New Cars
July 15th, 2017
On November 19, 2008 a truck rolled over in Ballan (somewhere in Australia) and dumped new cars on the median. Fortunately, the driver had only minor injuries. The truck was on it’s way from Adelaide to Melbourne. The damaged cars were hauled away to be scrapped.

Zamboni
July 15th, 2017
On December 18, 2008, preparations were underway for the NHL Winter Classic at Wrigley Field on New Year’s Day. Unfortunately, one of the Zamboni’s took a bit of a spill of the end of the truck it arrived on. Fortunately, the driver and the Zamboni were OK. Scroll down for rare truck spill “video” of the incident! Although it seems more like a bunch of still images put together into a video.
Construction of the rink for this game requires 52,000 sheets of plywood, 20,000 gallons of water, and 350 gallons of paint.
Extreme Makeover Walls
July 15th, 2017
On Saturday, June 27, 2009, a truck carrying prefabricated walls to an Extreme Makeover house in Erie, PA flipped, spilling concrete and prefabricated wall panels for the new home.
In addition to the cleanup of the walls, the contractor had to rush to get new panels for the house, which must be completed by Thursday, July 2.
The road was closed while they clean up the walls.
Presumably, the spill will be featured on the Extreme Makeover Home Edition show.
Auto Parts
July 15th, 2017
On February 15, 2010, in Windsor, Canada, a tractor-trailer side-swiped a minivan, causing the truck to go out of control and overturn.
The top of the overturned truck tore open and spilled approximately 40,000 auto parts through a chain-link fence and into a bridge plaza property close to customs offices.
The minivan’s occupants, a family of four from London on their way to Florida, suffered only minor injuries. The truck driver had to be freed from the truck and was treated and released.
It took almost 8 hours to remove all the auto parts.
