A stretch of California highway was closed for nearly nine hours while crews worked to clean up a sticky syrup spill.
The California Highway Patrol said a truck overturned Monday in the westbound lanes of the 10 Freeway in Fontana, causing hundreds of gallons of syrup to spill out into the roadway.
Caltrans crews attempted to use an absorbent material to clean up the syrup, but it proved to be too sticky, so a water truck was summoned to hose down the roadway.
The westbound lanes were closed for nearly nine hours during the cleanup operation. The road was finally reopened at about 8 p.m. Monday.
