Smashed avo on highway after truck catches fire
More than 10,000 kilos of avocados have spilled onto a Texas highway after a truck caught fire.
Video shows the mess created by the 18-wheeler in Forreston.
The Texas Department of Public Safety told ABC News the cause of the incident remains unclear, but initial investigations suggest it was a mechanical issue.
No one was injured in the incident, which caused significant traffic delays in the surrounding areas.
The dropped load of avocado was worth about (AU) $64,000, Fox News reports.
Many Aussies would likely cringe at the sight of the wasted avo, with the average consumption 4kg per person per year.
More than 75,000 tonnes of the popular fruit are predicted to be produced in 2017-2018.
