VACAVILLE, Calif. (KOVR) – A big rig spill had a freeway in California covered in tomatoes.
Thousands of them were crushed when they spilled on I-80 and caused several collisions Monday.
Officials said a tractor-trailer lost its cargo after it lost control and hit another car. Then it slammed into the center median, spilling its load.
Tomatoes covered the roadway, causing a major road hazard.
One car got stuck in the spill, which led to a chain reaction of crashes involving four vehicles.
California Highway Patrol said one person suffered major injuries, while two others were treated for minor injuries.
