Reminds me when I was coming up I95 in North Carolina a few years ago a truck and trailer both loaded with watermelons had flipped over right in the middle of I95, watermelons
all over the road.
all over the road.

A 2 lane highway.
A long debris field.
That sure does not look nice.
The one good point is I do not see any truck pieces or a damaged vehicle that was going the other way.

Yes-sir-ree a real mess. Glass and tires don't mix. Seems you get a piece of glass imbedded in your tire and it just works it's way on in till it punctures
the air chamber.....always avoided it at all costs.
On things dumped on the highway, one day I was driving down the interstate between Dallas and the Louisiana border. Lot of chicken farms in E Texas
and Dallas has at least one large slaughter house...used to get my chicken blood there to make catfish bait. Anyhew....come upon an 18 wheeler on it's
side, headed for Dallas, no telling how many cages of chickens were dumped in the meridian, cages broken open and you wouldn't believe how long a
white chicken can stretch it's neck, how fast it can run, nor how big it's eyeballs can get. Was a mess but nothing like the picture.

Seems there's a bit of controversy on the origins of this photo. Some claim it happened in Canada, some claim Mississippi, some Colorado, but near as I can tell this accident actually happened in the Netherlands. This stands to reason, as the name/logo on the beer is Grolsch, which is brewed/bottled in the Netherlands. The earliest date reference I can find is 2004.
.....Then again, wouldn't this be funny if it really wasn't real? Like, maybe a scene from a little-known film from another country? Like maybe, the Netherlands?? *lol*
In doing some searches, it's surprising (at least to me) the number of vehicle accidents that have left road after road after road with beer and suds - what, no pretzels??

The father of a boyhood friend worked for the Georgia DOT and he came home one day in his yellow pickup with the back full of Little Debbie snack cakes of all kinds. Seems a semi truck had turned over on the expressway and split open. He happened to be on the scene. We enjoyed snack cakes for days.
As a Career Firefighter I worked a Railroad derailment several years ago. Boxcar of Beer was involved and broke open. Federal inspector of some kind stood watch as a bulldozer crushed all the cans and they were buried on the spot. Paid the farmer very well for a very small piece of land that was dug up and trench made to bury all. Not a can was allowed to be removed from the site. What a waste, most cases were not ever broke open and I dont recall many cans that were busted. Threats of jail, fines, etc is anyone messed with the beer until all crushed and buried.

It actually amazes me how much alcohol is consumed. My brother is working a
construction job where they are expanding the plant to make more liquor
bottles. The plant runs 24/7. In the grocery there is more beer than milk and
water combined. I have nothing at all against drinking, but it is an awful lot
of booze that gets drank! Mark.

Similar accident went a Coke truck went around a sharp curve near my shop. In 1972 and a single axle truck with the roll-up doors. Door wasn't secured down & rolled up in the banked curve, wooden cases of 8 oz. bottles falling into the oncoming lane like a stick of bombs being dropped. Luckily no oncoming traffic but no traffic at all til broken glass was all swept off the road into a gully. Glass is still down there today.
