710: Problems ahead
A stretch of the Long Beach (710) Freeway will be closed this weekend for filming, Caltrans announced today. All southbound lanes of the 710 will be closed between Valley Boulevard and the San Bernardino (10) Freeway from 10 tonight until 5 a.m. Monday. The northbound 710 will be closed between the 10 freeway and Valley Boulevard from 9 p.m. until 6 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. (CNS)
Sunday morning there was a real accident caused by drivers who were shocked and distracted by the staged crash on the 710 south. We were taken back from seeing the crash on the South side and then seeing a real accident take place on the North side. We had just enough time to drive around all the debri. I'm surprised they didn't have caution signs after the crash, or warning of a filming.

Oh My God!! I wish Cal Trans or someone would have informed northbound drivers that this was a movie shoot. We came upon this horrific "accident" with burned-out cars and a tractor-trailer truck on end Sunday afternoon. Our kids were mortified. It did seem a bit "surreal" - like a "staged-accident", but I wish someone could have informed drivers that what we were seeing wasn't real.
