“It’s been busy, a lot of traffic. A lot of traffic and accidents too,” Patel said.
Taylor Sievert and her dog Bailey were also traveling from North Carolina to Orlando for Thanksgiving. She traveled down Interstate 95 and hit terrible traffic in Georgia but that wasn’t the only place she hit bad traffic.
“Jacksonville was pretty bad so that was not fun, that’s why I pulled over here to just try and take a break, and let her out of the car because it’s been so bad,” Sievert said.
For Manish and Taylor, they hoped their worst traffic was behind them.
AAA said they expect 2.8 million Floridians to drive to their destinations this week.
