WILLIAMSPORT, MD - Maryland commuters were found going bananas on the way to work this past week, after a truck carrying a load of the sunny yellow produce item had overturned. 

According to a report from the York Daily Record, officials were forced to close the ramp from U.S. 11 to Interstate 81 north in Maryland’s southern Washington County due to the slippery contents of the spill. The banana tractor trailer overturned around 2:50 a.m., remaining closed for nearly 7 hours as workers sought to return the bananas back to their rightful and uprighted home. 

Maryland State Police - Hagerstown, Maryland State Highway Administration, and the Washington County Fire Police were all called to the scene to assist with traffic control.

Luckily, the banana truck captain remained mostly unscathed, the source reports, but no word was given on whether or not the bananas survived to reach their destiny as a smoothie or banana split.
