The freeway wasn’t closed. It was being blocked by random cars and stupid people. “Closed “ means highway patrol with lights flashing, orange traffic cones, large signs flashing warning of change/detour/danger ahead. Stupid people in the middle of the road brought this on themselves. I’m sad for the driver involved, and even sadder that stupidity kills.
Exactly. The road wasn’t closed. The morons were blocking traffic. Nice job by the AP of using communist disinformation tactics in the reporting. The devil is in the details and they know it.
The police did have the freeway closed both ways. Onramps were blocked. The driver entered the freeway by an offramp.
