Last week it was ketchup, this week it's Lego. A crate of the toy bricks had been strapped to the roof of a family's car in West Virgina but came loose and burst all over the highway, reducing traffic to one lane as the other was closed while crews cleaned up the mess. There must have been a load of Lego there to legitimise a road closure and clean up crews.
You have to feel sorry for the kid whose Lego it was though. According to his mother, who took responsibility on their local transport authority's page, 'Those Legos belonged to my 11-year-old son. They were in totes strapped to the top of the Durango, they fell off when the strap came loose. He cried, it seemed like forever.' Poor thing. He probably had to watch it all get sweet up and shoveled away, which somehow makes it feel worse.
