CAMPBELL COUNTY, Va. — According to WSET, a tractor-trailer crash spilled its cargo, including cans of White Claw, on Thursday.

According to the Virginia State Police, a tractor-trailer swerved to avoid another truck, causing the driver to hit another truck in the process.

“It seemed like traffic was stopped, and he tried to brake,” said Trooper Austin Tosh. “I don’t know what happened. I can’t make any speculation right now, but he tried to miss the truck but did make contact. It’s a little bit more involved since the tractor-trailers are traveling all over the country, so they’re carrying different types of products. So, you can have anything from alcohol to, I think the other track trailer has auto parts, so you’re dealing with different types of cargo.”

No injuries were reported in the crash.
