In the last several weeks there has been an unusual amount of tractor trailer accidents,one spilled chocolate all over a highway,another was booze,I think rum, which quickly got a clean up crew. The latest is by far the most bothersome as the load that was spilled was 16 tons of beef roasts. The accident occurred in South Dakota between two semis in foggy driving conditions and the driver hauling the roasts was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. The worst part of the incident was all the meat was taken to a landfill. Do they not have food banks or homeless shelters nearby? I can't think of any reason that all that meat had to go to waste,plus I imagine if it had been donated it could have been a tax write off whereas this way it will probably be an insurance claim which doesn't help feed anyone...except maybe the vultures.
