A tractor trailer that overturned on the 605 freeway east of Los Angeles on Monday afternoon spilled nearly 42,000 gallons of honey, resulting in a sticky cleanup for Caltrans crews.

CHP reported that the truck carrying the honey overturned on the 605 near Valley Blvd. in the City of Industry, resulting in northbound lane closures.

The sticky situation also resulted in a SigAlert being issued. Caltrans crews are quickly cleaning up the accident, which left a massive pool of honey stretched across multiple lanes.

No word if Winnie-the-Pooh was on the scene assisting with the cleanup.
