Sounds like a job for Super Troopers.
Or maybe it was because of Super Troopers.

It would be making the best of a sticky situation.

 

[Brian Finch]

That's how we roll.

Sounds like the truck...pre released....If only it was this syrup.

Shucks! I was waffling on heading up that way.

NEWPORT, VT — Where are some really big pancakes when you need them?

Emergency crews responded to a sticky situation Monday as a barrel of maple syrup had to be cleaned up after falling off a truck on I-91.

Vermont State Police said Interstate 91 North at exit 27 in Newport was closed briefly around 4: 20 p.m. when the sweet stuff fell off a truck. The fire department was called to the scene for a cleanup.

No crash was involved and troopers were able to reopen the highway, but advised drivers to drive slow as traffic poured through the area.

Newport is just south of the Canadian border.

Newport is just south of the Canadian border.

You think it could have been Quebeckers pulling off a second Heist?


Talking about sending bears to clean up, we did some rolling recently...
