On Tuesday morning, a traffic jam on I-95 in Virginia, had been impacting drivers for the better part of 24 hours. One of those drivers was NBC News’ Josh Lederman, who called into MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” to describe what it was like to be stuck in his car for 10 hours.
“This has been a pretty insane and fairly dystopian experience. I was headed back to D.C. last night. GPS said I’d get back around 5:15. At about 7:15, with several delays, it was looking pretty bad on the roads and by 7:30 we were just at a standstill and have been at a standstill ever since,” the correspondent said, adding he could see “thousands” of cars from his vantage point.
