Tyler is this the big accident they were talking about on the CBC this morning? Many vehicles, much damage!

nope just me, there was a car infront 100 meters and a transport (plus a slew of cars) also 100 meters behind me. I pulled over to the side of the road, assessed the damage (my magentic lights ripped off the car and went flying somewhere, probably oncoming traffic) and decided it was safest for me to drive the 1 km to the nearest exit. The car is black and had no tail lights so I was afraid if I left it there on the side of the road someone would rear end it.
I got to c-tire at 6:59 and they closed at 7. Walmart and home depot didn't have the magnetic lights.
I was doing 60km/h at the time due to the conditions.
I was steering to correct but the trailer whipped me around 3 times before the median stopped it from it's death whip.
It added about an hour onto my trip

There were all kinds of cars in the ditch everywhere though, it was ridiculous

No bodily harm caused to anyone thankfully

Here's a couple pictures of the damage. Ignore the damage on th passenger side, I did that in the driveway trying to tow it into place, everything on the driver side is from the mishap on the highway

The bumper skin was already off the car but the rebar was on. It was half ripped off from the crash so I had to rip the other half off on the side of the road
