Police say the driver lost control of the semi-truck and after the truck overturned, the filling spilled out.
This truck driver probably didn't relish this situation — an overturned semi-truck spilled 15,000 pounds of hot dog filler onto the roadway in Pennsylvania, according to authorities.
According to a police report, the Freightliner was speeding down Interstate 70 in Rostraver when the driver began to lose control.
The truck then left the roadway and drove into the soft shoulder. As this happened, the cab of the truck was impaled by several trees, which helped stop the truck.
Police say that because of the "violent stopping motion" of the cab, the meat product inside the cab dislodged and spilled on the road. In all, about 15,000 pounds of hot dog filler catapulted onto the road.

Police say after further investigation into the crash officers found multiple brakes on the truck were "completely inoperable," which resulted in the truck being unable to stop.

Hot dog filler? Almost looks like wet fiberglass insulation.
Heh
This stuff seems to happen in Pennsylvania.
20,000 pounds of bananas in Scranton and now 15,000 pounds of hot dog filler in Rostraver.
Both because of bad brakes.
(the meat product inside the cab dislodged and spilled on the road)
Ha.
Well no wonder the driver crashed!!! 😆
It is also about as useful as wet fiberglass insulation. Plus, I guarantee you, it will be far more expensive to clean up.
RE: dogs aren’t stuffed where they’re ground... wut?
Is this fake meat filler from Bill Gates’ test labs? Never eating another hotdogs again.
Keep going, you’re on a roll.
Frickin’ gross!
Never sausage a mess!
that’s the breaks...
Great! I’m sitting here eating a hot dog as I’m reading this.
Guess I’ll find something else for dinner.
Hot dog filler…chicken lips, pork bungs and other nasty stuff. Otto von Bismarck once said…” Laws are like sausages, it is better not to see them being made.”.
30,000 pounds of bananas.
Good news though — salvage crews managed to scrape up almost all the filler and delivered it to the packer just in time.
Looks like a high speed incident involving Michael Moore.
Needs a critter cam. I know it's gonna be a buffet for certain types of diners, but I can't help but imagine cat after cat, like the one at the end of Pillow Talk.
Jabba the Hutt spills a gut.
Dang! You’re right!
How could I have messed that up!
