    Car or van flipped over on inner LSD just north of Belmont tonight about 1am. Looked like another vehicle involved too! Road shut down, about 7 police vehicles.

    HOW does this happen? What's the speed limit there - 25?

    The winter speed limit is 40MPH & the rest of the year it's 45.
    But everyone goes at least 55 if there's not heavy traffic.
