We are proud to name as this week’s Rick and Len Show Weenie of the Week…the driver who allegedly caused the chain-reaction crash on I-41 last Thursday morning, boogering up traffic for nearly three hours.
According to Wisconsin State Patrol, the man, whose name has not been released, was driving a Chevy pickup truck that was towing a flatbed trailer and eating while driving and dropped some food on the floor. Due to being so distracted by the fallen food, the driver reportedly didn’t notice that vehicles in front of him had slowed as a result of the morning rush and couldn’t stop from slamming into the vehicle directly ahead of him, causing a chain reaction crash. Multiple cars were severely mangled but amazingly nobody was seriously injured.
The driver was cited by State Troopers for not just inattentive driving but also operating with a suspended license, open intoxicants, and possession of alcohol while operating a commercial motor vehicle. However, the State Patrol indicated that alcohol was NOT a factor in the crash, as the driver had not consumed any of it before the crash.
So,
For dropping his food in his truck which could get him sent somewhere there’s an even sharper penalty for dropping soap in the shower.
For causing the kind of accident while sober that most Wisconsinites require at least a six pack to pull off.
And for coming close to killing more people over a little bite to eat than anyone in Wisconsin since Jeffery Dahmer.
We are proud to name the food fancying distracted driver who caused a multi car crash that jammed up on I-41 for almost three hours last Thursday morning as this week’s Rick and Len Show…WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
