The Cosumnes Fire Department said the crash Friday morning on southbound Interstate 5 in Elk Grove resulted in the vehicle’s load of tomatoes being spilled across the roadway.
No injuries were reported from the incident.
The fire department said the California Highway Patrol and Caltrans were leading clean-up efforts.
