18-wheeler crash spills beer all over I-70.

As of 5:50 a.m., the road is still closed. Officials say to use alternate routes and to expect delays.

FREDERICK COUNTY, Md. — An 18-wheeler rolled over and spilled cases of beer all over three lanes of traffic Tuesday morning in Maryland.

The crash happened just before Exit 62 on eastbound I-70 around 4 a.m. in Frederick County. One man was brought to a nearby hospital to be evaluated.

Photos shared by Frederick County Fire and Rescue show cases of beers piled up on the road. In one photo, the road is wet and the cases are crushed, with cans and bottles strewn about the road. The truck itself is on its side blocking all three lanes of traffic.

Apparently the responding LE got on the radio and all of it was picked up within hours in pickups by friends of the cops. I remember the insurance company was pretty hot about it.
