When I was returning from a docket, I was entering Big Derrty from the south, northbound on I-55. By Ballas, the hwy is wide open across a 2 mile valley. In the fast lane, there had been an accident, and there were numerous police on scene. A full-size Fire Department pumper parked sideways blocking the two leftmost lanes, and there were 2-3 police cars parked in front of it. All had their lights on. There were 10+ EMS personnel milling about the accident and in the median. Naturally, traffic funneled into the rightmost lane. Then I notice out the corner of my eye, a pickup flying by in the fast lane, the driver chatting with the passenger. Evidently he didn't see the situation, as he plowed into the squad cars at 70mph.
