Traffic on a California highway was clogged after a truck carrying toilet paper rolls spilled.

According to the California Highway Patrol, approximately three massive boxes of toilet paper fell from a Ford F-350 onto the southbound lanes of the 5 Freeway in Newhall, California on Monday morning.  

Authorities said that hundreds of rolls clogged the freeway for hours and blocked two lanes of traffic in the Los Angeles County city.
