Sweet accident

Breaking cookie news from the Associated Press ...

MORRIS, Ill. — Police say a trailer loaded with 14 tons of double-stuffed Oreos has overturned, spilling the cookies still in their plastic sleeves into the median and roadway. Illinois State Police Sgt. Brian Mahoney says the truck’s driver was traveling from Chicago to Morris on Interstate 80 around 4 a.m. Monday when he fell asleep at the wheel and slammed into the median. Mahoney says no charges have been filed but both lanes of traffic remain closed while authorities remove the cookies.

You know this is gonna take forever because you know they're gonna clean up all the white stuff first.

If that happened on one of the metro freeways, I'd love to be part of the HERO crew that had to clean up that mess. :)
