All of the running and work is winding Barry down, and it's a huge relief when Yamato announces the lock.
"Awesome," he breathes, slowing for just a few steps.
Suddenly the scene ahead turns into chaos and Barry's eyes widen.
"Oh man."
Picking up the pace once again, Barry rushes into the gridlock, zipping around as cars screech to a halt, some of them running into each other while others narrowly miss collisions.
Barry races to get to any pedestrians in danger and check on anyone in a vehicle that's been hit.
One old man he pulls out of the way just in time as a swerving car hops up onto the sidewalk. A bicyclist misses getting sandwiched between two trucks thanks to Barry. And when a truck hauling old tires drops its gate and the load comes tumbling out onto nearby cars, the tires wind up stacked beside the truck instead.
These feats take the last of everything, and when Barry zips away from the scene and comes to a stop behind a building several blocks away he's breathing hard, leaning up against a wall for support.
"Yamato, I can't-- the truck got away," he pants, disappointed in himself. "Can you help dispatch EMTs and firetrucks? I didn't find any major injuries, but there are some people kind of banged up."
