The incident, which occurred near the intersection of junctions 24 and 40, happened at around 7:30 a.m., Fox 17 reported. The driver thankfully escaped without injury, according to the outlet.
Part of I-24 was subsequently closed while the accident was cleared, blocking access to I-40. Traffic resumed at around 1:30 p.m., reported the Tennessean.
A representative for the Tennessee Department of Transportation was not immediately available to comment on the cause of the accident. However, a spokesperson for the department did share several photos from the scene, including some showing crews clearing out the “dry pasta” from the roadway.
