Ironically, DiGiorno Pizzas Being Delivered Spill All Over Highway
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas highway officials shut down westbound lanes of a cross-country interstate for four hours so crews could pick up pizza.
An 18-wheeler containing DiGiorno and Tombstone frozen pizzas scraped a bridge support and sliced open its trailer Wednesday, spilling the pies across Interstate 30 in front of the Arkansas Department of Transportation office just south of Little Rock.
Agency spokesman Danny Straessle said the bridge suffered only cosmetic damage. He says "there were some people shaken up" but that no one was hurt.
The westbound section of I-30 was closed for four hours and was closed eastbound for an hour too while crews cleared away the mess.
Straessle says the pizza sauce, the cheese and pepperoni, plus some spilled diesel left a "slippery spot."
