A truck rollover shut down an Ontario highway this week, after hundreds of pounds of celery spilled across the southbound lanes.
Yes, you read that correctly, celery.
On Tuesday, a transport truck flipped onto its side as they took the ramp southbound onto Highway 400 from Highway 9 eastbound near King Township. As a result, celery might just become a hot commodity at your local grocery store.
So much celery! #AuroraOPP working hard to keep motorists safe Hwy 400 S/B. Please be patient. #Celery https://t.co/TXRNxiR85z pic.twitter.com/ygAYQCPJtQ

Clean-up trucks were brought in to help clear the road, and all spilled celery was cleared and the lanes were able to reopen.
Thankfully, there were no injuries to report, but the incident did cause quite a stir on social media. Celery enthusiasts and comedians alike couldn't resist cracking jokes and even suggesting creative pairings for the veggie extravaganza.

Who knew a simple salad staple could cause such a stir?
