Those cable median barriers came in handy this morning. A motorist lost control and got tangled in the wire, which prevented the car from crossing into oncoming traffic. This happened at Cedar Avenue near 127th Street in Apple Valley.

The result is that the left lane on the northbound side is closed and traffic is stacked up beyond County Road 38.
