| Canada's 'Sad' Beer Calamity | ||
Thursday, April 07, 2005
"It is sad," Capt. Scott Logan of the Halifax Regional Fire Service ( search ) told The Daily News of Halifax. "Chances are they won't recover any of the beer." The truck, hauling 46,368 bottles of Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale ( search ), skidded to a stop against the overpass's guardrail, luckily avoiding a 50-foot plunge down to another road. The female driver was pulled out of the cab uninjured ? "more frazzled than hurt," according to Logan ? letting rescuers focus on the calamitous aspects of the disaster. "I had a tear in my eye, actually, when I was watching it," said police Constable Mark Hobeck. "It was full of beer. We were hoping a Hostess truck full of pretzels would come by, but no such luck." |
