A truck turned a Japanese highway into a sandwich when it rammed another truck and spread a slick of mayonnaise on the Tomei Expressway.

About half of the more than 900 boxes on the truck spilled onto the highway Tuesday evening, leaving damage and a 300-foot mayonnaise slick at Kikugawa, Shizuoka, that took five hours to clean up, Mainichi Shimbun reported.

The truck collided with another truck that was stopped in one lane of the Tomei Expressway with engine trouble, authorities said. Both drivers suffered head and foot injuries.
