Oct. 9 (UPI) -- A crash on a California highway caused an hours-long "traffic yam" when one of the vehicles lost its load of sweet potatoes into the roadway.
The California Highway Patrol's Merced post said on social media that traffic on southbound Highway 99 in Livingston was brought to a standstill when a crash involving a truck caused the vehicle to drop hundreds of sweet potatoes onto the roadway.
Travelers were advised to find alternate routes while officials worked to clear the tubers from the highway.
Traffic resumed after a clean-up operation that lasted for several hours.

“There is some good news: The sweet potato crop is grown in North Carolina, for the most part, and its supply has been better, helping keep the prices from jumping.”
Um, probably NOT for 2024! :(
(That data was 2023 prices.)

In a related story, Kalifornia is bracing for a huuuuge influx of those evil white Irish. News of the potato crash, especially photos and videos, have prompted a huuuuge increase in air and boat travel from Ireland.
Kalifornia is creating its second Gold Rush, as stock in Yukon Gold has also risen.
