Miller Time can happen anytime.

Seconds after a trooper asked a driver he’d pulled over in Las Vegas if he’d been drinking, an out of control beer truck arrived to make sure he’d been drinking enough.

“Just as I ask the question, I hear the sound that always gets the hairs on my neck standing up, of brakes locking up,” Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper Travis Smaka told KSNV.

The patrol car’s dashboard camera caught the explosion of thousands of pounds of suds that flew out of the 18-wheeler, giving both the stopped car and Smaka an unwanted taste of the High Life.

“That was one of the funny things I was thinking about afterwards,” said Smaka. “I just picked up my uniform at the dry cleaners and then I was soaked head to toe in beer!”

Proving that alcohol can do anything, the accident caused Smaka to have a change of heart and to let the driver go instead of giving him a speeding ticket.
