Overturned big rig spills eggs onto Sacramento highway, causing delays
SACRAMENTO – A big rig carrying eggs overturned on Business 80 in Sacramento Thursday morning, causing traffic delays and a messy scene.
The crash happened on westbound Business 80 at Watt Avenue around 2 a.m. The CHP said the driver reached back to grab a water bottle and overcorrected, causing the big rig to overturn.
Traffic was backed up in the area for most of the morning as officials had to cut traffic down to one lane.
A tow truck responded to the scene and raised the trailer, spilling the eggs onto the roadway. Crews were still working to clean up the spill at 8 a.m.
It's unknown when the westbound lanes will fully reopen.
The driver said he is OK.
