“Florida, Interrupted” by Laura Roberts

Submitted to Contest #23

It just figures. As soon as we get on the road headed south, there's a big mess on the freeway. A couple of tractor trailers managed to jackknife on the highway, causing a huge crash and blocking off traffic on the only route out of this frozen wasteland of a city. Awesome. Great work, truckers. How does someone jackknife a semi, anyway? What, exactly, does it take to qualify as "jackknifing"?I ask Dr. Google, and he informs me that many accidents such as this one occur because of improper brake maintenance or adjustment...
