This stranded motorist in the left lane on westbound 494 at Portland Avenue is causing a nice traffic jam in Bloomington. Traffic bogs down at 24th Avenue and is heavy past the scene.

Westbound 94 drivers are getting held up by a crash at White Bear Avenue. That might have just moved back to the ramp, but look for brake lights to come on at Century Avenue. Ahead, the normal crush is in place from Hwy. 61 to 35E.
