Truck driver has lost his marbles

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A trucker has lost his marbles in the Indianapolis area.

State police tell TV station WXIN that a truck carrying 38,000 pounds of marbles lost its trailer January 21 on southbound Interstate 465, near Pendleton Pike. The marbles were on the shoulder and in the median.

There were no injuries, but a lane of traffic in that area was affected by the cleanup during much of the day.

Glass recycling facility...... Yes likely.

Looks like the color of the marble you always find in a spray paint can - light green. The marble that rattles around to help mix the paint up before you start spraying the can of paint.
