I drive in that area every day. The roads are too congested, are in terrible condition, and there are too many crazy drivers, plus zero police. It is a wonder there are not a lot more accidents.

Sorry anyone was hurt, but those tight convoy groups of vehicles we often see here weaving through traffic are inherently dangerous and most times totally unnecessary. Hope the injured have a quick and complete recovery.
