An Oscar Mayer Wienermobile was involved in a crash along a busy Chicago-area highway on Monday morning, crashing and flipping on its side.
The Illinois State Police told Fox News Digital that the collision happened just after 11 a.m., on Monday along the northbound lanes of the Tri-State Tollway in Elmhurst.
Police said the Wienermobile struck a Hyundai Sedan, which was also traveling northbound, causing the driver to lose control and overcorrect, which caused the car to roll over.
The northbound right lane was shut down for the traffic crash investigation and all lanes were reopened nearly an hour later, police said.
