Trucker blames Wendy's chili for crash
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOWELL, Mass. (AP) — Police say a lumber truck crashed into a Massachusetts home after the driver was knocked unconscious when he choked on chili from Wendy’s.
Lowell police say Eric Gremm reported that he choked on the chili when the truck hit a bump, causing him to pass out. The flatbed truck veered off the road and slammed into the foundation of the home.
The 59-year-old Tyngsboro resident was taken by ambulance to a local hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
Police say he could be cited for eating while driving.
I've certainly eaten many a meal in the Grizzmobile but I generall try to keep it simple. Taco Bell is usually pretty easy to scarf down in the truck. Burgers are a bigger challenge but still doable. One thing I've never had the nads to try is chili. You've got to hold the cup with one hand and the spoon with the other. That leaves only the elbows for steering and that's a tricky game. So don't eat chili and drive. You might destroy someone's house.
