Truck Spills Salad Dressing On Highway - as part of the news series by GeoBeats.

Semi trucks are a common sight on every highway, but did you ever wonder what those trucks were hauling, or what would happen if those contents spilled all over the road? Drivers and officials in Western Germany got to view the aftermath of a truck that crashed into a wall, spilling condiments mixed with diesel fuel, coating the road with a toxic salad dressing. The truck initially popped a tire, causing the vehicle to skid and strike the wall with such force that the fuel tank burst. The driver escaped with minor injuries but police officials claim the aroma of diesel fuel, vinegar and mustard mixed together ‘was a little harsh on the nose’.

Recently a logging truck lost control on a Washington stretch of road when attempting to turn. While there were no serious injuries, cleaning officials had to deal with a road completely covered in timbers. In another story, a Kentucky highway was covered in Log Cabin maple syrup after a semi swerved to avoid another car and crashed into an overpass, appropriately named Buttermilk Pike.
