PORK RIND CALAMITY - Man wrecks big rig while choking on spicy snack Published April 4, 2011 By Associated Press BLAINE, Wash. -- In another bizarre case of distracted driving, a Washington State Patrol trooper says the driver of a FedEx tractor-trailer rig lost control of his truck on Interstate 5 after choking on some spicy pork rinds. The rig then jackknifed and came to a stop in a muddy ditch. Trooper Keith Leary says 42-year-old Edward Sutherland of Mount Vernon suffered minor injuries in the July mishap. Leary says the man was driving his rig southbound from Blaine, when he began choking and veered from the southbound lanes across the median into north-bound lanes. The truck did not hit any other vehicles.
