PHILADELPHIA — PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Some lucky carriage horses in Philadelphia got a summertime treat after a truck spilled a load of watermelons on the street near Independence Hall.
The driver of the truck, Elwood Hutt Jr. of Salisbury, Maryland, told WPVI-TV he had planned to sell the melons to vendors on Sunday when he said he took a corner too fast and the load fell onto 6th Street.
