A truck carrying the capsules was involved in an accident after swerving to avoid vehicles that were stopped to wait for riders in the Tour d’Alsace bicycle race to pass near Sierentz, a town near the German border, south of Mulhouse. “He managed to avoid them but it forced open the entire right side of his trailer, spreading out Nespresso capsules over 400 to 500 metres,” said Eric Chevallier, head of the regional highway patrol division. Accident entre 3 camions sur l'#A35 dans le sens Bâle > Mulhouse au niveau de la sortie #Sierentz. I think people saw they were Nespresso capsules, and given their price they said ‘let’s help ourselves’,” Chevallier said. Nobody was hurt and no fines were issued, he said.
