A bizarre scene unfolded on a Pennsylvania highway after a lorry carrying thousands of hot dogs overturned, spilling its contents across the road and causing significant traffic delays.
The incident occurred during the early hours of the morning, leaving motorists stunned as they encountered a sea of frankfurters strewn across multiple lanes. Emergency crews worked swiftly to clear the mess, but not before social media erupted with jokes and memes about the 'wiener wipeout'.
Cleanup Operation Underway
Authorities reported that the lorry driver escaped unharmed, though the vehicle sustained considerable damage. The cleanup required specialised equipment to remove the slippery cargo from the tarmac.
'We've dealt with spills before, but never quite like this,' remarked one highway maintenance worker. 'It looked like someone dropped a giant picnic.'
Traffic Nightmare
The accident caused major delays during rush hour, with some drivers reporting being stuck for over two hours. Traffic cameras captured the surreal sight of workers shovelling hot dogs into bins while frustrated motorists looked on.
Transport officials warned commuters to expect continued delays as investigations into the cause of the accident continue. Early reports suggest mechanical failure may be to blame.
