I drove back to LAS the Sunday of President's Day Weekend. Unfortunately, I got stuck < 1 mile from the fatal accident while driving northbound on I-15. We were parked on the 15 for 1.5 hours. People were walking around the freeway while the CHP-biplane above yelled at us to get back into our vehicles. I barely made it to work on-time as my 5:15 drive from Santa Barbara turned into a 7.5 hour ordeal
