There was an unusual traffic accident near Cleveland, OH yesterday.
A stretch of highway in Ohio was closed Thursday morning when a crash involving two semi trucks covered the roadway in boxes of chocolate and caramel.
The Ohio Department of Transportation said the two trucks collided about 6 a.m. Thursday on westbound Interstate 90 in Lake County.
One of the trucks spilled its load of chocolate and caramel candy into the roadway, prompting officials to direct traffic off the highway.

Here's what the cleanup looked like. The video is silent, so don't adjust your speakers' volume. Note the color of the road surface.
I bet cleaning up that lot was a nasty, sticky mess, particularly as it congealed on the road surface in the freezing temperatures. Driving on that stuff must be a nightmare!

1) NIGHTMARE!!!
ReplyDelete2) Now we are concerned that the deer will be attracted to the sweets in the roadway.
3) This is likely to suck for a couple of days.
4) The GOOD thing is we are getting fairly solid rain today.

Throw in a semi load of pecans and you could say that the road was closed due to the mass destruction of turtles.
ReplyDeleteSo, the fudge hit the fan?
ReplyDeleteIt's a good thing this didn't happen on a sundae?
Investigators are looking into the sauce of the accident?
(okay, okay ...)
A few decades back that happened with a shipment of chocolate, and shipment of peanut butter.
ReplyDeleteAnd that was when Reese's Candy Company broke out of the minor leagues.
If the other truck involved had been carrying ice cream and sprinkles....
ReplyDeleteTwo ships, one carrying red paint, and the other blue paint, collided when crossing the Pacific ocean last month. The two crews were marooned on a nearby island.
ReplyDeleteOof... that's going to take a while to clean up!
ReplyDeleteI saw the tail end of the really clean streets resulting from a spill clean up.
ReplyDeleteA semi delivering a load of laundry detergent to a Safeway distribution center in Richmond, CA tipped over. Detergent spilled onto a major surface street. A street sweeper truck was used. So was a fire hose. Think giant shaving brush.
