A tractor-trailer carrying 40,000 pints of vodka rolled over in Interstate 70 in Clayton, North Carolina.

And the load was so heavy that when crews tried to put the trailer back on its wheels, the bottles of booze bent the truck's body, WRAL reported.

Crews had to remove each box of vodka from the truck by hand nearly 12 hours after the crash, The Associated Press reported.

Police said that the driver, Johnathan Davis Crissy didn't secure the load and it shifted when he navigated a turn, WRAL reported.
