Iconic Vehicle Got Into A Scary Accident On A Popular Illinois Highway

It's been a rough week for the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. Apparently this past Monday, the iconic vehicle was involved in a crash in Illinois.

I have a family member who's obsessed with visiting this thing. No joke, she's probably seen it in person at least over a dozen times. I'm sure right now she's greatly concerned after recent events involving the Wienermobile.

According to reports, the Wienermobile and another car were headed north on I-294 when the Wienermobile rolled over after hitting the other car and losing control.

Thankfully, everyone involved seems to have been reported as safe and with no injuries. The incident left the right lane of the highway closed for just over an hour.

Take a look at these pictures of what happened.

With a vehicle that massive, it's scary to think about it rolling on such a busy highway. It's a blessing that no one was harmed.
