"Southbound traffic then also came to a crawl as rubberneckers slowed to get a look at the damaged trucks and roadway."

In Educational Resources:

"But as it turns out, there wasn’t any way to bypass it because the backup wasn’t due to an accident, a stalled car or some rubberneckers. It was because of road construction and only one lane was open. "
