You might expect to see litter, trash or even roadkill on the side of a highway.
But a 3,600-pound hot dog?
Just after 11 a.m. Monday, employees of Oscar Mayer were driving one of the company’s promotional Wienermobiles on an Illinois highway when the driver hit another car, lost control, overcorrected and rolled the vehicle on its side, the Illinois State Police said.
Video taken after the collision showed two people — “hotdoggers,” as the company calls them — climbing out of the passenger-side door and hopping down to safety.
Later, a tow truck crane arrived, scooped up the Wienermobile and carried it away.
