TORONTO (Reuters) - A truck hauling 2,000 cases of beer flipped over and unleashed a sea of suds onto Canada's busiest highway on Wednesday, in a scene that could have been lifted from the Canadian cliche handbook.
The early morning accident brought rush hour traffic to a standstill on highway 401 in north Toronto, as rescuers worked to free a woman trapped in the small car that collided with the tractor trailer.
"Believe it or not with this crushed car, the young lady driving it is going to be okay," Ontario Provincial Police Sgt. Cam Wooley told CP24 news.
"We've got sand down now absorbing the beer," he added.
In Canada, beer is closely co-advertised with the national obsession of hockey and an enduring national stereotype is the McKenzie brothers, the 1980s-era comedy team of Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas who swilled beer and ended every sentence with "eh?."
Police said the beer-soaked sand would be scooped into bins and returned to the supplier for destruction.

"Get in the truck!"
"No way, eh...you're gonna crash again"
"I won't crash this...this is a BEER truck."
"Oh yea...right".
You can't pin this on the McKenzie brothers.

A beer truck flipping over is a cliche because beer is advertised with hockey and the McKenzie brothers drank beer and ended every sentence with eh?
What a hoser.

Well, let's face it.
They had to clean the spill quite quickly because of the fear of black ice forming and causing cars to slide off the highway and damaging the igloos on the roadside. Concern was also high for the seals and penguins that frequent the 401 but ignore the "Penguin and Seal Crossing" areas.
Fortunately the mounties were on the scene and managed to avert any disasters.

Okay - I knew I was missing something. That's better.

Out of context. Bevis nor Butthead are Canadian.

2000 cases is about 1 hour job for a modern, middle sized bottling line so I don't think there's need for panic :)

For sure, why not just hose it into the ditch, the solution to pollution is dilution.

It would have been cheaper and faster to round up a posse in Texas to handle the problem.
