Oh, the Humanity!!
I think this person qualifies for Dtrini's 'Daily Idiot' file for this mindless act.
Such a waste....such a waste. I think there should be a law in Canada to punish those who would help destroy such a viable and important national symbol.

Woman charged in major 401 crash
No serious injuries in clash between truck, car
CURTIS RUSH
STAFF REPORTER THESTAR.COM
A 19-year-old woman from Mississauga has been charged with careless driving following an accident this morning that dumped 2,184 cases of beer onto Highway 401, forcing its closure during the morning rush.
OPP Sgt. Cam Woolley said the woman, who is in hospital with minor injuries, was served with the papers this morning.
Police allege she swerved out of her lane and into the path of the Molson beer truck at 6:30 a.m., causing the rollover in the eastbound lanes. The woman's flipped over as a result.
Woolley credited the woman's seatbelt and the car's airbags with saving her life.
Molson spokesperson Nathalie Masse said the driver was hauling the load for delivery in Oshawa. He has a "stellar record" of more than 25 years, Masse said. The truck driver wasn't injured in the crash.
Police said the road would be cleared in time for the afternoon rush.
The remaining beer will be returned to Molson, for destruction, authorities said.
The accident happened in the eastbound express lanes of the 401 just east of Highway 400, in the area known as the “basket weave.”
The effects of the accident rippled out from the scene and caused major back-ups on a number of major roads and highways.
The entire load of beer was spilled, creating what one police officer described as a "sea of beer."

pssssst...your link doesn't work. It asked me to register for the Toronto Star.
the rat bastards
We watched this on Breakfast Television this morning. It was a very sad sight to see beer (even horse-piss quality Canadian)spilled all over the highway. It is even sadder to know that the stuff not spilled has to be destroyed because of health concerns. I say, sign me up as a volunteer tester.
The POS Honda she was riding in was apparently so mangled that they called in the Air Ambulance service because they thought she'd be mushed inside. As it turns out, the various safety devices saved her stupid ass and she went to hospital via normal ground transport.
IDIOT!
2 days before your post I got in a debate as to what the Darwin awards were. If they were some guy on a website, an actual awards show of some kind or what. Thank you for providing the answer even though I didn't ask.
