Big-Rig Carrying Coors Light Tips in Dublin

A big rig carrying beer – cases of Coors Light to be exact – tipped over on its side early Thursday morning, injuring the driver and tying up traffic in Dublin for the morning commute.

The crash was reported on Interstate Highway 580 near Foothill Road about 3:30 a.m., according the California Highway Patrol. Two lanes were closed for the rest of the morning and reopened at about noon, according to the CHP.

The driver was transported to Eden Medical Center for minor injuries, authorities said.

Crews worked in the dark to remove the cases of beer, which mostly appeared unharmed. There was also Pabst Blue Ribbon on board.

The beer was being transported from Los Angeles to Richmond.
