Part of the highway in Tennessee was blocked after the fall of the truck, which was carrying tens of thousands of pounds of candy M&M’s.
The accident happened on December 13 at 5:30 in the morning. The driver tried to avoid collision and sharply turned, but the truck swerved into a ditch, hit a concrete wall near the exit and fell on its side. When you drop the car hit another truck, which was parked at the exit.

The truck driver was hospitalized with injuries that are not life-threatening.
The accident left a small footprint: during the fall from the truck partially leaked chocolate.
The Department of transportation of Tennessee said that the Congress will be closed for a few hours and will be opened on the evening of the same day. By words a press-the Secretary of the Department of police of Knoxville, no charges have been laid.
