Fairly major accident in Atlanta...

Yeah, I was watching some of the video of this bad accident on I-85 yesterday afternoon. A tractor trailer was off to the side in a raging fire, with the flames spreading off of the interstate. A little white car off to the side eventually caught fire and burned up. It wasn't even clear if this car had simply been abandoned on the emergency shoulder or was a part of the accident (although it is now!). A van was a little smashed up and sitting in the middle of the lanes. Another car with damage was ahead of the main accident area.

I have little doubt that this accident was caused by some asshole VIP who could not be bothered to drive sensibly and properly on the highway. Almost all problems on the streets are caused by some jerk who is simply too important or stupid to do the right thing.
