A truck carrying deli meat collided with another truck carrying bread on a New Jersey highway Friday morning, causing a sandwich-like spill on the busy roadway.

The trucks collided on Interstate 287's southbound lanes in Piscataway shortly before 6 a.m., causing backups that stretched several exits.


Chopper 4 footage from over the scene shows first responders cleaning up spilled bread and meats. The trailer portion of one of the trucks appears to be destroyed, and its contents are spewed about the roadway.

By about 7:30 a.m., most of the cleanup had been completed.
