Massive chocolate spill shuts highway after tanker truck crash

A Polish highway was shut down on Wednesday when a tanker truck full of liquid chocolate crashed and spilled its contents across the road.

Cleanup efforts on the highway were being hampered because the chocolate was quickly cooling and solidifying on the six-lane surface.

Crews at the scene said that they needed to ship in hot water to melt the chocolate and wash it away.

Senior brigadier Bogdan Kowalski with the fire brigade of Slupca, a town in western Poland, said, "cooling chocolate is worse than snow."

TVN24 reported from the site of the accident that the driver was taken to a hospital with a broken arm. The accident occurred in the morning when there was little traffic and nobody else was hurt.

He should have spilled it in our driveway. Our 18 grandchildren would scarf it up in no time at all.

How about shipping in trucks of ice cream and whipped cream. And a few casks of maraschino cherries. might as well make the best of it.

They may have found the lost German chocolate.

If that chocolate had been in my possession...it wouldn’t have made it from January until now, LOL!

I DO remember that theft, though. Good catch! :)

Couldn’t they just hire a bunch of goats or cows to lick it up? On second thought, that much candy would probably give the animals Tummy Trouble, creating an even bigger mess.
How about some Mealworms?

I’m thinking of the Smothers Brothers bit where a guy falls into a vat of chocolate and starts screaming, “Fire!” because nobody’d come if the yelled, “Chocolate!”

The fat content in the chocolate would make it like trying to drive on an oil slick.
