Fireball whiskey covered a highway in Arkansas this week following a semi-truck crash, KATV reports.
Two tractor-trailers collided Thursday on Interstate 40 in North Little Rock, causing one to spill hundreds of mini-bottles of the cinnamon-flavored alcohol.
The Arkansas Department of Transportation told the station the crash occurred at approximately 10:45 a.m.

The agency said crews used a mechanical broom to sweep the broken bottles and other debris from the road.

He said one truck’s cab caught fire and at least one person was treated for non-life threatening injuries.
