So there I was, lazily driving 80 mph (Miles Per Hour) or so on the Florida Turnpike [1] about a mile north of a service plaza (where I was planning on stopping) when I heard a siren. I looked up into the rear view mirror and right there, just inches behind me, were the dreaded flashing red and blue lights.
XXXX!
I start to pull over and the cop flies past me down the Turnpike.
What the …
While in the service plaza Spring [2] and I spot more emergency vehicles flying southward down the Turnpike.
Later, as we're passing Yeehaw Junction [3] the off ramp is a parking lot; the overpass is yet another parking lot and just past the toll booths is a sea of flashing lights. Not entirely sure what happened there, but what ever happened, it was pretty bad.
