Botched NC Traffic Alert Warns Of ‘Women Drivers, Rain, ObamaCare’

November 7, 2013 11:41 AM

Raleigh, N.C. (CBS CHARLOTTE) – The North Carolina Department of Transportation sent out a traffic alert, warning people of female drivers, rain and Obamacare.

The North Carolina DOT sends out routine alerts to drivers about accidents and road work using email and Twitter messages.

On Wednesday, the NCDOT sent out an alert which reads: “A High severity incident has been Added for I-40 Eastbound in Wake County in Raleigh,” before going on to list the incident as “Vehicle Accident: Women Drivers, Rain, Obama Care.”

The message then advised drivers: “Stay Home.”

WTKR NewsChannel 3 reached out to the NCDOT officials who said the erroneous message occurred due to a botched test of the system. (Haven't we heard that somewhere else recently? -LA)
