This one has been there for about 20 minutes and it's still blocking two lanes at Carlson Pkwy. A motorist spun out and slammed into the concrete median. Traffic is stacked up at I-394.

Look for a pocket of bumper to bumper traffic on eastbound 94 approaching Hwy. 19 in Albertville. Things thin out once you cross over the Crow River and flow nicely into the city.

Drive times are rising on southbound 35W from Blaine to downtown Minneapolis. That ride is now at 26 minutes.
