8:10 a.m. update: Improving on Hwy. 212 and Hwy. 100

A pair of crashes on eastbound Hwy. 212 have cleared and traffic is starting to shake loose from Hwy. 101 over to I-494. That was gridlock due to earlier wrecks at Wallace Road and Prairie Center Drive.

On southbound Hwy. 100, a motorcycle crash at 57th Avenue has two lanes blocked and delays coming down from 694. Traffic is getting by on the right shoulder. Ahead, two crashes at Hwy. 55 and 394 have cleared, so once you get by this mishap you'll have clear sailing.

A fresh crash on the right shoulder of eastbound 694 at Long Lake Road is causing a minor bunch up from Central Avenue past the scene.

Look out for a fender bender on eastbound 494 at France Avenue in Bloomington.

The Drive will keep you up to speed with the latest on Twin Cities commuting.

What's your excuse? Minnesota cops hear lots from texting drivers

Drivers on their phones trading stocks, using iPads to change passwords and cleverly using a key fob as a remote to play the popular reality game Pokémon Go while rolling down the road. Law enforcement saw it all Monday, the first day of a statewide crackdown on distracted driving, which runs through April 22.
