Here we go again…
A trucker was passing through Arkansas when he became distracted by a GPS device and crashed his rig, according to The Associated Press.
The accident, which occurred near the intersection of U.S. 278 and Arkansas 24 in Camden, hurled jars of pasta sauce into the road on Monday.
Camden Police Sgt. Cory Sanders told Arkansas Online the accident occurred at around 3 a.m.
The driver was reportedly headed for Dallas when the incident occurred. Sanders said that while focused on a GPS unit the driver crossed the center line, attempted to correct his mistake, and wound up on the grass median.
The truck then rolled, spilling its contents.
According to the officer, the driver was briefly trapped in the truck. He suffered minor injuries in the crash.
“Lots of pizza sauce,” Sanders told Arkansas Online. “Everything’s good to go.”
Less than two weeks prior to this saucy catastrophe, another trucker crashed an 18-wheeler into an overpass on Interstate 30 in Arkansas, covering the pavement with Digiorno and Tombstone pizzas.
Arkansas Online reported that it took crews several hours to clean up the mess left after the incident. The road was closed in both directions during that effort.
No one was injured in that particular accident, though Arkansas Department of Transportation spokesperson Danny Straessle told AP there were “Lots of pizza fatalities.”
A similar such accident occurred on Aug. 2, involving a tank car full of bourbon on Interstate 40.
The Daily News attempted to reach out to the Camden Police Department, but did not receive a response.
