Around 12,000 bottles of Templeton Rye whiskey wound up all over U.S. Highway 71 in Missouri, near the Arkansas border. The truck carrying the precious cargo crashed, spilling the sweet nectar everywhere.
The crash happened about 4:45 AM as the semi failed to navigate a slight curve, went off the right side of the road striking two signs, over correcting and then rolling. The trailer was breached as it struck the signs scattering debris across the road and into the ditch. The wreckage blocked both the southbound lanes.

The driver, a female from Georgia, was uninjured according to the police. The clean up crew finished by early afternoon. No word on whether any of the whiskey was salvaged.
