Thousands of beer cans littered a major Georgia highway after a semi-truck overturned overnight, multiple news outlets reported.

The accident happened at about 1 a.m. Thursday, March 27, on the Interstate 285 southbound exit ramp and the Interstate 20 entry ramp in DeKalb County, WAGA and WXIA reported, citing officials.

Photos and video from the scene show crushed Busch Ice beer cans and torn boxes strewn across a grassy area on the side of the highway. It’s not clear if anyone was injured.

The truck was turned right side up and moved just after 3 a.m., according to WANF.

It’s not clear what caused the accident and if the mess had been cleared from the side of the interstate as of Thursday afternoon, local outlets reported.

McClatchy News reached out to the Georgia Department of Transportation for more information March 27 and was awaiting a response.
