Watch: Hot dogs spill on highway causes commuter's wurst nightmare: ‘They're everywhere!'
Eyewitness footage shared by a bewildered commuter on Friday (1 August) shows the frankenfurters scattered across Interstate 83, with one traveller saying: 'Oh my god, they're everywhere.'
The collision occurred after the trailer carrying the hot dogs had an unspecified mechanical problem during morning rush hour, causing it to scrape into the side of a passenger vehicle before it hit the concrete divider.
Four people involved in the crash required medical attention for non-life threatening injuries.
The crash caused significant traffic disruptions in both directions on the interstate.

Warning issued as new social media challenge gains traction
A dangerous social media trend, the 'door-kick challenge,' involves individuals aggressively kicking doors, often causing damage, and uploading videos online. Authorities and online safety experts are warning parents that this prank could lead to severe consequences, including serious injury, death, or felony charges for participants. Law enforcement officials, particularly in states with 'Castle doctrine' laws, caution that homeowners might mistake the prank for a home invasion and respond with deadly force. Incidents have been reported across several US states, with examples including significant property damage and two Florida teenagers facing felony burglary charges. Experts highlight that social media platforms incentivise dangerous content for 'clout,' normalising such pranks, and note that similar past trends have resulted in tragic fatalities.
