Where the Streets Are Paved With...Beer?

DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) -- Ice-cold beer was flowing in a Davenport neighborhood, but it was on a city street and heading for the city's storm sewers, police said.

A beer delivery truck driver was ticketed after his trailer smacked into a low-clearance bridge Tuesday.

The accident ripped off the top of the Budweiser truck's trailer, collapsing the trailer and spilling beer onto the street.

The driver, from Dubuque, was ticketed for disobeying a traffic sign that warns of the 11-foot bridge, police said.

It's the ninth time a truck has struck the bridge since Jan. 2001, authorities said.

Crews spent most of the day cleaning up the accident that left beer trickling toward a storm sewer and frozen on the city street, police said.
