[Scan-DC] Interstate 81 SB shut down

[Andrew Clegg]

Here's an article on the crash. Three dead. The interstate wasn't fully 
opened until 3:30 this afternoon. The Tom's Brook exit is the one I take to 
get out to my house. That stretch of I-81 is not particularly dangerous, but 
apparently there was a patch of dense fog that precipitated the accident. 
This is one example of a crash that in the future will be prevented by the 
widespread use of the new vehicular radars that can warn drivers of slowed 
or stopped vehicles in front of you. Most of the radars work at 24 or 76 
GHz, and propagate just fine in fog.
