What’s With The Intoxicating Spill On Arizona Highways?
Have you ever seen Final Destination? The film series follows groups of people who are stricken with visions of their own untimely deaths, and has gained a cult following since its release in 2000.
One of the most iconic sequences comes when a logging truck spills its cargo over a highway, smashing through cars and creating delightfully entertaining carnage.
Arizona just had their own taste of that medicine.
Arizona Highway Spill
Sometimes when I pass by a truck carrying something like Bud Light or Little Debbie Snack Cakes, I say a prayer, asking for it to flip just so I can make away like a bandit with more free goodies than I know what to do with.
Seems that finally happened on November 19th. At around 11:30am on the Loop 303 Freeway, a 16-wheeler overturned on the road, spilling its contents everywhere. Those contents? Thousands of "White Claws", an alcoholic seltzer that became wildly popular in the waning years of the 2010s.

The Aftermath
Luckily, this was nowhere near as bad as it could have been. The drinks were simply just empty cans, en route to a recycling center where they'd be upcycled into your next A/C unit or something.
Luckily, the event was noticed in time, and no drivers were injured. There's still no solid idea as to why the truck crashed, but an investigation is underway. Cleanup has been underway since Tuesday morning, with the efforts likely wrapping up by this point.
So folks, if you ever need a good excuse to stay that three feet away from the vehicle in front of you, now you know what you're avoiding.
