Ramen Noodle Truck Crash Spills College Staple All Over I-95

A truck hauling Ramen noodles crashed when the driver fell asleep at the wheel near Rocky Mount, North Carolina, on Wednesday, spilling its load on Interstate 95.

"I thought I could make it down to the truck stops in Kenly, and I didn't quite make it, the noodle-truck driver, Larry Scholting told WTVD-TV. “I kind of drowsed off, and next thing I knew I had taken out the guard rail."

The truck broke apart when it hit a bridge support, scattering packets of noodles along the highway. The wasted noodles were taken to a landfill, WTVD-TV said.

No one was injured in the crash.

The highway was closed for more than six hours after the wreck.

Twitter users made light of the story.
