NJ roads have not been kind to libations lately. Last month, a tanker full of Scotch overturned in Woodbridge and caught fire. Today, a tractor-trailer carrying Coors and Coors Light crashed on I-78 in Clinton.
According to WABC 7, the tractor-trailer carrying the beer sideswiped another truck (a flatbed carrying steel pipes), "which was parked on the side of the road." Two people were taken to the hospital.
Cases of beer are strewn on the highway and the investigation is ongoing.
