The southbound lanes of Interstate 215 at the Highway 91 interchange in Riverside were closed during the Wednesday morning rush hour after a big rig overturned around 2 a.m., spilling hot, steaming "cheese byproduct" onto the roadway.

Four people, including the driver of the truck and a teenager riding in a car involved in the accident, were seriously injured.

Battalion Chief Mike Fisher of the Riverside Fire Department said the cheese byproduct, which came from Golden Cheese Co. in Corona, smelled foul and was "flowing like a river."

At least two people suffered severe burns to their feet from the hot liquid.

So are you telling me that this truck was heated...that they go around driving large trucks full of Nacho Cheese Goo that have propane burners running--Moving Nuclear Waste would be safer than that shit. (my word verification was "wnglefhf"-- if you eat that cheese goo the sound that emanates from your butt is wnglefhf!)
