Soda pop topples as light rail train hits semi truck

SEATTLE - A mountain of Mountain Dew spilled Friday in South Seattle as a light rail train sliced through a semi trailer, cutting it in half.

Crews responded to the scene of the crash, at Martin Luther King Jr. Way and S. Holly Street, at about 9 a.m. after receiving a report of a collision.

Officials said the light rail train was southbound and had the green light when the truck driver attempted to turn in front of the train.

The train crashed through the truck's trailer, causing hundreds of cases of Mountain Dew to spill into the street.
 
Anyone near Mountain Dew, with its fantastic caffeine content, will have no trouble waking up for the morning rush. When I need a serious booster and am tired of coffee grounds, it's a nice big cup of yellow energy without ice. Of course that might cause me to get manic, but that's another thingy.
