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.
Throw down some Cool Ranch Doritos and I’ll be there…
Alert the Emergency Quesadilla Crew and rush a whole bunch of tortillas to the scene. And don’t forget the Rapid Response Salsa Brigade.
When I lived in California, I loved pulling out a shopping cart that some beaner had left their kids sh!tty diaper in. Yeah, thanks… I want to put my food in that now.
Curd you stop with the bad puns?!?
Would you prefer gouda puns?
Got friends camping at Arches right now. Luckily this is an old article.
What kind of cheese? This is important.
Just sweep it up and send it to Taco Bell.
I would hope for a truck load of Rémy Martin XO Excellence Cognac in front of my house. I would gladly help in the cleanup of the debris. If such happened it would be absolute proof there is a God and he loves me. LOL
In your general area.
LOL. In my case, late 50s or so a truck carrying frozen vegetables overturned in my town. The cargo was disposed of in our town dump, a mile from my house. Before long the dump was filled with residents filling up their vehicles with all they could scavenge. My mom stocked up on Birds Eye Peas and Carrots, and served them for what seemed like years until she finally depleted the supply.
I heard there was a little dip in the road.
Grate! Just grate!
Make America Grate Again (rimshot)
Hah! Another truck ran over the meridiam in the same place and a truck load of turkeys escaped about a week before Thanksgiving. Some turkeys escaped, and some didn’t.
CHEESE!!!
Light cheese?😇
