From reports earlier they said this has never happened in their memory where the entire freeway was shut down and a standoff last this long.
nah, they have had stuff like this before...remember the guy that stole the bus and closed the I-5/91 Interchange
A couple of years ago a guy wouldn't leave his van after a chase. I think it was on the 10 in San Gabriel valley. I remember it was a friday night. They shut down the freeway that night as well. People were pissed.
At least now Caltrans can get out there with some asphalt and fill in those holes on the 10 before it reopens.
Maybe not in lA but it did happen here in San Diego not too long ago. The woman was nuts, obviously, and the fwy was shut down for hours.
