Chili Chokin’ Trucker Crashes Into Home

Police in Lowell, Massachusetts, said a lumber truck crashed into a home after the driver was knocked unconscious by a small chili from Wendy’s. Eric Gremm, 59, said he choked on the chili when the truck hit a bump, causing him to pass out as his rig veered off the road and slammed into the home. Gremm said emergency workers at the scene told him that he had passed out, but he couldn’t remember losing consciousness. Gremm was taken by ambulance to a local hospital for treatment of minor injuries. Police said he could be cited for eating while driving.
