Two lanes of southbound U.S. Highway 101 in Sunnyvale reopened at about 9:15 a.m., following a crash in which a big rig transporting vodka overturned and spilled the product onto the roadway, city spokesman John Pilger said.
The big rig overturned shortly before 8 a.m. at North Mathilda Avenue, spilling vodka and fuel and temporarily closing all southbound lanes.
Emergency personnel have extricated the driver of the big rig, but Pilger did not know the driver's condition.
The left two lanes on the southbound side have reopened, but authorities are advising commuters to take alternate routes if possible, as traffic is still slow in the area.
Northbound traffic is not affected, Pilger said.
The California Highway Patrol issued a Sig-alert at 8:07 a.m.
Any excuse for a party in Sunnyvale, eh?
What a shame. I bet they're jealous. :O)
Did people get out of their cars to lick the pavement?
Probably. I wonder if anyone even showed up for work at Yahoo.
Lot of drunk worms in Sunnyvale today ;-)
Just throw a match down and it will be gone pretty soon! :P
