Headline: Tanker Spills Liquid Chocolate Onto Highway

Caption: Calling Willy Wonka! A tanker full of liquid chocolate spilled its tasty cargo on Monday (14 Jan). The vehicle rolled over on the I-40 highway near Flagstaff, Arizona. Arizona Department of Transportation explained: "There is a river of chocolate blocking/flowing in the westbound lanes of I-40 at milepost 211, east of Flagstaff. A tanker truck carrying 40-thousand gallons of liquid chocolate rolled over. This will be a sweet cleanup! They later updated the important details concerning the amount of the sweet treat: "The tanker was actually carrying about 40,000 lbs/3,500 gallons of 120 degree liquid chocolate according to the bill of lading." Bart Graves, Arizona DPS Media Relations Specialist, told CNN: "A latch that connects the main truck with the trailer detached, causing the tanker to roll over." One smiling transport worker was pictured having the unusual job of pumping the liquid chocolate from the tanker into the median so it could be lifted onto a tow truck.
