Sept. 6 (UPI) -- The Washington State Patrol said a stretch of road was closed for several hours when an overturned truck covered the roadway in fuel -- and potatoes.
WSP District 6 said on social media that the truck overturned on State Road 262 in the area of mile marker 17, near the O'Sullivan Dam in Grant County.
No one was injured in the crash, but the truck spilled its load of potatoes onto the roadway.
The WSP said the road was closed for several hours because the vehicle's fuel also leaked onto the road, causing a safety hazard.
The roadway was fully reopened Tuesday evening.

Lot of taters just got mashed. Driver’s gonna get scalloped for this.

I don’t remember whether it was lettuce or cabbage heads on the highway one day when I was a kid. The old man couldn’t resist squashing more than necessary as we made our way through the carnage.

Eric Clapton had a song that may have been about something like this. The song was
Peaches and Diesel I saw Clapton at Lakeland (FL) civic center in 1978 and this was the first song played.
