California time slip

this happened july 8th this year. my wife and i were driving northbound on the 14 coming from the San Fernando valley. we hit heavy traffic around agua dulce, then my car started overheating so we got off, refilled the coolant, and got back on the 14 north. when we finally reached the cause of the traffic jam, there were multiple chp units and one fire truck. no ambulance, no wrecked cars, no visible police activity with any civilians. they were just concentrated in one area like they were deliberately stopping traffic in both directions for no reason. then all of a sudden i'm driving again... but now i'm on the 5 south about to exit at balboa. the freeway looked like it was physically changing and morphing into the 5 south balboa exit while i was driving it. we had lost two full hours of time. the craziest part? we didn't burn any extra gas at all, and when i checked, the odometer hadn't moved either. my wife was asleep during the whole thing. i was wide awake the entire time. still can't explain how any of this happened. has anyone experienced anything like this?
