270kg of weed scattered across US highway after car crash

Sometimes it pays to be a police officer...

The term 'highway' has never been more appropriate after a car crash left 270kgs of weed sprawled out across a US road.

According to the police report, the incident occurred at 7:15am local time in Callaway County, Missouri, on Interstate 70. A semi-truck tried to avoid a previous crash, and the driver of a 2007 GMC Sierra ran into the back of the big rig, with another semi then hitting the pickup.

Fortunately reports state that no one was seriously injured, but the crash did result in a big ol' explosion of weed, because the Sierra was utterly packed with it.

When the Missouri Highway Patrol arrived on the scene, they found packaged bundles of weed all over the interstate.

Police collected the weed, which took “more than one patrol car” to transport back to the station and weighed in at an impressive 270kg. They later arrested the two men for drug trafficking, which is a first-degree felony.

Think you're having a bad day? Just remember it could always be worse...
