A woman was taken to a nearby hospital with non critical injuries – it is not clear if she was the truck driver. Reporters in the area say you could smell the sauce in the air due to the sheer quantity of spilled product.
The spilled sauce spread across all southbound lanes and even a few northbound lanes. Cleanup of the mess continued until after 11 p.m. that evening. The roadway has since been cleared, but no further information has been released.
