Beautiful accident: orange paint spilled on freeway
bill says: "Truck hauling orange paint [near St. Louis, Missouri] spills it on the road leaving a 3 mile streach of road a lovely hue of bright orange -- there is a link to video too."
LinkApparently, a truck carrying orange paint sprung a leak, and just kept going. The orange stripe starts around Highway 203 (near Gateway International Raceway) and goes to about 4th Street in East St. Louis, a distance of more than 3 miles.

LinkYour story on the red paint spill is very similar to what happened in Massachusetts a couple of months ago. A truck carrying red dye for coloring bark mulch spilled it's load - cars spread the dye for nearly 3 miles! Check out this picture from Autoblog.
