Rescue officials in Poland are working quickly to clear one of the country’s highways. The roadway is covered with a sticky brown substance that is blocking cars from both directions. What is causing the mess? Milk chocolate.
The problems began early Wednesday, after a huge vehicle carrying many tons of liquid chocolate overturned near the western Polish town of Slupca. Chocolate spilled out and spread across six lanesof Poland’s A2 highway.
The liquid chocolate solidified as it cooled, causing even more difficulties. Bogdan Kowalski is with the fire brigade of Slupca and said that “the cooling chocolate is worse than snow.”
The driver of the vehicle was taken to a hospital with a broken arm. The accident happened in the morning when there was little traffic. Nobody else was harmed.
The sticky situation became a trending topic on social media. Some people offered to help the cleanup workers…. by eating the chocolate themselves.
Marlene Kukawa, a media officer for Slupca police, said that accidents are rare in this part of the A2 highway. And she added she was sure the area had never experienced something quite like a huge chocolate spill.
