An unfortunate accident has occurred in the early afternoon of April 1st, 2022 (not an April Fool's Day joke) involving an oversized trailer.

Watch the aftermath of the accident here:

What Happened?

An oversized trailer was reported to have fallen off an upper flyover along West Coast Highway.

It was left overturned and engulfed in flames, emitting thick smoke.

West Coast Highway Flyover has been closed off as traffic is impassable due to scattered debris and a fallen lamp post obstructing traffic flow.

It is unclear how many casualties were involved in the accident and what caused the trailer to lose control and fall from a height.

If you don't have any idea who or what Walter Wolf Racing is, here's an excerpt from Wikipedia: "Walter Wolf Racing was a Formula One constructor active from 1977 to 1979, which won the first race the team entered.

    My inexplicable attraction to instant food

    Ready-to-eat microwaveable meals, instant noodles, plane food - these aren't typically the kinds of foods that people will spring for when given a choice.

I know, most of you would say it's the salt, seasoning, MSG, sugar and all the unhealthy flavourings that I'm hooked to. And you might be right - but I think it's more than that; there's something about eati
