Was bedeutet in the backed-up traffic ?

“They were jostling for a position or whatever,” West Goshen Police Chief Joe Gleason told ABC 6. “And unfortunately this gentleman took it to a degree that was just unconscionable.”

After shooting Roberson, the driver fled on Route 202 before exiting onto Paoli Pike. Cops say he is blond, between 30 and 40 years old and has a medium build.

Roberson’s grandmother was sitting in the backed-up traffic after the crash, and thought, “I hope it’s not Bianca,” the station reported.

Traffic is a reference to a lot of things in one area. When traffic is referred to as "backed-up", that means there is a lot of traffic. Because it is used in a sentence with a crash, we can usually conclude that it is a car crash. "Traffic" is frequently used with car traffic and a crash would usually cause a lot of cars to get "backed-up" meaning stopped and stuck. When there is a car crash, traffic follows. Roberson's grandmother is worried about the people in the crash, hoping that it isn't Bianca who got hurt.
