15,000 pounds of hot dog filler 'catapults' onto roadway following crash

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.

Always wanted to know what 15000 pounds of whipped up and sanitized L&A looked like.

Because they never play that song these days. Too bad; it’s one of my favorite Harry Chapin tunes, but it’s at least 10 years since I heard it on the radio.

Ooh, pink asphalt. Just moosh it around and fill in the potholes. Probably last as long as the black stuff.

In addition, if they leave it there on the side of the road for a week — it will still be there and neither rats nor flies will have touched it. Well, some might have, but they died.

No, those are the “meats”. The filler is powdered milk or soy proteins, anti coagulants to aid in extruding the paste into wiener casings, a butt load of nitrates and salt, all the good stuff! I worked at a meat packing plant for a couple of months in my high school days. Attempting to outrun all the stray dogs on the way home was a thing to see.

Thanks for that, I took a few to listen to it again. All the radio stations seem to think that Chapin only ever recorded “Taxi” and “Cat’s in the Cradle”.
