Oct. 21 (UPI) -- The California Highway Patrol warned Fresno-area travelers of "a berry sticky situation" resulting from a truck losing its load of blueberries into the roadway.

CHP Fresno said on social media that the blueberry spill occurred Monday evening in the southbound lanes of Highway 99, near the eastbound Highway 180 interchange.

The CHP shared photos of berries on the road, as well as the sticky, purple mess caused by berries being run over by vehicles.

A California Department of Transportation crew was summoned to the highway to clear the jam from traffic.

I started reading the headline and thought, “Oh, great — now blueberries are bad for your health.” I thought it was going say something like “Blueberries create sticky traffic jam in your arteries.”

Bravo.

I didn’t have time to post the reference as a tribute to that great artist.

Now the classic song will be going around in my head.
