Too bad there is no photo. The driver must have been drinking. Why else flee when obviously he will be identified.

I was Googling for pics. Have yet to find any. However, I did find other headlines about this accident:

"A highway, 165,000 eggs, 250 pounds of kitty litter and a missing driver"

"Omelet takes road food to a new level"

"EGGS SCRAMBLE TRAFFIC"

LOL

Scrambled with a side of bacon please. Thank you!

I remember when a tractor trailer load of tires caught on fire on the beltway way back when. What a mess.

Wilson, 60, said the eggs were destined for a hatchery in Salisbury, Md., where they would have become chickens to be eaten at fast food restaurants.

PETA will be pleased! ;^)

Scores of people dropped off 267 guns in West Philadelphia yesterday in exchange for $200 worth of food vouchers each plus two tickets to a 76ers game, no questions asked.

"Waste not, want not" let's put those eggs to good use.
