I left Valencia CA, Magic Mountain, at 2:45 PM yesterday. Traffic was pretty bad even though I took 210 detour to avoid traffic I got to Cabazon near the fire at 6:20. I didn't hear any road blockage from Sirius radio.

At 9:40 pm while on our way to La Quinta I was doing 80 mi/hr there was a crazy pickup truck driver making a U-turn on the freeway right in front of me. He stuck his nose and I veered of just by few inches. Without my evasive move I am certain that my X would have made few spins and there would have been massive freeway pile up. Very close call.
