If you were caught in a traffic snarl at the Tri-State Tollway (I-294) and Eisenhower Expressway (I-290), you've got beer to thank. A Miller Lite semi-tractor trailer overturned while taking a turn on the on ramp and the top of the truck ripped open, spilling thousands of beer cans and bottles. Things have since been cleared up and the driver suffered only minor cuts and bruises. [Sun-Times]
