Twizzlers Spilled All Over I-70 In Westmoreland County
CBS Pittsburgh ^ | March 12, 2015 | CBS Pittsburgh

ROSTRAVER (KDKA)- Police had to redirect traffic around a messy crash along Interstate 70 in Westmoreland County.

Around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday, a tractor-trailer swerved and hit a barrier, which split the trailer wide open. This crash happened in the construction zone between exit 44 (Arnold City) and exit 43 (Fayette City/Donora).

The big rig was hauling Twizzlers licorice, which spilled all over the highway.

I-70 was closed for several hours while crews cleaned up the mess.

The truck driver was not seriously hurt in the crash.

Foggy conditions in the area may have played a role in the crash.

I'd have invoked the 'five second rule' and been there in my pickup to help reopen the road.........but they were prolly still wrapped, so no harm, no foul.

I'm having trouble making up my mind where to go.

Oh, wait, free is good, but I've never cared for licorice, so, anybody got an opener?

Wait a second, are these the red ones or the black ones? Trying to figure out if this is a good or a bad thing...

Pennsylvania does not tax candy (it is considered a food item) > We have lots of candy companies around here> Westmoreland County is within a day’s truck drive of about 2/3rds of the U.S. population> We have some of the worst roads and truck drivers in the country> Stuff like this is bound to happen.
