Oreo Crash- Police say a trailer loaded with 14 tons of double-stuffed Oreos has overturned and spilled the cookies still in their plastic sleeves into the median and roadway.
Illinois police said they had to close several lanes of a highway after the truck carrying the cookies rammed into the median, scattering cookies all over the road.
The cookie spill took place early Monday on Interstate 80 near Morris, Ill., said Master Sgt. Brian Mahoney of the Illinois State Police.
The truck was transporting about 20,000 pounds of Oreo cookies when the accident occurred, the Chicago Tribune reported.
It is reported the force of the crash caused the trailer to fall open and all the cookies to fly onto the highway's eastbound lanes.
The truck driver suffered no injuries, but the highway was shut down for massive cookie clean-up, which lasted several hours, Mahoney said.
Authorities said they are looking into what prompted the incident.
