Well, we go from something that's supposed to be really good for you to the spill that occurred on a Pennsylvania highway.
Hot Dogs, hot dogs everywhere, and not one to eat. Hundreds of hot dogs clugged up a major highway in Pennsylvania after a tractor trailer crashed on Interstate in eighty three, just north of the Maryland border. Witness Patrick Adams.
Oh my god, that is insane.
The truck scraped a concrete divider, ripping open his trailer, scattering boxes and boxes of hot dogs across the road right at the end of morning rush hour. Cruise scooped up the hot dog in a front loader, with one first responder saying they didn't realize just how slippery hot dogs can be. Four people were injured, although none of the injuries are considered life threatening. I'm Lisa Dawire.
Cyanobacteria has been found in the Charles River. It's around the mass Ave Harvard Bridge areas, and that's forcing the closure of any water activities around those parts. Prolonged exposure to the algae can make people and their pets sick. Ted Benford is the executive director at Community Rowing in Boston and says these warnings happen starting around this time of year, when the river starts to flow a little less, water, temperatures are a little warmer, and that results, unfortunately in
more algae. There is no set time when these warnings will be lifted, but the city says it could last for weeks. Mega Million's numbers drawing last night.
