Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory isn’t the only place to find a river of chocolate!
Parts of Interstate 40 near Flagstaff, Arizona, were covered in chocolate after a tanker trailer carrying more than 40,000 pounds of the liquid overturned Monday morning. According to the Arizona Department of Public Safety, the accident happened around 9 a.m.
Thousands of gallons of chocolate spilled onto the roadway, and cleanup crews had to empty out the remaining contents from the trailer so they could lift it upright and tow it with a heavy-duty tow truck.
