25 Miles Of Rasberry Syrup On Highway Leaves Sticky Slick
<snip>

BERLIN (Reuters) - A truck carrying raspberry syrup to a jam factory sprang a leak that left a 25-mile sticky trail on a highway, German police said on Tuesday.

"We think the truck lost around a ton of syrup," a police spokesman in the Bavarian town of Schwabach said.

Police said improper loading had caused a steel container to break. After stopping the truck and plugging the container, police sent the driver on his way to Aachen, 280 miles down the road.
