Hot dog spill shuts down highway in Pennsylvania commuters' wurst nightmare
Crews were stuck with a job they did not relish — rolling up the scattered tube steaks for disposal.
'Once those leave the truck and hit the road, that's all garbage, and it's still pretty warm,' Shrewsbury Fire Company Chief Brad Dauberman said.
State police said the tractor trailer had an unspecified mechanical problem on Interstate 83 a few miles north of the Maryland line as morning rush hour was wrapping up, causing it to push into a passenger vehicle. When the truck scraped along a concrete divider, its trailer was ripped open and the contents scattered.
Four people required medical attention, Dauberman said, for injuries that police said were not life-threatening.
A front-end loader was used to scoop up the hot dogs and drop them into a dump truck.
Dauberman said emergency crews couldn't help but see the humor in the situation, and his daughter texted him a photo of a hot dog-themed T-shirt.
'I can tell you personally, hot dogs are very slippery,' the fire chief said. 'I did not know that.'

Video Of NFL Star Jaycee Horn's Car Crash Has Emerged
Video Of NFL Star Jaycee Horn's Car Crash Has Emerged originally appeared on The Spun. The Carolina Panthers had to practice without star cornerback Jaycee Horn this Wednesday. That's because he was involved in a car accident. Although the accident isn't expected to keep Horn off the field for long, he will miss the team's preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns. The coaching staff revealed that Horn is dealing with a left thumb injury. "I'm glad that Jaycee was OK," Panthers head coach Dave Canales said. "He did have to have a few stitches in his left thumb area. So they got that all cleaned up and sutured up. ... It doesn't seem like anything else happened, but you know we're just gonna kind of evaluate him each day." Horn went on social media to reassure fans that he's doing fine. The South Carolina product wrote, "I'm straight ! Nun major thank god." On Wednesday night, footage of the alleged accident involving Horn surfaced on Instagram. The video that's going viral appears to show a Mercedes-Maybach SUV crashing into a pickup truck in Charlotte. Check it out: Horn, the No. 8 pick from the 2021 NFL Draft, has racked up 153 total tackles, 26 pass break-ups and five interceptions since going pro. The Panthers signed Horn to a four–year, $100 million extension earlier this offseason. His deal included $46 million. Suffice to say, Carolina wants its $100 million cornerback on the field for Week 1.

Toyota cuts full-year operating profit estimate by 16%
TOKYO (Reuters) -Toyota Motor cut its full-year operating profit forecast by 16% on Thursday as an appreciating yen and higher U.S. import tariffs weighed on its financial results. The world's biggest automaker cut its full-year operating profit forecast to 3.2 trillion yen ($21.7 billion), down from a previous outlook of 3.8 trillion yen, on the heavy fallout from the tariffs, higher material prices and currency fluctuations. Toyota said it expects the U.S. levies to reduce its profit by 1.4 trillion yen for the entire fiscal year. It had previously estimated a hit of 180 billion yen for April and May, but it had not issued a full-year projection until now. For the April to June first quarter, Toyota reported an operating profit of 1.17 trillion yen, down from 1.31 trillion yen a year earlier, but above the 902 billion yen average of seven analyst estimates compiled by LSEG. ($1 = 147.2300 yen)

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Shocked After NASCAR Team Cuts Truck Series Driver
Dale Earnhardt Jr. Shocked After NASCAR Team Cuts Truck Series Driver originally appeared on The Spun. Just like countless NASCAR fans, Dale Earnhardt Jr. was shocked by a move Niece Motorsports made earlier this week. Niece Motorsports announced Monday that Truck Series driver Kaden Honeycutt was relieved of his driving duties. This move was made in the middle of a season where he ranks sixth in the Truck Series standings. It has already been determined that Connor Zilisch will take over the No. 45 DQS Solutions & Staffing Chevrolet Silverado for this Friday's race at Watkins Glen International. In the official statement from Niece Motorsports, it was revealed that Honeycutt signed with a different team and manufacturer for 2026. On the latest episode of Earnhardt's podcast, "Dale Jr. Download," he addressed Honeycutt's fallout with Niece Motorsports. He can't remember the last time a driver was let go mid-season. "Honeycutt is 73 points above the cut line for the playoffs. I don't remember hearing anything like this before, where a guy got a new job or next year, so you fire him," Earnhardt said, via On3. "I'm sure it's happened, but it feels like this is something that maybe went down in the '70s or '80s. It's nothing that's happened recently." Earnhardt also said that he has no issue with Honeycutt signing with another team for the 2026 season. "I have zero problem with a driver getting a different deal and going somewhere else. Now, you'd like some loyalty, you'd like some commitment. You've given Kaden this chance, Niece has given him this chance to get into the Truck Series. Well, he used that opportunity, and he's going to go somewhere better and different." So what's next for Honeycutt? He'll represent Halmar Friesen Racing for the final eight races of the 2025 Truck Series season.
