Next Time, Don't Tell the Driver to "Take a Shortcut"


Both the driver and passenger in a cab that flew off the Expressway are alive and (somewhat) well.

A curious quote from the driver: ""I was going slowly, 35, 40, 45 miles an hour." This in a nor'easter, the kind of storm that's so bad they put an apostrophe in the name.

The real question is, as the taxi lay all smashed up as the ambulance arrived, did he keep the meter running?
