Police in Kentucky have posted a tweet mourning the loss of a doughnut truck, which was destroyed after catching fire. The driver of the Krispy Kreme Doughnuts vehicle noticed smoke billowing from the back as he drove through Lexington. While no one was hurt in the fire, all the doughnuts in the back were reportedly destroyed.

It proved too much to bear for the local police. Lexington Police Department posted images online of heartbroken officers at the scene of the fire in the south-east of the city, near the corner of Man O' War Boulevard and Pink Pigeon Parkway.

Police departments around the country were quick to send messages of support to their colleagues.

6. They are scrumpdillyicious!

I've known several people here in town that make a ritual of going to the main store on Bardstown Road to buy them fresh at a certain time of day when they're right out of the cooker. After any trip out of town, that place is the first stop.

Now, that's obsessed!.......

The ones bought at Kroger and other outlets really are not as good. Similar to buying fresh bakery bread vs that from a grocery store, I suppose.

5. My nephew is a Lexington city cop

I know he's in mourning! He was once quoted in the local newspaper on National Doughnut Day: "I'm a cop. Everyday is Doughnut Day".
