ELBERFELD, Ind. (AP) -- A tractor-trailer carrying 35 tons of pizza dough overturned in southwestern Indiana, dumping a gooey mess onto the highway that stopped traffic for hours.

The truck was bound for a Henderson, Ky., milling company Sunday when the driver lost control of the rig on an off-ramp at Interstate 164 and Indiana 57 near the border of Gibson and Warrick counties. The driver was uninjured.

Firefighters and an environmental services company used a backhoe to clean up the mess.
