An Oscar Mayer Wienermobile was involved in a crash and overturned on a busy highway near Chicago Monday morning.
Illinois State Police told Fox News Digital the crash happened just after 11 a.m. Monday in the northbound lanes of the Tri-State Tollway in Elmhurst.
Police said the Wienermobile struck a Hyundai sedan that was also traveling north, causing the driver to lose control and overswerve, causing the vehicle to overturn.
The right lane of northbound traffic was closed for investigation into the traffic accident, with all lanes reopening about an hour later, police said.
