Detroit MVC Vernor at I96 Service Rd 8/6/21

On our last night out, the radio was very quiet.  We sat at I94 & Livernois with one radio on Detroit and one scanning the CB channels, as the Canadian Border Patrol, upset about stalled contract negotiations, had instituted a work action.  All trucks heading into Canada were subject to a "by the book" inspection.  This resulted in major backups on all highways in Detroit as truckers had to wait 8-10 hours to make the crossing.  The CB traffic was hilarious.

While watching and listening, Detroit stilled out companies for a motor vehicle collision at Vernor Highway and the I96 Service Rd.  I really didn't pay much attention until an update included information that a bus was involved and the bus was reportedly into a building.  By surface roads, it was a 6 minute ride.

We returned to Livernois and I94, but nothing else came in.  This photo is from the Livernois Ave overpass looking east on I94 at about 2330 hrs.  This is 6-7 miles from the Ambassador Bridge.
   

All in all, it was a good trip.  I got to see two Red Sox/Tigers games and caught some pretty good jobs to shoot.  More importantly, I got to spend time with a friend that I've known for almost 40 years, but due to our schedules we don't get to see each other much.

Excellent shots of all the jobs! Glad you had fun.
