2019 Exodus, Traffic, Stories...

[Canoe]

3:32 pm If you’re leaving @burningman, make sure you’re sober. This driver almost struck 3 Troopers head on while attempting to pass numerous vehicles. He was subsequently arrested for DUI. If you feel impaired, don’t drive.

5:23 pm NDOT reports that there is an accident with injury north of Nixon on SR 447. That will almost surely have an impact on travel through this area.

6:22 pm TRAFFIC ADVISORY: SR-447 at Washoe MM 22 is closed in both directions due to an injury crash. One being transported via CareFlight. Please be patient while we investigate.

6:42 PM UPDATE: One lane slowly getting by. There’s approximately 10 miles of traffic backed up. Thank you for your patience. @bmantraffic
