FHP: Tractor trailer overturned near St. Augustine, spilling truckload of potatoes on I-95

Traffic was at a standstill for nearly three hours. Talk about mashed potatoes.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. — Florida Highway Patrol has reported that one of the semi-trucks involved in an accident that shut down I-95 for hours was carrying a load of potatoes.

Hundreds of potatoes were littering the shoulder of the road near SR-206 as officials work to clean up the area.

From noon to 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, traffic was backed up for miles at a complete standstill.

A truck bed is overturned on the road and appears to have separated from its trailer.

St. Johns County Fire Rescue reported  two semi-trucks and an SUV were involved in the crash. 

A report from FHP says that no one was injured in this incident.
