Following an accident involving five vehicles and a pickup, images and videos from early on Wednesday morning revealed thousands of Coors Light beer cans strewn across a roadway close to Tampa. According to UPI.com, the incident took place at about 6 am.
The major route had to be closed for hours to allow for cleanup before being restored to traffic later that day. The inner lanes were opened to traffic, according to local media reports, at roughly 8.30 am, around two or two and a half hours after the collision, reported the Independent.
A thread was shared on the official Twitter handle of Florida Highway Patrol Tampa on Wednesday along with the pictures of beer cans scattered on the highway.
