I looked at the photo, and it doesn't look that abnormal. We have car accidents in Seattle, too. I just go around the pile of debris, rather than through it. When you look at the photo, you can see that the "travel lane" is clean.
That said, I had to go through a pile of bottle glass in a narrow spot yesterday, and was surprised that no flats ensued. It was probably just luck, but overall, I get far fewer flats with wider tires. The lower air pressure does work for me at least – the only flats I get these days are from steel wires that come out of exploded car and truck tires. Jan Heine Compass Bicycles Ltd.
