California Highway Covered in Toilet Paper Causes Traffic Delays

Everyone could use more toilet paper. A California highway experienced brief traffic delays after a pickup truck spilled hundreds of rolls of toilet paper onto the roadway.

The California Highway Patrol said that three boxes of toilet paper fell from the back of the Ford F-350 on the Interstate 5 Freeway near Calgrove Boulevard in Santa Clarita, California. This incident took place at about 12:20 p.m. on March 11, 2024.

Images taken of the scene show traffic backed up as CHP officers attempt to throw rolls of toilet paper out of the way of the roadway. They landed on tossing them over the cement barrier separating the roadway from a construction site.

The CHP confirmed that the toilet paper mess was mostly cleared by 12:40 p.m. so traffic could get moving once again.
