You heard of oil spills, but this is a story about a tomato spill.

A driver of a large truck carrying thousands of tomatoes crashed into another vehicle and hit the highway’s center barrier, early Monday morning at about 5 a.m. Another car was also involved in the accident about 35 miles south of Sacramento. 

About 300,000 tomatoes were spilled all over the road. 

It is unclear who counted them.

Interstate 80 near Vacaville in California became the first locality to make tomato sauce on the highway.

Drivers between San Francisco and Sacramento had to drive through a lot of mushy slushy tomatoes, and traffic was all backed up, before the road was blocked off. Cars driving through the mess were having skid control issues, that caused other problems, including tomato-splashed vehicles. 

No major injuries were reported, but the tomato truck driver and two other individuals were treated at a local hospital. 

Three eastbound lanes and and a westbound lane were covered with crushed tomatoes that workers from the Department of Transportation had to clean up. Before they could start the massive job, they had to remove the tomato truck.

Although not a fun incident, it sparked a lot of new comedy material on Twitter. 

“Well holy Tomato, my commute is smashed!” one person wrote.

If there’s any update on the story, we will ketchup later.
