Wreck Flattens Oreos; No Trace of Girl Scouts

Posted May 19, 08 4:38 PM CDT in US 

(Newser) – An Illinois freeway got an unscheduled repaving this morning when a truck crash dumped 20,000 pounds of Oreos onto I-80, the Chicago Tribune reports. Police are still investigating what caused the big rig to hit a median, so no word on whether the driver (who was unhurt) had eaten more than his share of the treats—or if he'd been ambushed by Girl Scouts.
