An incident

While walking around town during my lunchbreak one day, I noticed a considerable traffic-jam had formed. Climbing one of the pedestrian bridges that span the network of roads affected, I discovered some sort of incident had occurred. Multiple police vehicles were present as well as an ambulance and a paramedic car.

Incident

While I could see a couple of civilian vehicles where the ambulance was, there was no obvious sign of any serious collision and no debris was visible on the road, so I have no idea what had happened to merit the presence of so many emergency service personnel, or the significant hold up of other traffic.

Hot days and gridlock

It’s a bit of a hot day here in the UK today – with temperatures where I live nudging past 30 degrees. That’s not very high compared with other parts of the planet, but it’s high for me and the only consolation is that the humidity isn’t too bad. The forecast is for cooler weather through the rest of the working week, but then it’s predicted that it could soar to potentially record-breaking highs again next weekend.

I hope I’m not stuck in traffic…
