The Ramp of Doom Returns!

Usual spot at the SB 405 – NB 133 interchange, just after the ramp on the 133’s bridge over the 405. Three cars, including a Jeep that looked OK from behind, a car in front of it that had completely flipped over, and another car in front of that one that I couldn’t see very clearly, because I was watching the guy standing out in front waving his hands to make sure people slowed down and didn’t plow into the scene. It had clearly just happened, since neither police nor ambulance had arrived.

At least I hope that’s why he was waving his hands. It certainly looked more like “Hey, watch out!” than “Please, stop and help!” Damn, I didn’t even think of that until just now.

    1. Thanks. I’m mostly sure they weren’t asking for help. I’m trying to remember the scene and whether the guy was holding his hands out in front or waving them above his head and I think they were out front.

      Anyway, there’s nothing to do about it now.

    1. Well, it seems to be seasonal. This is the first accident I’ve seen there since April. I don’t think Caltrans is operating on the “It never rains in Southern California” principle, but I once talked with someone who worked in the LA division of Caltrans, and apparently the OC division was widely regarded within Caltrans itself as being extremely messed up.
