After Bourbon, Pizza, Here's What Spills On An Arkansas Highway
Police say the truck driver became distracted by a GPS unit, crossed over the center line and overcorrected, rolling over.
CAMDEN, AR — First it was bourbon. Then it was frozen pizzas. Now it's spaghetti sauce covering an Arkansas highway.
This time, the driver of a spaghetti sauce truck became distracted by a GPS unit in Camden early Monday and crossed over the center line, said Camden police Sgt. Cory Sanders. When the driver realized what had happened, he overcorrected and rolled over near the intersection of U.S. Route 278 and state Route 24, police said.
The truck was traveling to Dallas. Police said the driver suffered minor injuries in the crash.

On Aug. 2, a tank car filled with bourbon crashed on Interstate 40 in eastern Arkansas. A week later, motorists on Interstate 30 had to leave the highway at Little Rock after a truck accident left frozen pizzas strewn about.
