Arkansas highway Interstate 30, a cross-country route that was shut down in both directions for a time Wednesday, after an 18-wheeler was sliced open during an accident and spilled frozen pizzas across the road south of Little Rock, Ark. The interstate, was closed for several hours while crews cleaned up the mess.

If you had a hankering for frozen pizza on Wednesday and happened to be near Little Rock, Arkansas, you could have fulfilled your craving in a very unusual way—by heading to the Malbelvale Pike overpass on I-30. 

An 18-wheeler was headed down Interstate 30 when it ran into a bridge support and spilled out its entire contents onto the highway, right in front of the Arkansas Department of Transportation, about a mile east of I-430. The contents? A truckload of DiGiorno and Tombstone frozen pizzas. You can see the aftermath in the photo above.

Luckily, the bridge suffered only cosmetic damage. However, according to the AP, the road was closed for four hours so that workers could pick up all the foodstuffs. There were so many pizzas that they needed a tractor to help pick them all up.

No one was injured—at least, no people.

"But there's a lot of frozen pizzas laying out on the interstate right now," Arkansas Department of Transportation Department spokesman Danny Straessle said. "Lots of pizza fatalities."
