Gatorade spill on I-10 causes delays for holiday travelers

Emergency crews spent most of Friday cleaning up thousands of pounds of spilled Gatorade products on Interstate Ten Friday.

According to the California Highway Patrol a truck traveling Westbound overturned just after midnight on the Westbound lanes of I-10 between the Cactus City Rest Area and Chiriaco Summit.

The truck was reportedly carrying 44-thousand pounds of Gatorade products, many of which spilled on the roadway. Crews worked through the day to clean up boxes and boxes of the Gatorade products, many were donated to local churches and local food pantries in the area.

Cal Trans and C.H.P shut down one lane of traffic for several hours causing traffic delays for thousands of holiday travelers heading into the Coachella Valley.

The driver of the truck was reportedly not injured, and the crash remains under investigation.
