WOLF CREEK, Ore. (AP) - A truck driver blamed his breakfast burrito for a crash on Interstate 5 that scattered a load of building materials across all four lanes of the freeway near Wolf Creek in Southern Oregon.

[llevrok]

and there is hamburger all over the highway in Mystic Connecticut.

[posterchild]

For want of a burrito the highway was lost.

[Conspiracy Guy]

A burrito once tried to steal my truck. I ate the burrito.

[Larry Lucido]

Once again a burrito causes skid marks.

[KoRn]

This will make for a great “Roy Mercer” call!

[mylife]

I’ll bet an illegal prepared the deadly burrito.

[Rennes Templar]

The driver is now a has-bean.

[mylife]

Dont make me come down there... I'll put a pop knot on your head ☺

[thecabal]

Must have been one of those giant ones from Muchas Gracias.

And why am I reminded of a scene from Friday (or was it Next Friday)?

[Future Snake Eater]

The culprit:

"Oh, Baxter, you are my little gentleman. I'll take you to foggy London town 'cause you are my little gentleman. Wow, this burrito is delicious, but it is filling."

[Jess Kitting]

when he reached for his burrito. . .

Aren't there rules against doing that while driving?

[fight_truth_decay]

He tried to correct his line of travel and lost control, causing the load to shift and the truck and trailer to overturn

How many more Burritos must die????

[rightwingintelligentsia]

They should make burritos illegal.

[Global2010]

Muchos Gracias is the best we have in our Coastal Area.

The Oregon Trail Burrito is a local fave.

I love to pour at least 4 red hot sauces on mine so it is a pull over watch the ocean and enjoy meal before getting back to driving.

The Breakfest burrito is awesome too but I am not a big fan of eggs.

Good if we are coming home from early in the a.m. from a long evening out.

[papasmurf]

Dang it, man! Don’t you know you should’nt be playing with your Burrito while driving?

You can grow hair on your fingers, get warts, or even go blind!

[ErnBatavia]

No man that drives a truck for a living should have “Lavern” for his middle name....period. Wayne, maybe - but never Lavern.

[ER_in_OC,CA]

Uh, yeah. It’s totally coming at some point — a ban on eating while driving. I can see OR or WA starting it, or maybe VT will lead the way on this new legislation against DWE.

[TankerKC]

Once again a burrito causes skid marks.

You have solidified your place in the Freeper Hall of Fame.

[Global2010]

Yep.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

And sometimes a burrito is just a burrito.

[Global2010]

Thank God no one was hurt or worse.

[Global2010]

Also for $4.30 to have a whole home flavored hearty meal in an Oregon Trail Burrito or Mucho Gracias Breakfest Burrito I would rather not eat if Mc Donalds or other chain fast food Burrito was my only choice.

I went out of town to Easter Oregon last week and thought hmm I will grab a taco at Taco Time.

Blech it was like eating dog food taco mix.

So I fasted for the rest of the trip untill I got back to the coast and picked up an Oregon Trail Burrito the next morning.

[Global2010]

No no Waynes or Dwaynes dem are cereal killer trucker names.

[Beowulf9]

Burrito’s don’t kill people. People kill people.

[Ezekiel]

Once again a burrito causes skid marks.<<<

After all...

A truck driver blamed his breakfast burrito for a crash on Interstate 5 that scattered a load...

[thecabal]

Yeah, Muchas is one of my occasional guilty pleasures. One of them breakfast burritos will tide you over for nearly the entire day. :)

[Traveler59]

Why, oh why, does the song "Wolf Creek Pass" (C. W. McCall) keep dancing through my head???? ;)

[bannie]

My x-husband crashed grabbing for a rolling watermelon.

It would be interesting to find out the reason (beyond stupidity) for various crashes.

[SIDENET]

I hope the burrito made it.

[Mr_Moonlight]

This is PHEWW ... as well as series

[llevrok]

VT will lead the way on this new legislation against DWE.

DWB

The burrito was unavailable for comment.

***This will make for a great “Roy Mercer” call!***

“How big of an old boy are ya?”

Out of Tulsa Ok. That is Roy D as in dee Mercer!

[Mr_Moonlight]

Wayne, maybe - but never Lavern.

Shirley you can't be series?

[llevrok]

My x-husband crashed grabbing for a rolling watermelon.

Was it in his vehicle or along side the road when he grabbed for it? ;-)

[MosesKnows]

when he reached for his burrito

That is akin to saying the gun shot someone.

Are there any people left who are able to accept the consequences of their actions? Even small children reach the point of responsibility wherein they change from "my homework got lost" to "I lost my homework".

[fieldmarshaldj]

When burritos are outlawed, only outlaws will have burritos.

[Sir_Ed]

We have a Muchas Gracias here in Grants Pass (just South of Wolf Creek) I wonder if it’s owned by the same people?

[bannie]

HAHA!

As he tells it, it was rolling off of the seat. I'm sure that alcohol was also involved. If he was breathing, alcohol was involved.

[dragnet2]

Oh, another driver being totally distracted...So glad he didn’t wipe out entire families, like so many other distracted drivers do.

[martin_fierro]

[Petronski]

A laughing Cyborg on my left tells me you win the thread, no doubt.

LOL

I agree.

[TexasTransplant]

I have made that very curve on my 1100 Yamaha at 120mph (plus), wow that picture brought back memories, there was a KZ 1000 in front of me an I was trying to catch him, never did, he was faster and braver than I

[Larry Lucido]

My other line was going to be that he was “Tex-Mexting.” Glad I went the other way. :-)

[Slings and Arrows]

That come with hot sauce?

[martin_fierro]

That come with hot sauce?

Meour Cream.
