It had just been few minutes since the trailer had swerved to avoid hitting a car from the opposite side and then eventually become stuck due to the load. But the traffic pile-up had begun.
Being one of the main roads in the city, almost everyone had to take it every morning for work. And now with a trailer blocking the entire road, people were stuck in either direction.
Inside the trailer –
“We need to move to the side some way or another.”
“I have called the police for help.”
“I hope they get here before all hell breaks loose.”

No doubt some angry motorists will have a few choice words to share with them!
transitionofthoughts
They had already begun. And that’s why it was a race against time to clear up.

If they are inside my suggestion would be to brew up some coffee and snacks and start serving the pile up.

They should be nervous. Commuters can get quite hostile in their attempt to get to work.
transitionofthoughts
Oh they definitely do. With each passing minute, things are slowly getting heated up.

Looks like what could be called a predicament. Difficult to stay calm in it.
transitionofthoughts
Yes was quite a challenge to stay calm.
