A shipment of thousands of chopsticks fell on Interstate 580 in California, causing disruption on the stretch.
A highway in California was disrupted after thousands of chopsticks were spilled in the first week of February.
A section of Interstate 580 was blocked until the product was removed. “It turns out someone turned the highway into a giant game of pick-up sticks!” commented the California Highway Patrol on Instagram.
“Unfortunately, this means a local restaurant might be without silverware tonight,” they joked.
“Let this be a reminder to properly secure your load! Don’t let your cargo make an unexpected detour—it’s dangerous for everyone and a headache for us,” the agency warned.
Images captured by the Patrol show chopsticks scattered across the road, with one officer assessing the situation. Authorities did not specify when the highway was cleared.
