Now that's a crab spread

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - May 13, 2013

Except if the crab meat in question is spread over an interstate highway.

That's what happened last week in Salt Lake City.

About 37 tons of frozen crab meat spilled out of a tractor-trailer headed out of the city.

Authorities say the driver botched a turn and when the truck hit a metal guard rail, the trailer split open, chucking crustacean chunks all over I-15.

It took a while - but apparently no cocktail sauce - to clean up the mess.
