Bad news: Gigantic Chinese traffic jam (briefly) returns

A huge traffic jam stretching at least 120 kilometres (75 miles) reappeared in northern China Thursday, with thousands of cargo trucks stuck in a bottleneck, state media said…

“You could say the highway has become a big parking lot,” a CCTV reporter at the scene said, estimating the number of vehicles stuck in the congestion at more than 10,000.

However, CCTV later said the congestion began to clear in the afternoon.
