No other vehicles appear to be involved, but many accidents are caused
by over maneuvering the truck or sudden breaking to avoid collision or sudden
change in lanes or shifting truck load.
Tomatoes spilled onto the highway,
causing quite a mess, and crews were still working to clean the roadway during
the morning rush-hour commute.
