The smooth commute continues due to lighter than normal traffic levels. Most places are sailing along at or near the posted speeds. But, we do have a couple exceptions.

A First unit is assisting a motorist on the northbound lanes of the Bloomington Ferry Bridge. It's on the right so drivers are moving over to the left as they pass by on northbound Hwy. 169.

It's a stalled vehicle that is causing traffic to bunch up on the eastbound Crosstown near Cedar Avenue.

Authorities are headed to 194th Lane and Bunker Lake Blvd. to deal with a rollover accident with injuries.
