Beer Heads to Landfill

March 2nd, 2010

As much as I don’t like Budweiser, I can’t endorse spilled beer, or beer being thrown away. Early this morning, a tractor-trailer full of Budweiser jackknifed and spilled its load on the side of the road.

Investigators said the driver was northbound on Highway 15 when he ran off the right side of the roadway and overcorrected, causing the big rig to jackknife.

The load of Budweiser then shifted, causing the tractor-trailer to overturn and slide off the right edge of the road.

The worst part it all the beer was loaded into a giant dumpster and taken to the landfill courtesy of health department orders. Too bad I don’t live near Scotland County, Missouri, or I would be engaged in some serious dumpster diving.
