10 tons of kitty litter falls on LA highway

California's supply of cat litter fell by 10 tons during the weekend when a tractor trailer flipped and lost its load on Interstate 5.

A California Highway Patrol spokesman said the truck overturned about 6 a.m. Saturday close to an off-ramp from the Interstate 5 Golden State Freeway, the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday.

There were no injuries in the wreck, although the gray clay splashed over two lanes, which were closed for four hours as state transportation workers labored to clear the scene.

No rainfall was reported by the National Weather Service for the Los Angeles area at the time, and no clumping was reported at the crash site. Article here.
