Over 30,000 Pounds Of Chocolate Melt Onto Highway

A truck carrying over 30,000 pounds of chocolate caught on fire in the middle of a busy highway, causing a massive spill of melted chocolate.

Commuters were in for a not-so-sweet surprise on Friday morning when a large cargo truck carrying a large shipment of chocolate caught on fire due to a mechanical issue with the vehicle’s brakes.

Although firefighters were able to eventually extinguish the fire, their problems were only just beginning.

Police noticed that seemingly all 30,000 to 40,000 pounds of chocolate in the truck had melted and was spreading across the road, causing a traffic jam.

Hours after the spill occurred, the California Highway Patrol posted to X to report that they were still cleaning.

Authorities said that no injuries were reported from the truck fire.
