The incident occurred on I-83 in Pennsylvania<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Shortly after 9 A.M. local time on Friday morning, thousands of hot dogs spilled onto Interstate 83<\/a><\/span> in York County, Pennsylvania<\/a><\/span> following a crash involving a tractor trailer and two other vehicles. Several people were injured in the incident and were treated at York Hospital, although authorities later said that those were not life threatening.\n<\/p>\n

The tractor trailer split open after a mechanical issue resulted in the truck brushing against a concrete divider, resulting in boxes of frozen hotdogs spilling out. According to the owner of a business located near the crash site: “We heard a loud bang, and then we heard about three more loud bangs. We knew it was a tire first, blowout here on 83. But then after that, we knew there was some other type of accident because it went on for a minute or two.”\n<\/p>\n

The wieners were smashed along the road. A photo posted by Shrewsbury Volunteer Fire Company showed a damaged concrete divider in the incident. The spill stopped traffic in both directions, and commutes were delayed by “at least a half an hour,” according to The Independent<\/i>. The lanes reopened later that afternoon.\n<\/p>\n

Cleanup efforts extended into the late morning hours, and allegedly involved rakes. Brad Dauberman, who serves as Shrewsbury, Pennsylvania<\/a><\/span> fire company chief described the cleanup process: “Once those [dogs] leave the truck and hit the road, that\u2019s all garbage, and it\u2019s still pretty warm. […] I can tell you personally, hot dogs are very slippery. I did not know that.” Dauberman also stated that in order to complete the task, they were required to use a front-end loader<\/a><\/span> in order to scoop up clods of meat to be jettisoned into a dump truck.\n<\/p>\n

In total, over one thousand pounds of hotdogs were lost in the spill. The Pennsylvania State Police<\/a><\/span> were investigating the incident.\n<\/p>\n
