Chopper 880 was over the scene, where the tractor-trailer could be seen laying on its right side with loads of what appeared to be yellow and orange bell peppers spilled out all over the Exit 30 ramp.
The wreck also made a mess of traffic, leaving just the left lane open to traffic.
"The roof split open, spilled the contents there, so the only thing getting by is that far left lane," traffic reporter Tom Kaminski said.
