Illinois Driver Tosses His Cookies

Oreosandmilk_2On May 18th, 2008, Illinois police reported a trailer containing 14 tons of double-stuffed Oreo cookies had overturned on Interstate 80. The police say the truck's driver was traveling from Chicago to Morris when he fell asleep at the wheel around 4am and slammed into the median about 50 miles southwest of Chicago. Boxes reportedly ripped open as they came out of the trailer but the cookies seem to have remained in their plastic sleeves. The crash is still under investigation and no charges have been filed, but both lanes of traffic had to be closed while authorities removed the cookies.

Hopefully they called on some firemen with a giant hose of milk and a healthy appetite. Why do these things never happen in Seattle? I would have been more than happy to provide an eyewitness report.
