| Hundreds stranded on PA interstate system waiting for help |
| 2007-02-16 |
HAMBURG, Pa. - National Guardsmen in Humvees ferried food, fuel and baby supplies Thursday to hundreds of motorists stranded on a 50-mile stretch of highway for nearly a day by a monster storm. Drivers were frustrated they were let on the road at all. State police did not close all the entrance ramps to I-78 until around 5 p.m., more than 24 hours after vehicles starting getting caught.
Apparently the National Guard has already gone home. It's not clear whether all the motorists involve are out of danger. This was an exceptional screw-up even for the distinguished PA highway system. This weather system was predicted days ahead of time and very accurately. |
