Memphis interstate closed after semi crashes and spills Alfredo sauce

Mere days after a semi truck spilled over 150,000 tomatoes on a California interstate, a similar but separate incident left part of a Tennessee interstate covered in another popular topping more commonly found on al dente spaghetti than on asphalt: Alfredo sauce.

The incident happened on Interstate 55 in Memphis at about 5:00 p.m. on August 30, 2022. While details about the crash remain few and far between, local news channel Action News 5 reports that the truck hit a retaining wall and spilled a trailer's worth of Alfredo sauce in the northbound lanes. Footage published by television station WREG shows that the sauce was in jars. That means the accident didn't create a river of rich, creamy Alfredo, but it also means that the crew tasked with cleaning up the mess had to remove broken glass as well.
