Hot dogs spill across interstate after tractor trailer crash to clog commute for steamed motorists
A Pennsylvania State Police spokesperson said that a tractor trailer ran into some mechanical issues along Interstate 83 on Friday, just north of the Maryland state line, which caused it to crash into another vehicle.
The crash caused the truck to brush up against the concrete dividers, causing the trailer to be forced open. When that happened, numerous hot dogs spilled out of the truck.
"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.
Officials said four people were treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Dauberman said he learned something from the incident.
"I can tell you personally, hot dogs are very slippery," Dauberman said. "I did not know that."

Troy Traffic Jam car show featured 300 vehicles: Some of the best at event
Most traffic jams are a nuisance and annoying to deal with, unless you are at the Troy Traffic Jam. Each August, the city of Troy hosts its largest car show of the year. This year, the event took place Aug. 3 at the Columbia Center, an office park with a massive lot that can fit all the vehicles and festivities. With over 300 registered vehicles entering the show, panels with engineers and designers from automakers and an award show at the end, there was much to do at this event. TechTalks with GM, Ford and professional racing drivers The day was filled with panel discussions about cars, including one with Chevrolet, which hosted a talk about the Corvette ZR1 and ZR1x. The speakers were Corvette Chief Engineer Josh Holder and GM Performance Engineer Drew Cattell. They spent a lot of time riffing on how their new car was able to set the record for the fastest lap by an American vehicle around the Nürburgring Nordschleife in Nürburg, Germany. John McElroy, the moderator and host of "Autoline," said, "It's sort of become the de facto track that if you want to brag about how fast your car is, that's the track you go to."

The Insurance Savings You Expect Great Rates and Award-Winning Service Affordable Auto Insurance, Customized for You More: 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X first to top $200,000 In another panel, from Ford Motor Co., Chief Program Engineer Greg Goodall and Design Manager Anthony Colard discussed what it took to build the Mustang GTD. This car was inspired by the Mustang GT3 that won the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona in January. As a road legal version of the race car, some changes were made so it would be compliant with road safety regulations and qualify as a street vehicle. Another discussion featured the President of the Motor Sports Hall of Fame George Levy, member of the Yenko racing family Lynn Yenko Zoiopolous and race car engineer Jim Kinsler. But the cars that showed up for the event were perhaps the biggest stars of the day. Check some out: 1 of 1 Over 10 million mustangs have been built according to Ford. There have been many trims and special editions over the years, but Lang Ware has a one-off Mustang. Ware's 2014 Ford Mustang GT was customized for SEMA (Specialty Equipment Marketing Association) in 2013, an auto show in Las Vegas focused on cars with custom builds. The car was modified by Classic Design Concepts and due to a last-minute invitation to the show, the company had just three weeks to prepare the car. The car kept it's original black paint while copper accents were added to the exterior and wheels, which led to the car earning the nickname "Bad Penny." Other modifications include a Ford racing supercharger that raises the horsepower to 624, three-piece wheels, a custom audio system and upgraded suspension components. Since SEMA in 2014, more power has been added and the car is now able to reach 760 horsepower, equal to the most recent Shelby GT500 models. Ware says "It's a combination of custom as well as power. That's what I really want." While saying the latest generation Mustang isn't his style, he's really fond of the new GTD. Cars and clothes Some people buy a car that fits their personality — and even their wardrobe. Jeri Swafford brought her sunverse yellow 1993 Mazda Miata and displayed it with a bit more enthusiasm than most at the event. She sat on the hood with a beach ball and "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" by Brian Hyland playing through a speaker as she wore a yellow bikini to match the song and her car. When asked about her favorite thing about her ride, she said, "I love everything about her. She's small, she fits me, I can reach the pedals. Her gear shift is awesome." Old car with a new engine Jeff Ray owns a 1964 Ford Mustang GT that was featured in the Detroit Free Press in May 2004 shortly after he bought it. The car currently has 97,000 miles, but has a new engine built by Patriot Performance that delivers 425 horsepower and has 7,200 miles on it. He had the motor built and shipped to him without oil and had it installed in Michigan. The car also had a new T5 Tremec transmission added to go along with several other upgrades. Ray said, "Everything behind the radiator is brand new. From the motor to the headers, even the driveshaft." Movie inspired horsepower Iconic cars from movies are sometimes released and sold to the public so fans can buy them — if they can get their hands on one. Dr. Fred Wasserman owns a 2009 Mustang Bullitt and uses the car to combine his favorite car with one of his favorite movies. The car has 315 horsepower and comes only with a 6-speed manual transmission. The highland green paint is the same color as the original car in the film. Ford has released Bullitts in honor of the film Steve McQueen plays the character Bullitt in the movie, a detective who is at odds with the mafia and trying to help take them down. The original 1968 Mustang Bullitt was involved in a high-speed chase in the film. Wasserman said, "You've got to see the movie. Then you'll know what everybody talks about and it's probably one of the greatest car chase scenes ever filmed."

Increased commercial vehicle parking fines in effect in Howard County
Newly approved fines for commercial vehicles caught parked for extended periods in certain areas are now in play, but police say there's also a grace period for these drivers. Last month, the Howard County Council approved increasing the fines for commercial vehicles parked in residential areas and along highways for more than six hours. Howard County Council vice chair, Opel Jones, initially proposed the bills increasing the fines. The penalty increased from $33 to $250 on the first offense, $500 on the second offense, and $750 on the third and any other subsequent offense. To give commercial drivers a chance to adjust, Howard County Police posted on social media that these drivers will only get a warning on the first offense until Sept. 7. During a public hearing for Jones's bills in June, Howard County Police testified that many commercial motor vehicle drivers were willing to pay the old fine rather than pay for somewhere to park. Several business owners testified in support of the bill during that hearing as well, saying these drivers are blocking parking and, in some cases, leaving trash and other things behind.
