Truck Crash Spills Alfredo Sauce All Over Memphis Highway—And The Jokes Are Truly Delectable

A tractor-trailer accident in Memphis, Tennessee forced the closure of a portion of Interstate 55 on Tuesday evening—August 30—as alfredo sauce spilled out onto the highway. No one was injured in the crash.

Fox8 reported the accident happened just before 5 p.m. local time. Tennessee Department of Transportation traffic video footage shows the white sauce covering the three interstate northbound lanes.

The jokes were inevitable.

This was social media gold for brands that use alfredo sauce.

Or might help with the aftermath.

Then the puns.

Oh, the puns.

Some saw the song opportunity and ran with it.

Also, poetry.

Others commented on the odd coincidence of this accident and one that spilled tomatoes all over a highway elsewhere in the country.

People are ready to help out.

Just let them know.

Now we just need a linguine truck, an olive oil train and a garlic van to collide and we'll be all set.
