A truckontruck accident on a Missouri freeway has drawn a lot of social media attention because of the cargo being transported. The truck dumped no less than 200kg of marijuana on the road last Wednesday (20).

Accident involving three vehicles
The accident happened around 7:15 a.m. on Interstate 70, according to police. According to one report, a pickup truck was trying to avoid a collision with another vehicle, but collided with the back of a large truck and a pickup truck.
Upon arriving at the scene, the Missouri Highway Patrol arrived at the scene where packages of marijuana were found scattered across the freeway. According to police, the vehicle carrying the load was the pickup truck that was hit by the truck.
The truck that struck the truck carrying the marijuana was occupied by a man and woman who suffered minor injuries, but the couple had to be taken to a hospital. Because marijuana is illegal in Missouri, police arrested the two men in the truck for drug trafficking.
