A major traffic incident occurred on US-60 in Arizona when a semi-truck carrying 40,000 pounds of Gouda cheese lost control and crashed. According to reports, the vehicle clipped a guardrail before veering off the road and landing face-down in a nearby ditch.

The crash resulted in the entire load of cheese being spilled at the scene. While the specific condition of the driver was not detailed in the initial reports, the incident caused significant disruption due to the sheer volume of the cargo involved. Local authorities were tasked with managing the cleanup of the site, which involved clearing both the wreckage of the truck and the substantial amount of dairy product scattered across the area. No other vehicles were reported to be involved in the collision, and the cause of the truck clipping the guardrail remains under investigation.
