The Crazy Lady That Drove Through The Construction Zone
This is the Mojo in the Morning podcast, powered by Michigan Auto Law, Auto Accident Attorneys. Visit autolaw.com. That's autolaw.com. Mojo the morning show. Megan witnessed something yesterday when she was driving in traffic that she wants to call out right now. What was going on, Megan? Oh, my God. This was amazingly scary. So I was on, is this how field highway is that? Southfield Freeway. Freeway. I practiced this this morning. M39, Southfield Freeway, is closed from the Ford Road to, I don't know. It's funny you said that there was so much construction on that road. Oh, it's awful. I feel bad for anybody who has to take that every day because I was losing my mind. I was losing my mind, but not as bad as the one woman who couldn't tell if the exit that we were all trying to take was open or not because it was kind of past a curve. You saw the signs like it's coming up in a quarter mile. It's so confusing. Right. I know exactly what you're talking about. Yeah. I saw this car and we were driving maybe, if I had to guess like 45, 50 miles an hour or so, like we're slower than normal traffic, but it's not like 10 miles an hour, like we're moving a little bit, right? And I just see this car swerve in between the construction barrels and on to the completely torn up right lane and they're just driving and gravel and they're driving fast and they are in the construction zone. And I could do nothing but just let my jaw drop at this point. I was shocked that anybody had the audacity to drive into a blinded curved lane that was torn out, that was blocked off for construction workers. Like this lady was absolutely psychotic, but I saw the best moment ever. So when we kind of hit the curve, the exit is in fact open and she like bolts through another row of barrels to get back on to the exit, the actual paved road, but there was like a three or four inch gap where the road was torn up. And so you just see this woman's car go absolutely in the air and I'm like, I wish you nothing but broken axles killed somebody. How dare you? Can I give her just a little bit of a reprieve on this one? I cannot tell you there are so many construction issues out on the roads yesterday I was driving to go to the airport towards the airport area and I cannot tell you it's more confusing to figure out what roads and lanes are closed and which ones aren't especially when you're following your ways or Google maps or whatever like it will show you like that. It's crazy. Okay. So I take 696 big highway here in the Detroit area into work and it is under construction the entire way that I come. I told Zach this morning, I don't know how the exit to get off for the radio station is kind of weird right now. It's like a detour funky exit. It's all construction barrels. I actually missed it because it's just like it's so confusing how they have it. I had to go all the way around. It's going to work. By the way, eight four four mojo live four four six six five six five four eight if anybody's ever driven the wrong way or went through the wrong area and here's Megan on the Southfield freeway. The lady completely went through an area that wasn't even a road airborne and yeah, but if you've ever had that happen to you and I feel like you know summer time is not summer time here. It's not it's not summer season. It's construction season. But that is it's crazy. It's scary you know when you're driving and you're trying to figure out if you're on the road or not on the road. Text 95500 my guy look at this text right off the bat. I live right off of the Southfield. I see people all the time that are doing this Megan. This is like common practice. Yeah. This is trucker Kenny. Where's trucker Kenny at? He didn't pick up his phone. We tried to call him up. He said I see people railing the barrels every day just before 94 because they always switch out of the pattern and the lane is open. It's it's crazy. Yeah, I think the worst is I think the worst is when the lanes are so tight to and I know that they make those lanes big enough to at least like a semi truck can go by. I don't know if I can get by in my car. I know that's a fact another text message here. This ain't just in your area. This happens in West Michigan too in Grand Rapids. It is horrible to be able to drive nowadays with all the construction that we got going on. Thanks to an SNX listener for that. What's up Wednesday? What are you doing? Hi. Good. How are you? Good. What's going on? We're talking about the crazy. I don't even know if that like I've been drove on 75 to herself for a while now, but you look. It's the Utica active that's M 59 getting on that ramp or getting off that ramp and then there's like people coming on to that ramp. It's the serious thing ever. I've never seen so many accidents. Yeah. I mean the the ramps are nuts enough where it's almost like you feel like you're not even on the right ramp, right? Exactly. So the 59 ramp, I hope that they fix it like I never seen construction, but like so many people have been in accidents right there. I don't know if I don't know if you've ever driven it all like towards Ann Arborish area. There's a ramp from M 14 to get on to 275 where I feel like I'm about to get on the wrong ramp and get on the off ramp. What's happening? Oh, this is Kenny who was Kenny. Did you witness the lady on Southfield freeway yesterday? No, so we're we're 94 in Southfield. Me if you're going up Southfield, the 94, they've got the right to lane shut down and then some days they'll have the third lane to the left shut down. And I remember the one morning, another some I was coming through there and they only have it shut down to like 15, 20 feet before it opens up for you to get off for 94 and there was a truck driver. They would not let him over and he finally just said at that and while through all the barrels and took them all out and just a certain follow them. Wow. Yeah. It's so dangerous. Ariane. What's up? Hello. Hi. Oh my God. I can't remember any. You're on the radio. Oh, first time listening to her first time. Yeah. Welcome. I'm sorry. Can I have a shout out my boyfriend? He loves you guys. And he's also listening right now. Sure. Go off. Hi Logan. It's Ari. Hi to him. He loves you. What's up Logan? Good. Good. Logan. What's going on? I can't believe this. Um, one time when I was 17, I believe it was on Southfield freeway highway, whatever it was. Um, I was on my way to my hair appointment and I was going to be late and there was construction in one lane and backed up in the other two lanes. So I kind of just tore it through the cones and drove down so I got close to my exit. Ariane. I didn't want to be late to my hair for me. Those are very important. Yeah. Crazy. Uh, Josh, what's up? How you doing, Mo, Joey? Good buddy. Well, I'm listening first time. Yeah. Josh. What's up, Josh? How you doing? So yeah, I'll say she's telling Megan and that, yeah, this is coming practice when I'm starting out for the drive that crazy because I've seen people drive on the gravel. Except this time, um, like yesterday, I think it was somebody in a large pickup truck with those really wide tires and it's really lifted up and they like to just drive on, you know, because they think it could just, you know, fly through anything. But yeah, I was at a blonde and a white truck. Yes. So pick up those really wide tires and they think they could just go over anything. Dude. Yes, they can. Thank you. If you have extended mirrors on your truck and two sets of back tires, we got a problem and I don't even know you. Thanks for the call, buddy.
