Spilled Cookies Close Highway

A truck trailer overturned and spilled 2,140 boxes of cookies onto California 99 early today. The truck driver was uninjured when his trailer fishtailed and flipped at high speed, splattering cookies over a long stretch of the roadway near Pixley in southern Tulare County. Northbound traffic was detoured onto county roads around the wreck 125 miles north of Los Angeles for almost six hours after the 3:30 a.m. accident.
