A Florida highway was blocked on Wednesday by thousands of beer cans after a crash with five semi-trailers.
All lanes were closed after the semi-trailer carrying the beer crashed into trucks parked on the side of the road.
Photos taken at the scene by the Florida Highway Patrol show so many spilled beer boxes and cans, the road can barely be seen.
The highway was eventually reopened some hours later. Only minor injuries were reported.
According to the Tampa Bay Times, two semi-trailers crashed on the busy highway on Wednesday morning and pulled over.
Two more semi-trailers pulled over to help, as well as a pickup truck.
A fifth semi-trailer - the one carrying the beer - failed to stop in time and crashed into the parked vehicles.

Oh the BEER-MANITY!!!!
Now I want to watch it again, it’s been awhile.
LOL!
I don’t see any beer in that pic.
It was a test to see if you’re straight. You passed.
As an arrow!
BEER? She’s drinking something?
Coors, no big loss.
Beer Lives Matter!......................
That’s alcohol abuse.
Looks like Coors to me. No big loss. 😋
There’s a beer in that pic?...........................
You two have got some kind of Vulcan mind-meld going on?
That’s where I want to be during Oktoberfest in Munich.
Fasching too.

I would down some pretty nasty swill as long as she served it to me.
Ever see the videos of the puke park off site during that celebration?
Burt, Sally, Sheriff Gleason, Hal Needham and the best underpaid product placement Pontiac ever did! And an oops caught before committed, Jerry Reed as second banana and singer!
Still, a fun 1970s movie with svelt wimmin, illegal beer, and preposterous highway feats that we remember 50 years later is an amazing cultural milestone at almost 50 years later.
The one criticism I have is how much the Gleason role blackened southern sheriffs for decades following. To those interested, while Smokey is a fun one, the later Needham-Reynolds film "Hooper" is just as fun, lots of high-jinks and recommended!
Beer- giving plain women closing time opportunities since the advent of taverns...
Before my wife and I saw the movie we spoke to a friend that had seen it. He said it was a fun movie, and that Pontiac was going to sell a lot of Trans-Ams now.
