I never take the 101 for exactly this reason. At 4:30 this morning, a drunk driver ran into a gasoline tanker, causing it to partially overturn and spill on the freeway on the Westbound side at Chesebro. The entire freeway has been shut down since then. Anyone who is familiar with this area knows that any sort of disturbance on the 101 between Woodland Hills and Thousand Oaks wreaks havoc on all the other routes through the valley. For instance, on the 118, which is the freeway I take in to work. A nice way to start the day.
