Truck Spills Tons of Oreos on Highway

Posted by Baylen on May. 19, 2008

hydroxtruck.jpgA couple of weeks ago I blogged about highway food wrecks that spilled spoilt dog food and Gatorade. It’s happened again–this time with a truck full of Oreos.

Several lanes of Interstate Highway 80 were shut down for hours overnight after a truck hauling Oreos crashed into a median, spilling tons of the chocolate cookies across the highway, police said.

[...]

The truck was westbound, hauling about 20,000 pounds of Oreos, when the driver lost control and the rig hit a median before veering into the eastbound lanes. The impact ripped the trailer open, spilling its cargo across the eastbound lanes of the highway, he said.

With the cause of the crash still unclear, I’m sure police are looking into reports of a Ghost of Hydrox sighting in the area. Or Oreo-hating Brits driving on the wrong side of the road.

Via Alan, who suggests we make this whole highway-food-wreck thing a regular feature.

    This reminds me of the scene in Animal House, when the evil administrators have everything of worth removed from the Delta House, and one of the hired hands drops an entire case of Jack Daniels in front of Bluto.

    I'm making that same face right now, that he made then.
  • Oh man - if I could have only been there for that - and if only a milk truck had happened by. This is almost too funny to be true - almost!

    Funny but if I'm there, I would definitely get some, ha ha...Maybe some of its truck body parts need to be checked and replaced.
  • Wow. If I'm there too. I'll going to get all in truck. I'm looking forward for your next post, so keep on posting!

    Well, you know what you have to do: just hire a good truck accident attorney and maybe something good will come out out of it.
  • That's the great article! I just pass 'n read it, two thumbs up! ;)
