Part of I-44 closed because of massive mayonnaise spill

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. | A section of Interstate 44 in southwest Missouri was closed for several hours after a tractor-trailer crashed and spilled its load, creating a giant slick of mayonnaise.

Springfield police closed the eastbound lanes of the interstate near U.S. 65 for several hours Saturday night as crews cleaned up debris from the tractor-trailer crash, including about 40,000 pounds of mayonnaise.

Lt. Scott Leven told The Springfield News Leader that the truck driver lost control, taking the rig through a cable guard and into the median.

He said walking on the spilled mayo was like walking on ice.

No injuries were reported, and other vehicles were re-routed before the cleanup was completed.

Also, if a mod sees this, can you change my spelling the title from "do" to "due"? Thanks.

I'm going to refrain from making dirty jokes about Aesop/Grundy Rocks/Needs a Better Name.

Somebody better warn Paula Deen that her delivery will be running a little late.

Wish I was there. I would've gotten on my knees to lick it all up.

Good... Mayo is the most disgusting condiment. I'd like to see the entire worlds supply be wasted.
