A truckload of prescription drugs and syringes were scattered across a highway in Texas Friday after a collision between two tractor trailers.
The accident occurred at around 12:05 a.m. in Cut and Shoot, Texas.
According to ABC 13, two semi trucks were traveling along State Highway 105 when the rig hauling oil field equipment rear-ended the semi truck hauling the medications, ripping open the trailer and leaving a trail of medicine and syringes across almost 100 yards of the roadway.
