Beer spill in Munich causes traffic chaos

In Munich, thousands of beer bottles intended for pubs and bars have fallen off a lorry, shattering across a busy road and causing traffic delays for hours.

It was a painful sight for beer enthusiasts as firefighters washed the spilled alcohol down the drains while clearing up the broken glass.

The significant spill caused road disruptions in the German city, obstructing the city center for numerous hours.

A firefighter remarked: ‘You often find a few people trying to sneak away with a bottle or two from an accident, but there’s shattered glass everywhere, and it’s extremely hazardous since the remaining cargo could fall at any moment.

‘While you might enjoy a beer, being buried under an avalanche of it is the last thing you’d want.’

This incident is not unique, as there have been previous occasions where vast amounts of beer have been wasted.

In 2005, a truck swerved and overturned, spilling nearly 2,184 crates of Grolsch beer on the Mississauga highway in Ontario, Canada.
