KENLY, NC – A truck en route from Florida to Massachusetts, hauling nearly 40,000 pounds of strawberries, was jammed up when it careened off a stretch of Interstate 95 and rolled down a muddy embankment.

According to a report from local North Carolina news source WRAL.com, the crash happened around 4:00 a.m. when the driver was reportedly forced off the road by another vehicle. The truck was heavily damaged, though the driver was uninjured.

The North Carolina State Highway Patrol narrowed traffic to a single lane as crews worked to rescue the truck from the embankment. Thankfully, the tractor-trailer’s refrigeration unit remained intact, and the truck's roughly 38,000 pounds of berries were largely preserved.

No reports were forthcoming about whether the strawbs in question made their way to Massachusetts. AndNowUKnow will continue to report with more on fruit-rattling crashes and veggie upsets of all kinds.
