Never a good sign when you're stuck in traffic and you see the news copters hovering

WCVB reports Rte. 495 southbound was completely shut down in Bellingham at lunchtime due to a double rollover accident that sent a mother, her two children and a driver to the hospital. Smartraveler reported the accident happened by the Rte. 126 interchange.

Among those stuck in the resulting backup was local blogger C.C. Chapman, who, with nothing else to do, tweeted the action:

First chopper just left. Still one more. 495 south in Franklin area.

Things like this just a reminder of how fragile life is. Always hug your loved ones every goodbye.
