June 11 (UPI) -- The Utah Department of Transportation said it was a "melon-choly" morning on Interstate 80 when a truck spilled its load of watermelons into the roadway.
The department shared photos on social media showing the sticky mess of smashed watermelons littering the roadway near Echo Reservoir in Summit County on Monday.
A photo shows the semi truck that was carrying the melons with the side torn off of its trailer. It was not clear how the damage occurred.
"It was a melon-choly morning on I-80 today," officials wrote. "At 3 a.m. our team learned of this fruity spill and jumped into action in the early hours to reopen all lanes in time for the commute."
Ooops PING
The city slicker in his sports car spotted a stand by the side of the road. All it had were watermelons. The guy asked the farmer what in the heck they were.
“Why - these here are dinosaur eggs.”
So the city slicker buys one and straps it onto the trunk rack of his sports car. Miles down the road he notices it is missing. He turns around to recover it but it is smashed on the pavement, and chickens from a nearby farm are pecking away at it.
The city slicker races back to the stand.
“I want my money back - that was no dinosaur egg! Nothing but a chicken egg!!”
Ross Chastain is very disappointed... He loves to smash a watermelon (His family are watermelon farmers in Florida) after a win. 🤓
A NASCAR fan....I see... 🤓
“Spill covers Utah highway in smashed watermelons”
when informed of this news, it was reported that Gallagher burst into tears ...
But that guy is dead! Gallagher was a hoot.
If only Gallagher could have lived to see this.
It would be porn to him.
