A truck carrying eggs overturned on Interstate 80 near Truckee early Thursday morning, leading to a 10-hour cleanup operation but no lane closures. Two individuals were hospitalized with minor injuries. According to the California Highway Patrol, the flip was attributed to unsafe speed. While the exact number of eggs is unknown, the severity of the incident was somewhat lightened by the humorous remark on the increasing cost of eggs, suggesting the mess could be among the year's costliest.
The truck full of eggs flipped over near Donner Gate onto the center median of the highway, causing a significant traffic hazard but no lane closures.
Investigators believe the truck flipped because of unsafe speed, and both drivers received minor injuries, demonstrating the potential consequences of speeding.
