A Borden truck overturned on Interstate 95, spilling a shipment of milk on the highway.
Palm Beach County Fire Rescue reported that no one was injured in the Jan. 29 incident. However, a stretch of highway was closed for about three hours for cleanup.
The crash ripped open the truck, launching 4.160 gallons of milk onto the northbound lanes near Lake Worth Road.
With more delivery trucks moving at all hours, crashes have resulted in the release of a wide range of consumer items onto the highways.
Across Florida, we’ve witnessed crashed trucks pour lobster traps, pork, chips, and alcohol. A burning vehicle threw frozen fish on the road in Miami Gardens.
It’s enough for hosting a food feast.
Then there’s the shoes, the manure, and even thousands of dollars in cash. Here are some of the goods that have been dumped on Florida’s roads:
Beer and chips
It was not a celebration for highway drivers. A vehicle delivering chips collided with another truck carrying beer in Brevard County, dropping both on Interstate 95.
Lobster traps
Broken lobster traps littered the Overseas Highway in the Florida Keys when a truck lost control.
Money from a Brinks truck
A Brinks truck collapsed and deposited hundreds of thousands of dollars on I-95 in Miami. Dave Barry, a humour columnist and author, wrote about it back then.
Busch beer
An entire shipment of Busch beer (60,000 pounds) was poured on the interstate in the Florida Panhandle after a truck toppled.
Nickels
After two trucks collided, more than $180,000 worth of gleaming new nickels rolled into a Brevard County highway.
Meat
After a train collided with a damaged vehicle in Lakeland, boxes of frozen chicken and beef ended up on the road.
