Unscheduled pizza delivery on Interstate 30



A tractor-trailer rig carrying a load of frozen pizza wrecked on Interstate 30 at Mabelvale Cutoff about 1 p.m. today, dumping the load all over the highway. The truck apparently hit the Mabelvale overpass and that tear open the trailer. The Department of Transportation reports the driver and the overpass are OK.

Truck spills pizzas on I-30 in Little Rock, stalling traffic in both directions

A truck crash spilled frozen pizzas onto Interstate 30 in Little Rock, stalling traffic for miles in each direction.

The crash happened around 1 p.m. on the westbound highway about a mile east of Interstate 430. The truck reportedly hit the Mabelvale Pike overpass, tearing apart the vehicle's trailer and spilling diesel fuel and its load.

No one was hurt.

"But there's a lot of frozen pizzas laying out on the interstate right now," Arkansas Department of Transportation Department spokesman Danny Straessle said from the scene. "Lots of pizza fatalities."
