40, 000 Pounds of…
…beer spilled on the road? (I’m singing that Harry Chapin song about bananas in my head–only it was 30,000 lbs, and it was bananas, not beer.) The KCRA news story tells us that “a drunk driver” may have been behind the big rig accident that caused 40, 000 pounds of beer to spill over on the 160.
If it was a drunk driver who caused the beer-truck driver to lose control, there are questions that must be asked.
Was the alleged drunk driver just trying to get more beer? Was there actually a beer-jack going on? Was the drunk driver actually the big rig driver, who accidentally “inhaled” the beer fumes? I know it sounds far-fetched. We’ll probably never know the real story. Those of you who had your drinking straws ready to go help with clean-up–too late. All that beer is already gone…

It was a funny scene. The truck settled on the light rail tracks just past the Richards Blvd. crossing. I got an up close look at the aftermath on my way back to the Light Rail office and I saw beer cans in the cab of the truck. Luckily no one was hurt, but it was kinda funny….in an ironic kinda way.
