PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Two cars, either “road raging or playing in the lane to the left” caused a 53-foot box trailer filled with 28,000 pounds of ice cream to lose control and flip into the ditch along I-5 South near Salem, the Oregon State Police told KOIN 6 News.
The crash happened Saturday afternoon near Milepost 250, officials said. The truck driver, a 48-year-old man from Bakersfield, California, was the only person in the truck and wasn’t hurt.
Investigators said a black Honda and a blue Mustang were the cars involved. The Mustang driver cut off the truck, which caused the trucker to slam on the brakes, swerve and tip.

A tow truck was called to the scene and unloaded all the ice cream before towing the semi and the trailer.
