the median guard rail. There was about six fire trucks, a dozen cops, a roll back wrecker, and lots of people watching. Glad it was on the other side. Our side was backed up from all the rubber necking. The other side was at a stand still for four miles. Farther down the interstate they had closed the interstate and were diverting traffic off at the exit. That back up was two miles. So glad I was going the other way. Other than that, the rest of the day was uneventful. Stopped for the night at the Pilot truck stop in Kingsland, Georgia. My Florida pilot escort car will meet me here in the morning.
Just found out more info on the crash I passed. 9 people ejected during the roll over. 7 were kids. One fatality.
