Cattle truck rear-ends burrito truck in Nebraska
One driver made a big mi-steak.
A cattle truck loaded with cows rear-ended a semi-truck loaded with burritos on a Nebraska highway Friday, making for a crash of beefy proportions.
“It was such a messy scene, we really don’t want to taco bout it,” the Nebraska State Patrol quipped.
Authorities said the crash happened around 10:45 a.m. on Interstate 80 near Lincoln, the state capital.
The burrito truck had slowed for traffic, but the cattle car collided with the rear of the semi.
The cattle truck — carrying 60 cows — veered off the highway and rolled into a ditch.
“Both drivers were able to walk away from the crash,” patrol spokesman Cody Thomas told News-Press Now.
Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the passengers on either truck.
Though most were unharmed, a “small number” of cows died in the crash, Thomas said.
The burritos, however, were massacred — dozens of boxes were torn apart, spewing the destroyed Mexican wraps across the roadway.
The beefy mess was so chaotic that officials shut down a mile stretch of the interstate for five hours to clean it up.
