Pork Spill
A tractor-trailer carrying pork products collided with a box truck in Virginia, spilling about 20 tons of frozen pork onto U.S. Highway 13. The crash happened around 4 a.m. yesterday near Machipongo, Virginia. One person was taken to a hospital, while crews worked to clean up about 41,000 pounds of frozen pork, Virginia State Police said. The rig went around a curve, jackknifed and then went across the median about the same time that a box truck was heading south. The driver of the box truck swerved and hit the trailer of the rig head-on, causing debris to fly across the road along with the pork from the tractor-trailer. The tractor-trailer driver was charged with failure to maintain a lane of travel. All lanes of U.S. 13 were closed until 11 a.m. while crews were cleaning up the bacon and other debris.
