Kor37 9 Posted May 19, 2008 14 tons of spilled Oreo cookies snarl Ill. trafficAP Posted: 2008-05-19 09:02:10 MORRIS, Ill. (AP) - Police say a trailer loaded with 14 tons of double-stuffed Oreos has overturned, spilling the cookies still in their plastic sleeves into the median and roadway. Illinois State Police Sgt. Brian Mahoney says the truck's driver was traveling from Chicago to Morris on Interstate 80 around 4 a.m. Monday when he fell asleep at the wheel and slammed into the median. "The boxes came out of the trailer and boxes were ripped open," he said. The crash about 50 miles southwest of Chicago remains under investigation. Mahoney says no charges have been filed but both lanes of traffic remain closed while authorities remove the cookies. Note to Lizzy: If TJ Hawk shows up at your door with a present of cookies and a gallon of milk, now you know where he got them from......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GhostofMajorHayes 10 Posted May 19, 2008 This is almost as big a blessing as when a beer truck lost dozens of cases of beer here in Wisconin a few years back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trekz 7 Posted May 20, 2008 (edited) Is it true that the driver said, "Sorry, but stuff happens!" Did the officers "remove the cookies" straight into their squad cars? Edited May 20, 2008 by trekz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
