Dallas just got turned into a big omelet.
A truck driver spilled almost 30,000 pounds of eggs when his 18-wheeler smashed into an overpass near the Texas city’s downtown during Monday morning rush hour.
The driver was traveling westward on Interstate-30 when he struck the bridge, causing the massive splatter, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram said.
Clean-up crews quickly scrambled to divert traffic as they cleaned up the eggy mess, shutting down I-30 for several hours. According to officials, fuel had also leaked on road.
The driver appeared to be unharmed.
Eggland’s Best brand said in a statement that the number of eggs on the truck was valued at around $90,000 and that they will “expedite to replace what was lost,” assuring stores the incident would not affect supplies.
The Texas Department of Transportation said traffic was backed up for nearly two miles and that they will inspect the bridge for any damage.
Dallas County sheriff’s are currently investigating the cause of the accident.
