Red Street

When someone says, “We’ll paint the streets red with blood…”, I don’t think they meant this.

This is truly nuts.

((Lowell Massachusetts is in the north central part of the state, miles removed from the bogs of the Cape. The orange hue that coated route 495's northbound lane did make for a colorful nighttime drive, however messy it ended up being. A tractor trailer carrying dye intended for mulch deposited some of its cargo on the highway after the load shifted.))

The only story I have close to this was on 71 to Ohio, an old dump truck partly had its rear wagon door open and spilled metal shavings all over the highway. The driver didn't know it and continued to drive as more metal fell out of his truck. The metal nearly popped everyone’s tires behind him; basically every car behind him was pulled to side and had more than one flat tire. I was heading to school and couldn’t believe what I was seeing. (BTW, the dump truck guy got arrested.)

Anyway, some of the comments below the picture seem to confirm that this was real.
