MGN

ST. LOUIS, MO. (KYMA, KECY/CNN) - Today, several hundred drivers caused a major traffic jam in St. Louis.

But their reasoning seems like they aren't to blame.

A daycare center was offering drivers $30 in free gas at two separate gas stations.

Drivers waited in line to fill in their tanks for over an hour.

Police were notified about the roadblock and helped with traffic.

Several drivers were being offered $20 to leave the long lines.

The daycare owners secured $10,000 to the cause because they wanted to bless the community.
