Waxman](https://time.com/author/olivia-b-waxman/)  ## Olivia B. Waxman Staff Writer Jul 8, 2014 2:47 PM UTC Thousands of gallons of Red Bull spilled onto Interstate 95 in central Florida after two tractor-trailers crashed into each other Monday night, the [Associated Press reports](http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US%5FODD%5FRED%5FBULL%5FCRASH?SITE=MOCAP&SECTION=AMERICAS&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT). No injuries were reported from the incident, which occurred when a truck carrying more than 30,000 pounds sideswiped another truck near Rockledge, a city about an hour southeast of Orlando. Sounds like a worst nightmare to anyone who drinks Red Bull for a morning pick-me-up. **MORE:** [Lithuania Is Banning Red Bull For Some Reason](http://time.com/102991/lithuania-red-bull-ban/) **MORE:** [Social Media Campaign Takes Aim at Red Bull](http://time.com/2894272/social-media-campaign-takes-aim-at-red-bull-following-teens-death/) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2966013/thousands-of-gallons-of-red-bull-spill-onto-florida-interstate/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2966013/thousands-of-gallons-of-red-bull-spill-onto-florida-interstate/"},"headline":"Thousands of Gallons of Red Bull Spill Onto Florida Interstate","datePublished":"2014-07-08T14:47:11.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:11:28.486Z","description":"More like an energy halt than an energy jolt","url":"https://time.com/2966013/thousands-of-gallons-of-red-bull-spill-onto-florida-interstate/","keywords":["Newsfeed","U.S."],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdd5693a31c11a306/69869ad11eebf703da371c64/red-bull.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
