Our brief burst of crashes and problems have subsided for the moment, and that is allowing traffic to regain some momentum. That's the case on southbound Hwy. 100 where a crash at Hwy. 7 cleared a bit ago. Traffic still is sluggish in spots from 36th Avenue in Robbinsdale down to Execlsior Blvd.

The major snag on the system at the moment is a car fire and rescue on the right shoulder of westbound Hwy. 10 at Egret Blvd. Traffic comes to a halt at Foley Blvd. Eastbound slows a tad in the same area.
