I decided to take the freeway home. At the signal, I could see the cars were back up all the way onto Laurel Canyon. Thankfully, there was no one behind me, so I waited until I had a clear move and got the HELL out of that lane and took Riverside home. When I got to Coldwater Canyon, a mile away, I could see the freeway was completely at a standstill - must have been an accident. When I turned onto Woodman I could see it was clear, so the accident had to have been somewhere just after Coldwater and before Woodman.
