A truck full of 7,500 pounds of eels lost its load Thursday on U.S. 101, causing a five-car crash that covered cars with goo and sending sea creatures slithering across vehicles and the highway.
The fish were loaded in the back of a truck for transport to Korea, where they are a delicacy.
The driver was driving northbound on 101 when he came upon road construction that had stopped traffic, police say.He couldn't stop his truck in time, and containers of fish flew.
They sailed into the southbound lane, starting a chain reaction of collision.
