Worse than carcasses: truck carrying 48,000 gallons of milk crashed and overturned on GA-316 involving several other cars and trucks, causing numerous injuries
It has been hot and humid as hell lately. I’m not sure whether or not it’s at all record-setting, a fact that I’ve pretty much been endlessly working on things involving a lot of physical movement, or a combination of all of the above, but it’s been hot, humid and miserable as shit over this summer.
That being said, if there was absolutely anything at all that would be a miserable truck-full-of-food-spill, milk would undoubtedly have to be at the top of that list.
On its own, milk is already a volatile, diarrhea-inducing agent, now imagine it spilled all over the roads, baking into the surfaces under the hot and miserable Georgia sun? Rapidly souring, going rancid, and cooking its way into the asphalt and soil. Bacteria growing like a petri dish, and the sharp odor soon to emanate from everything that the shit spilled all over.
Frankly, I actually hesitated on whether or not milk should be added to be buffet lost to the Georgia roads. But technically milk is food, and food spilled from trucks on Georgia roads fits the criteria of getting mentioned on the brog, so here we are.
In all seriousness though, it’s good that none of the aforementioned injuries were life-threatening. People dying have a tendency to sour the mood faster than the milk probably was once spilled all over the place. No mention of how this happened too; I’ve driven on GA-316 before, it’s a flat straight road pock-marked with stop lights every now and then, but it’s really a basic parkway where one wouldn’t imagine such devastating incidents to occur, yet here we stand. But inherently, that’s the underlying irony behind all these stories that I chronicle, they’re usually a result of a truck driver being stupid.
Thank goodness it’s way the hell up in Gwinnett county, and the part of it that’s pretty much in South Carolina, because I can’t imagine what this area is going to smell like a day later and until the next Florida-like spontaneous rain shower washes it all away.
