Coors Light beer is strewn across a highway after two semitrailers collided on a Florida highway.
A US highway had to temporarily close after a semitrailer carrying cases of Coors Light crashed and turned the roadway into a silver sea of beer cans in Florida.
The multi-vehicle crash occurred shortly after 6am in the southbound lanes of Interstate 75 about 30 miles (48 kilometers) north of Tampa, the Florida Highway Patrol said in a news release.
The pileup began when one semitrailer clipped another while changing lanes, officials said.
That forced other semis to brake, but one failed to stop and collided with a pickup truck and another one of the stopping semis.
