Alfredo sauce covered Interstate 55 in Memphis, Tennessee, on Tuesday afternoon after a tractor-trailer crashed. Jars of Five Brothers brand Alfredo sauce spilled onto both sides of traffic, causing delays during rush hour. Cleanup required a bulldozer to remove sauce and broken glass, and lasted for over six hours.

It wasn’t the only Italian food staple to be lost this week: On Monday, a truck on Interstate 80 in California lost its shipment of 150,000 tomatoes, causing a major traffic delay. In some places, the tomatoes piled up to two-feet high.
