Hot dogs attack the highway: in the US a wagon scattered meat tones, there are victims (video)
According to Voluntary Fire Company Shrusbury, the trailer of the truck, loaded with more than 450 kilograms of frozen hot dogs, was torn when collided with a concrete separator. Meat products flew across the road. As a result of the injury, four people were taken to the York Hospital. According to preliminary police reports, their condition is not critical. Eyewitnesses say they have heard a series of loud explosions.
The business owner near the scene said in a comment: "At first they thought that the tire had burst. But then they realized that something was more serious. " The highway for some time became unusable: drivers carefully maneuvered between hundreds of scattered sausages, moving them. The cleaners were cleaning the road with the help of loaders and dump trucks. The head of the Srusbury Fire Service Brad Doberman told NBC News that the crash could be the technical malfunction.
"As soon as the truck released the cargo, the road became extremely slippery. Hot-dogs were more dangerous than it seems," he said. In addition to the meat clutter, 12 concrete barriers were damaged, and now their condition is evaluated by representatives of the state transport department. The incident was not left out of the social networks. Users joke by calling it "meat apocalypse" or "the most delicious accident of the year.
" Someone wrote: "The driver just wanted to add ketchup", and the other advised to attract dogs from shelter for 30 minutes. The road was not completely blocked, but partial blocking caused serious congestion by the second half of the day. As Doberman summed up, "This is exactly one of the most amazing situations we have encountered. " Pennsylvania police continue to investigate the causes of the accident. No charges have not yet been made.
