GROVELAND, N.Y. -- Part of a highway in the Finger Lakes region of western New York State is open again after a chocolate-covered mishap. Northbound lanes of a highway south of Rochester were closed for five hours last night after a tanker truck crashed and spilled 45,000 pounds of liquid chocolate. State police say there were no serious injuries in the crash. Troopers say the truck driver swerved to avoid a deer. The truck, from M and M Mars in Elizabethtown, Pa., rolled over and the tanker split, spilling its load. A road grader had to be brought in to scrape up the chocolate, which also covered a bridge and a car on another road below. The fire chief said it smelled like a Hershey bar -- but no nuts.

Truckers do not swerve to miss deer they run them over lots less damage that way. This guy most likely dozed off then rolled it. I deer is just a handy excuse.
