Following a mishap in which hundreds of donuts fell out of the back of a delivery truck in Allen Park, Michigan late at night last week, forcing local police to spend an hour cleaning them up off the road to prevent a traffic hazard from the glaze, global donut company Krispy Kreme decided to apologize and show gratitude to the cops by sending them 40 boxes of donuts, the Detroit Free Press reports.
“We thought we’d thank them,” Krispy Kreme spokesman Jack Farmer told the Free Press, adding that they were glad the accident happened at 1:30 AM on Friday and not during rush hour when drivers would’ve mocked the cops for picking donuts up off the road. The police department made fun of themselves too at least, writing “While investigating a traffic hazard, it was found a delivery truck lost its load. The road was cleared but most of the Krispy Kreme donuts were lost. Our officers are still grieving but will press on,” in a Facebook post following the donut accident.
