A big rig loaded with french fries crashed on the 5 Freeway in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles leaving all southbound lanes blocked by boxes of fries Thursday morning.

The crash was reported around 3:30 a.m. near Stadium Way.

Video showed the cab of the truck had somehow disconnected from the trailer.

Piles of french fry boxes were left all over the freeway prompting officials to issue a sigalert stopping all southbound traffic while crews worked to clear the mess.

Although a lane or two may open at some point, the sigalert would likely remain in place until at least 8 a.m., said KTLA’s Ginger Chan.

She also recommended commuters in that area leave home extra early because “even the alternates will certainly fill in. Those street alternates … those will be busy as well,” Ginger said.
