Traffic issues at Sunday air show mainly after the event
Crowds gathered along runways and roads to watch a Blue Angels display Sunday. Middletown police reported few auto mishaps before the show, but postshow traffic jams surged as thousands headed homeward. Lt Combs directed rapid vehicle flow while the state patrol used loudspeakers to keep traffic moving. A stalled farmer tractor blocked Smith Park entry for about 15 minutes before aid started the engine.
