Motorists Forced To Sleep In Cars During 14-Hour Traffic Jam

Thousands 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.

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.

The Army issued an official apology to the people of Oahu for causing the traffic mess.
