Freeway Traffic Jam in Chinatown

I got caught last night for 90 minutes on the 60 Freeway between Hacienda and Azusa. 

Big rig turns over on the eastbound 60 Freeway in Hacienda Heights, all lanes closed

7:32PM - Accident happened at Azusa just after the exist (under the overpass/bridge for Azusa).
8:09PM - I got on the Freeway at Hacienda - why was it not blocked?
8:30PM - CHP shows up.

• Couple of vehicles attempt to use reverse to get off freeway.  CHP tells them no.
• Cal Trans Vehicles use emergency lane are blocked by drivers using it illegally to get ahead.  I saw a black mercedes, BMW, etc. do this. 

9:36PM - Finally get off on Azusa and go home.  90 minutes to go just over a mile!
