One driver made a big mi-steak.

A cattle truck loaded with cows rear-ended a semi-truck loaded with burritos on a Nebraska highway Friday, making for a crash of beefy proportions.

“It was such a messy scene, we really don’t want to taco bout it,” the Nebraska State Patrol quipped.

Authorities said the crash happened around 10:45 a.m. on Interstate 80 near Lincoln, the state capital.

The burrito truck had slowed for traffic, but the cattle car collided with the rear of the semi.

The cattle truck — carrying 60 cows — veered off the highway and rolled into a ditch.

“Both drivers were able to walk away from the crash,” patrol spokesman Cody Thomas told News-Press Now.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the passengers on either truck.

Though most were unharmed, a “small number” of cows died in the crash, Thomas said.

The burritos, however, were massacred — dozens of boxes were torn apart, spewing the destroyed Mexican wraps across the roadway.

The beefy mess was so chaotic that officials shut down a mile stretch of the interstate for five hours to clean it up.
