PULASKI COUNTY, Ark. — A section of Interstate 40 east of Little Rock was closed for hours Thursday after a truck carrying whiskey wrecked and spilled its cargo across the highway.
No life-threatening injuries were reported, but it took highway officials more than two hours to clean up the mess.
Photos from the scene show mini-bottles and boxes labeled Fireball scattered behind a crushed tractor and burned-out truck cab.
Looks like we’ll be working this for a while. Updates as they are available. pic.twitter.com/KEaXIpPj2y

UPDATE: unknown, non-life threatening injuries. Our crews are using this mechanical broom to clear the Interstate. The inside lane should open to traffic momentarily. #arnews #artraffic #CNAtraffic pic.twitter.com/TdRXqBv497
