A tractor trailer overturned and poured out hundreds of cans of Modelo beer along Garvey Avenue in West Covina Thursday morning.
Evidence of alcohol at the scene Fortunately, not a factor. Big rig was hauling cases of tall cans.
Speed+Rain=Crash
The driver survived and was uninjured because he WAS wearing his seatbelt. #beer #bigrig #freeway #crash #chp #californiahighwaypatrol #seatbelt pic.twitter.com/GT8mra1Ird
