A semi-truck accident in Delaware County, Ohio, leads to a large hot-sauce spill on a highway during a period of extreme heat. Temperatures in the area reach roughly 100 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit, according to reporting on the day of the incident.

They ultimately find that the spill comes from a leaking semi-truck carrying about 40,000 pounds of Frank’s hot sauce. The spilled product spreads across the roadway, prompting an emergency response focused on locating the leak and addressing the hazard created by the roadway contamination.
