Orem police were dealing with a produce leak on University Parkway on Tuesday afternoon.

About 3,000 pounds of organic fruit and vegetables covered the road near 200 East and University Parkway, following a collision between a garbage collection truck and passenger vehicle, according to the Provo Daily Herald.

The westbound lanes were closed while crews cleaned the street, according to a tweet from Orem Police, but reopened before 4:40 p.m., according to a tweet from the Utah Department of Transportation.
