You thought cell phones were a distraction?

The driver of a semi rig was reaching for a bag of potato chips when he lost control of his rig on I-94 on the west side of Ann Arbor, Michigan State Police say. Fortunately, no one was injured, but the truck "sort of exploded," police said.

Hmm, now had it been followed by a truck loaded with dip...

Well, in this case the "dip" was behind the wheel.

Alright, then.  I think we're done here.  Objections?  Okay.  Good night, everyone.
