Truck overturns, spills barbecue sauce at ramp onto Raleigh Beltline

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- A tractor-trailer carrying barbecue sauce overturned on a Wade Avenue ramp and caused a big traffic headache Tuesday morning around 6.

The ramp to get onto I-440 was blocked off while crews worked to clear the tractor-trailer from the road.

Drivers were forced to continue up Wade Avenue so they could turn around and get on the Beltline another way.

It's not known what caused the accident, but it took crews hours to clean up the mess and move the truck away. The ramp reopened shortly after noon.
