ARCHES NATIONAL PARK, Utah (KUTV) — A trailer carrying thousands of pounds of shredded cheese split open after the semi-truck hauling it tipped over near the entrance to Arches National Park in Grand County, spilling its contents across the roadway.

Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Cameron Roden said the semi, traveling southbound on US-191, veered off the road for an unknown reason around 6 a.m., striking two light poles. The trailer tipped over upon impact and spilled shredded cheese across the highway.

All southbound lanes were closed while two tow trucks worked to remove the semi from the scene. Northbound traffic was reduced to one lane while southbound traffic was being detoured into the median.

Sgt. Roden noted that the driver’s injuries appeared to be minor, but both light poles were damaged and would require repairs.

Lane restrictions and possible height restrictions will remain in effect near milepost 130 until further notice. No other details were immediately available.

OMG. Reminds me of a time that a tractor trailer overturned during the late 50’s on rt. 1 in Metuchen N.J. It was carrying cases of beer. My father had a small shop a few properties away. Within 15 minutes hundreds of people showed up. This was way before any cell phones or internet, but there was something called “Party lines”. Several customers sharing the same line. Everyone knew everyone else’s business for a few years. Needless to say the beer quickly disappeared.

Every time I think it’s going to be a nice, quiet shift, this happens.

LOL

And if the truck caught fire, it would be grilled cheese.

He was whey off his route. He missed the curd.

Illegal aliens before breaking the border graduate with advanced degrees in environmental despoliation, a/k/a littering. They all do it. And do it well.

Walmart has removed the trash cans it had been locating at the shopping cart return stations in its parking lots. So now the parking lots are full of shopping carts filled with trash.

You can also see where an illegal alien driver and his car have been parked and what the alien ate for breakfast, lunch or dinner, wrappers containers and bottles left neatly on the ground right where the driver can drop them just by opening his car door.

Sometimes it's on the passenger side of the parking spot. You can tell. Then they just drive off. Clean car and all.

They are so clever with trash placement and law violations it's amazing they didn't get here sooner than they did.

Someone driving a Beemster must have cut him off.
