They say you shouldn’t cry over spilt milk, but can the same be said for thousands of cans of spilt Natural Light? Maybe not, but someone’s certainly going to miss the cases of brew left strewn across a Florida highway following a big rig crash this morning.

A semi-truck carrying cases of Natural Light overturned around 7:30 a.m. today, spilling its sudsy cargo across a Florida highway never to see the bright lights of retail stores, the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Florida Highway Patrol investigators say the accident on Interstate 75 occurred when the truck’s 23-year-old driver became distracted by his dog.

Authorities say the truck collided with the center median before overturning, sending its content across the road, leading to the closure of one lane of traffic for about three hours.

Thankfully, neither the driver, nor his furry companion were injured in the accident, but we can’t say the same for the cans of Natural Light which will, for better or for worse, never have the opportunity to be consumed.
