A crash between two tractor-trailers in Virginia on Friday resulted in tens of thousands of pounds of meatballs rolling down the highway, officials said.
Virginia state police said the crash happened shortly after 12 a.m. as the two vehicles were traveling southbound on I-95 in Greensville County. Investigators said the driver of one tractor-trailer, Al Stenford, likely caused the accident when he veered off the road and hit a guardrail, according to WAVY.
Stanford then allegedly over-corrected the vehicle when attempting to reenter the roadway and caused his rig to jackknife, subsequently causing the trailer to detach, officials said.
