LINKS: A truckload of cheese

By Erica

It seems like most of our "links" posts are about cheese accidents in the news, and here's another!

Yesterday morning in Minnesota, a truck driver fell asleep at the wheel and crashed his semi into a Ford Explorer. None of the passengers suffered any life threatening illnesses, so perhaps the most upsetting part of the crash was that the truck was carrying 17,500 pounds of cheese!

The Department of Transportation called garbage trucks to the scene to remove the massive amounts of cheese from the interstate (I-90, in case you were curious). It took five hours to clear away all that cheesey goodness.
