Train Collides With Beer Truck

An 18-wheeler and a train collided near Slaton Monday morning creating quite a sticky mess.

It happened about 8:30 in the morning, just off the Slaton Highway, right in front of the Coors Distribution Center. The 18-wheeler was just crossing the tracks when the train slammed into the back side of the truck.

The end of the truck was completely torn off and the side collapsed, spilling beer all over the road. The driver of the truck said there was approximately 43,000 pounds of beer on her truck, and troopers working the scene said about half of her load shattered.

"It caught the back of my trailer and literally yanked everything out of the back of the trailer. It was scarry, I'm still shook up," truck driver Cristina Adams said.

The intersection is marked with signs, but no crossing bars or signals. That's because the road only leads to great plains distribution. The accident is still under investigation.

I'm not much of a Coors Beer fan. It could have been worse, IMHO.

Another alcohol related traffic accident.

And undoubtedly the most flagrant form of alcohol abuse.

anyone got a .wav of taps?

At the source link there is video of the carnage, it looks like mostly Coors Light.
(Is that the beer equivalent ofwomen and children?;-)

Oddly, there is another story about bread and batteries all over the road.

In the high mountain passes there will be snow and ice covered roads, and in the area of Slaton Highway, right in front of the Coors Distribution Center, there will be foamy and sudsy driving conditions. Please exercise due caution.

Should this be in breaking news? What if the terrorists attack the beer supply?

[hchutch]

Must've been a spectacular sight to see...

Six hurt when stolen car driven by 12-year-old crashes with truck (female driver too)

Actually, if it's light beer, no big loss.

Real men don't drink light...:>)

[nhoward14]

Coors is not the beer supply... Coors is the flavored water supply. Foster's is a beer!
