Waze is routing everyone through Deep Ellum surface streets now. Good luck finding parking if you work down there.

I could see the wreck from the Haskell overpass. At least one car is flipped on its roof. Scary stuff.

Been sitting in this for 45 minutes. Havent moved an inch. Pack snacks in your car, people.

This stretch of I-30 needs a redesign. The merge pattern at Haskell creates accidents constantly.
