An Oscar Mayer Wienermobile was involved in a crash in Chicago, flipping onto its side on the Tri-State Tollway (I-294). The incident occurred Monday morning when the Wienermobile collided with a Hyundai sedan, causing it to roll over. Fortunately, none of the “Hotdoggers” inside the Wienermobile or the driver of the Hyundai were injured.
The Wienermobile involved was the Mini version, also known as the “LTL LINK.” After the accident, the Hotdoggers had to climb out of the passenger side door to reach safety. A crane was required to flip the vehicle upright, and it was eventually removed from the scene on a flatbed tow truck, leading to significant traffic delays. The front of the Wienermobile sustained considerable damage, necessitating repairs.
