One Million Nuggets Have Perished in a Highway Truck Collision in Melbourne

Get them while you can because nugget supplies are probably dwindling.

Chicken nuggets are life - Anonymous.

A truck carrying around one million nuggets has collided with a stopped car in the emergency lane on the Hume Highway in Melbourne's Epping.

Thankfully, the car's driver and his dog got away relatively unscathed and the truck driver suffered minor injuries.

Victoria Police's Sergeant Pickering told ABC that it was a "pretty good outcome all things considered."

But for some, chicken nuggets are family and when family perish in a tragic event, you mourn. That is why today is a day of mourning for chicken nugget lovers all over Australia and potentially, the world.

The nuggets were allegedly heading to McDonald's and while Maccas has made no comment about this disaster, one can assume that this will be a bit of a setback for those hoping to get some delicately fried pockets of happiness.

So, if you need your nugget fix this weekend, it's best to get them in as soon as possible.
