A call over the police scanner: "A caller just saw a van fly off the road east of 494." That just happened on westbound 94 near 494. It's been the story all morning.

The drive on westbound 94 in the Midway to downtown Minneapolis is clogged. A crash at Hiawatha earliler led to congestion and things have not shaken loose.

Word from the State Patrol is that the crash on the ramp from Hwy. 280 to westbound 94 is a fatal. The ramp remains open, but things are very slow on Hwy. 280.

A new crash resides on the right shoulder of eastbound 694 at Silver Lake Road.
