NWR This cracked me up
FAIRFAX, Va. -- Virginia State Police are looking for the driver of a tractor-trailer who fled after the vehicle overturned and spilled 165,000 eggs all over the Capital Beltway.
The wreck happened about 2 a.m. Saturday on the Inner Loop near Interstate 66. Police said it appeared the truck struck the guardrail and flipped. The truck driver took off before troopers arrived, according to police.
Michael Karbonski, a safety patrol officer with Virginia Department of Transportation, said it took cleaning crews 11 hours to sop up the mess before the Beltway and the ramp to I-66 could be reopened.
Crews used about 250 pounds of kitty litter to absorb the eggs, then swept the mess into Dumpsters.
Karbonski said it looked like a large omelet on the road.![]()
