Thank goodness that the driver of a truck that overturned on a highway ramp on Interstate 440 was not injured on Wednesday in Raleigh North Carolina that spilled gallons of steak sauce which caused drivers to find another route to take while crews were called up to clean up the message around 1:45am. The crews did clean up the sticky sauce on the highway and clear the truck from the highway. At least the accident happened overnight and not during rush hour in Raliegh North Carolina.

Steak sauce prices are going to up I bet. Thank goodness the accident wasn't during heavy traffic.

That is what I am thinking myself that sauce prices will increase.

I'm glad the driver wasn't hurt and the highway crew got the mess cleaned up.

That's a lot of good steak sauce and money down the drain.

I'm glad that the driver was not injured and that the steak sauce was not spilled during rush hour.

In later news, the 440 was quickly renamed as the A-1.

Accidents certainly cause a lot of problems on the roads, and a lot is at steak here, for drivers, with messy cargoes to drive more responsibly too. It sounds like he took the ramp too quickly, with such a heavy cargo on board, and suffered the consequences. Although the real source of the problem might never be found, or owned up to, by the driver.

That is likely what happened even though driver fatigue may have been a factor.

@Deepizzaguy Yes, driver tiredness is another big factor, as these truck drivers drive for too long a hours, and are pushed to work these long hours too.
