Not your every day road debris...

CHESAPEAKE, Va. — A tractor-trailer filled with peanut butter and jelly crashed on an off-ramp of Interstate 664 Saturday causing a sticky mess that kept the roadway closed for five hours, the Virginian-Pilot reported.

The driver of the tractor-trailer filled with packets of peanut butter and jellies was charged with reckless driving after his truck lost control around 11:50 a.m. as it tried to exit onto U.S. 58, the paper said.

"Your hands were just covered with jelly," Sgt. C.J. Plaza of the Virginia State Police told the paper. "I had grape, apple, peach preserve, raspberry, strawberry."

It took 10 workers more than five hours to clean up the mess, the paper said.
