Tuesday a gnarly truck accident backed up westbound traffic for miles and miles and miles. Every media outlet reported on this:

So it was a little surprising to see this “drive shot” report from Natalie Brunell who was “hoping to show you the scene of the crash” but instead got stuck in traffic.
D’oh! If only someone in the news business had warned her about the traffic!
