A tractor trailer struck an overpass column on Interstate 30, causing its trailer to rip open and spill a load of frozen pizzas across the interstate.
It happened on Wednesday, August 9th, on I-30 near the Chicot Road exit at approximately 1 p.m. in Little Rock, Arkansas.
According to THV 11, the tractor trailer was traveling west on I-30 when it struck the Mabelvale overpass structure, ripping open the trailer and leaving a mess of frozen pizzas scattered across the highway.
