Fiery Crash Collapses California Freeway

Yeah, I'm guessing it will be a while before I get a seat on BART again. Good thing I'm not on my old commute anymore because my bus used that bit of road and there are no good alternatives.

What I like best about the story is that the driver walked away, called a cab, and got himself to the hospital. What I want to know is how the hell you get a cab driver to pick you up in West Oakland at 4 in the morning with a giant fireball in the background.

Thank goodness the drivers survived, but poor guys. Second degree burns are probably more painful than death. I wish them a low-pain recovery filled with morphine and vicoden.

Good luck to commuters.

One thing I"ve been wondering is:

Can the state (or the fed; who pays for an interstate repair like this?) sue the driver's insurance coverage?
