In an unusual early‑morning event on I‑57, a Semi‑truck overturned and dumped 46,000 pounds of apple sauce onto the highway near milepost 76 in Illinois. The spill started around 4:38 a.m. and sent streams of golden sauce across two lanes, causing a traffic jam that lasted for several hours.
According to Illinois State Police, the single‑vehicle crash halted traffic until about 8:45 a.m. When video footage and photos were released, the images showed the sauce covering the road in thick, golden pools—an amount that could fill roughly 184,000 four‑ounce cartons.
Warning: No injuries were reported in the accident, even though the slick scene created a dangerous driving environment. Authorities have not yet determined what caused the truck to spin out, but the incident has raised questions about transporting large quantities of liquids on interstate highways.
Drivers heading south on I‑57 were advised to stay out of the affected lanes until police cleared the area. The police also urged drivers to keep a safe distance and use caution as the road was still slick with sauce.
This event is a reminder that unexpected hazards can surface on the roadway—whether it’s a truck derailment or a dessert‑like disaster—and that quick police action and clear communication can help keep motorists safe.
