Truck driver Larry Scholting dozed off while making a delivery on a North Carolina highway, crashing his tractor-trailer into a bridge support. The truck split in half and while Scholting walked away unscathed, the contents of his truck, Maruchan ramen noodles, spilled across highway 1-95.
Dozens of boxes of noodles were spilled across the highway, and much to the dismay of college students everywhere, they are no longer edible. The noodles were covered in diesel fuel and are being taken away to a landfill by the truck load.

As a result of the noodle mess, a highway detour was set up and part of 1-95 remains closed. Newsweek reached out to Maruchan for comment, they assured us they would comment on the matter later today and were pleased the driver was safe.
