Some lanes of a highway in Illinois’ Franklin County were closed while crews worked to clean up the mess left by a semi truck that overturned and spilled its load of applesauce.
Illinois State Police said the single-vehicle crash happened about 4:48 a.m. Monday on northbound Interstate 57, at mile marker 76.
No injuries were reported in the incident, but applesauce spilled out onto the roadway.
Mount Vernon-based Rick’s Towing was summoned to the scene to assist with the clean-up. The business said about 46,000 pounds of applesauce spilled out onto the roadway — the equivalent of 184,000 4-ounce applesauce containers.
