Just after 11 a.m. Monday, employees of Oscar Mayer were driving one of the company's promotional Wienermobiles on an Illinois highway when the driver hit another car. No one was injured.
Video taken after the collision showed two people hotdoggers climbing out of the passenger-side door and hopping down to safety, as the tow truck crane arrived to remove the overturned Wienermobile.
Oscar Mayer, a Chicago-based packaged meat producer, stated they are grateful that everybody involved is safe, offering ongoing support for their Hotdoggers, appreciating local authorities' support.
In 1936, Carl Mayer, the nephew of the company's founder, developed the idea of a 13-foot metal hot dog on wheels as an advertising gimmick for Oscar Mayer.
