http://www.local6.com/news/9803862/detail.htmlThousands of motorists in Honolulu were stranded in their vehicles for 14-hours after a military vehicle clipped a pedestrian bridge near a major freeway overpass, forcing officials to close the road, according to a Local 6 News report.
Officials said the traffic jam caused by the incident in the westbound lanes of the H-1 Freeway in Honolulu was the worst in Hawaii's history.
Many commuters slept in their cars overnight or just abandoned them on the freeway.
Cars were videotaped on the side of the road after overheating or running out of gas.
State engineers worked through the night to get the freeway back open. To take down the unstable bridge, crews had to chip away tons of concrete and metal.
