42,000 Pounds of Avocados Ruined After Driver Overturns Truck Into Texas River

[TexasTowelie]

Sit down for a moment, for this bit of news is quite sad.

A truck carrying 42,000 pounds of avocados crashed into a river near Junction, Texas, over the weekend.

Lovers of avocado in all of its beautiful forms will be sad to know that a driver overturned his truck Saturday night, throwing the vehicle and the green goodness of its cargo into the South Llano River.

Footage shared in a Facebook post shows the truck being pulled out of the river, an effort that took more than an hour.

The driver was not hurt, though the avocados were definitely ruined.

But hey, none of my business. As long it's between a consenting adult and a fully ripe avocado ....that's your thing.
