Expression "gaper delay" to describe traffic slowdown caused by motorists
slowing to gape at overturned vehicle or ambulances or activity by the fuzz
is in wide use on radio stations in the Philadelphia metropolitan area;
noted it first at least 5 years ago, haven't seen it in print very often,
can't convince dictionary edd. to accept it.
