SAN ANTONIO — A rollover accident involving an 18-wheeler shut down East I-10 at Loop 1604 in east San Antonio after thousands of pounds of cucumbers were spilled on the highway.
A TxDOT spokesperson told KENS 5 the wreck happened just before 9 p.m. Tuesday, but there was no word on injuries.
More than 32,000 pounds of the vegetable were spilled onto the freeway.
The mess took several hours to clean up; drivers were encouraged to find an alternate route.
