Seriously, do they just let anyone drive that thing? What an idiot of a driver.

Heh, guess it's really only your national tragedy. Keep your secrets, then.

Lmao. It's a link to an article about the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile being crashed yesterday. It bumper-tapped another car, and the driver freaked out and overcorrected right into a roll-over. Thankfully nobody was hurt.

Screen grab for the blocked:

Oscar Mayer Wienermobile crashes on tollway, police say

The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile was involved in a rollover accident on the Tri-State Tollway near west suburban Oak Brook late Monday morning, Illinois State Police said.

The famed hot dog-shaped vehicle was traveling north near Roosevelt Road about 11:10 a.m. when it hit a Hyundai sedan that was also traveling north, state police said. The wienermobile lost control and overcorrected after hitting the second vehicle and rolled over onto its side, according to state police.

The tollway’s northbound right lane was shut down from the time of the crash until about 12:25 p.m. while state troopers investigated. No injuries were reported, police said.

I thought they recruited College kids to drive it.
