A big rig loaded with french fries crashed on the 5 Freeway in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles leaving all southbound lanes blocked by boxes of fries for several hours Thursday morning.
The crash was reported around 3:30 a.m. near Stadium Way.
Video showed the cab of the truck had somehow disconnected from the trailer.
Piles of french fry boxes were left all over the freeway prompting officials to issue a SigAlert to stop all southbound traffic while crews worked to clear the mess.
Crews were hoping to end the SigAlert around 8 a.m. but that was not the case.
The California Highway Patrol extended the SigAlert multiple times before stating at 11:15 a.m. that two lanes were open but the rest would need to remain closed while guardrail work continued.
