From the San Jose Mercury News:

Two lanes of Highway 101 open after vodka spill (ed-What? We don’t capitailze headlines anymore?)
Bay City News Service

Two lanes of southbound U.S. Highway 101 in Sunnyvale reopened at about 9:15 a.m., following a crash in which a big rig transporting vodka overturned and spilled the product onto the roadway, city spokesman John Pilger said.

The big rig overturned shortly before 8 a.m. at North Mathilda Avenue, spilling vodka and fuel and temporarily closing all southbound lanes.

Emergency personnel have extricated the driver of the big rig, but Pilger did not know the driver’s condition.

(Hat tip to the commenters over at Ace of Spades HQ, because they like to keep track of these things over there.)

If it’s Val-U-Rite, well then no big deal. If it’s a truck full of Belvedere or Ultimat, we have a national tragedy here….
