MORRIS, Ill. (AP) - Got milk?
Police say a trailer loaded with 14 tons of double-stuffed Oreos overturned Monday morning, spilling plastic sleeves of cookies into the median and roadway.
Illinois State Police Sergeant Brian Mahoney says the truck's driver was traveling from Chicago to Morris on I-80 around 4 a.m. Monday when he fell asleep at the wheel and slammed into the median.
Mahoney says the force of the crash ripped open boxes of the cookies, but their plastic wrappers kept them from covering the ground.
The crash about 50 miles southwest of Chicago remains under investigation.
Mahoney says no charges have been filed.
There were no injuries and the roadway has since been re-opened .
