A semi-truck driver hauling red dye failed to stop despite knowing the liquid was leaking onto the roadway and splashing cars for miles through the Portland area on Saturday night, authorities said.
Deputies in Multnomah County responded to reports of a tractor trailer leaking a red substance in Troutdale, a city about 16 miles outside Portland, the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office said.
The driver, 40-year-old Junior Jean, told deputies the liquid was used to dye mulch, according to authorities. Deputies said Jean also claimed to have stopped to inspect the leak when another driver flagged him, but his company had told him to continue driving to his destination.

Very weird, is he trying to spew the seed of communism on the road?

Just coloring the area what it already is.
Reminds me of a story about truckers hauling hazardous liquid waste to a dump, where they were charged based on how much waste they had to dump. Police officers kept pulling them over and politely pointing out their were leaking fluid as they drove down the road, until they caught on to what was really happening.
We all remember the red dye ship that collided with the purple dye ship.
The sailors were marooned.
Bada bing.
Red dye at night sailors delight, red dye at morning sailors take warning.
It’s doing a Red Dye #2.
My son has a friend who’s a trucker. His company has a water tanker tv as t runs overweight. He got tagged twice at a weigh station. It was just water yet they required another tanker to offload some of the weight.
For some reason, I remember in the 70's, that red dye #2 was why there were no red M&M's, from my Weekly Reader.
Now I remember from “The Weekly Reader”, they also got rid of TAB.
That was my “model diet”.
Tab, cocaine, and Marlboro Lights...
“The driver, 40-year-old Junior Jean,” -— Is he by any chance a Haitian invader?
Coca-Cola discontinued Tab in 2020.
How apropos is that!
A few years ago I was driving on the Golden State Freeway near San Fernando and a dump truck in front of me projected a rock that hit and cracked my windshield. I called the number on the dump truck’s door and the gentleman on the phone listened to my complaint and said, “The Lord is listening to our phone call. Are you sure the rock came from our dump truck?” I was humbled and said, “Well, no.” I’ll never forget that conversation.
There is such a thing as moral certainty.
Sounds as if you believed to a moral certainty that the truck ahead of you was the proximate cause of your broken windshield.
That should be enough for an insurance payout.
Substitute, cocaine, with Salem's, and substitute "Iaster's Choice freeze dried coffee" , that was her diet.
I asked her why we couldn't have regular Coca-Cola some over 50 years ago, and in a modern Klaus Schwab voice, "You will like TAB and enjoy it".
But God Bless her, she always put on the greatest the greatest neighborhood Christmas party, plenty of Prime Rib all around.
Merry Christmas.
It won’t matter. Portland’s already polluted.
Red everywhere.
How apropos.
