Jumping on the top comment; I work for an area fire department.

At 5:30 this morning there was a car accident reported at mile 17 southbound. Vehicle rollover, with injury and entrapment.

While Yarmouth Fire and Police were responding and looking for the rolled over vehicle, they came across another multi-vehicle crash in the northbound lane.

Given the area of both crashes, on the 295 / Rt 1 overpass, where the road goes over and around a blind curve, and the black ice that was causing the accidents, the Yarmouth PD requested that DOT shut the interstate down between 15 and 20 so they could safely clear the crashes.

At 7:00 there was another crash reported on the interstate, southbound, mile 16.

And at 7:30 there was another multi- vehicle crash reported at Mile 17 northbound.

All that to say, sorry your morning commute was disrupted for this one morning, but respectfully go pound sand.

Totally understand this. I was worried it was a bad accident until I got up to the construction work happening. I know there were accidents on 295 but I don't believe they contributed to this backup. I hit it at about 8:15am. If they did, I'll be over here pounding this sand.

You are conveniently close to the Desert of Maine, that is if you’re looking for sand to pound. As someone who’s pounded many sands in my life, Desert of Maine sand was very nice sand to pound.

That ain't fair. Just because unavoidable things happen, people can't complain about totally avoidable things happening? No.

It's a joke playing into the joke from the post from an old webtoon called Homestar Runner. You obviously didn't get it. Half a second of research would have shown you your entire rant was unwarranted. Go pound sand yourself.
