Thousands of hot dogs spill across busy highway

Saturday, 2 August 2025 05:03

A truckload of hot dogs has spilled across a busy road in Pennsylvania.

A mechanical problem meant the truck scraped along a concrete divider - ripping the trailer open and scattering the sausages across the highway.

It was the wurst Fry-day commute that motorists in Shrewsbury had to contend with for years.

Crews mustard up the courage to begin a morning rush hour clean-up - and didn't mince their words.

"Once those leave the truck and hit the road, that's all garbage, and it's still pretty warm," Shrewsbury Fire Company Chief Brad Dauberman said.

"I can tell you personally, hot dogs are very slippery," he added. "I did not know that."

A front-end loader was used to scoop up the wieners and drop them into a dump truck.
