caltrans2.jpgWow, those state employee furloughs are really taking their toll, just take a look at this California Highway Patrol log detailing an accident from earlier today:


1:53PM 82-S6 REQ SIGALERT FOR UNK DURATION - #4 LN AND FLORENCE OFR CLOSED DUE TO FUEL SPILL AND TRYING TO LOCATE A NON-FURLOUGHED CALTRANS CREW

 

Earlier logs show CHP attempting to get LA County fire hazmat crews to clean it up, but it was beyond their capacity:


1:49PM 82-72 - ADVS 82-S6 THAT LACOFD ADVSING THE SCOPE OF THE SPILL IS BEYOND LACOFD ABILITY TO HANDLE - WILL NEED CALTRANS - 82-S6 COPIES
1:41PM THIS CREW IS ON FURLOUGH WILL FIRE BE ABLE TO HANDLE?
1:38PM 82-72 ADVSING LACOFD ADVSING THAT THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUT IN #4 LN - OIL HAS HIT THE STORM DRAIN - LACOFD IS RESPONDING THEIR HAZMAT TEAM
1:34PM 82-72 ADVSING SPILL IN #4 LN FM S/O CLARA TO FLORENCE - WILL BEEN TO BE CONED OFF FOR CLEAN UP

Well of course the freeways don't just take care of themselves.......but apparently, Cal Trans doesn't do a very good job of taking care of them either.
