The accident response in this area never ceases to amaze me. Going 495-S last night something was going on at the exit ramp for Gallows Rd. The two right lanes were almost completely stopped and cars were dangerously merging into fast moving traffic in the left lanes. I had to stay in the right lane waiting to get onto gallows. After waiting about 10 minutes less than 1000 feet from the gallows exit a fire truck an ambulance and two more police cars passed me to join the party. I was expecting to see some sort of catastrophic mangled mass of metal, but instead saw only a single un-damaged Camry stopped in the exit lane and about 8 emergency vehicles spilling onto 495. Anyone know what the deal was? I assume medical emergency. If so why not have someone hop into the Camry driver seat and drive the extra 1/8 of a mile to the emergency room located within shouting distance of the incident? I know it's fun for these cowboys to circle their wagons and break out all the cool tools to be roadside heroes, but is this really the best course of action? This isn't the first time I've seen them cone off even a simple rear-end collision and wreak havoc on traffic so they can play hero.

That would make sense.

Infuriating. Exactly why I never take 495.

Well we wouldn't have to play "hero" if you and the rest of the mentally retarded fuck bags in this county wouldn't use 911 like your personal taxi service. We wouldn't have to put half a million dollar equipment onto the interstates because someone needs their hand held for something fucking stupid. So instead of bitching about the "hero's," why don't you bitch about the idiot that decided to pull off the beltway for something stupid or hit someone else because they had to send that text message and then all of a sudden developed insurance-itis. And some day you will pick up that phone and need that hero so might want to rethink what you say.
