Cheese Closes Roadway for Nine Hours

In Chicago this morning, a tractor-trailer swerved across the Chicago Skyway to avoid hitting a car. The truck spun out, turned over, broke in two. The contents of the truck spilled all over the road and closed the road for nine hours. The truck was carrying mozzarella cheese, which then covered the road and the surrounding area. Crews worked for hours and hours cleaning up cheese, some of it spilled from it's packaging and it had to be picked up by hand. The weather was pretty warm today. I bet that smelled great, mmmmm hot asphalt and cheeese. Though it could be worse, ever smell blue cheese? Imagine tons of warm blue cheese baking on a high way, gross.

Here's the story:
