WALKER, Mich. — The Walker Police Department said a portion of a road in Standale looked like a scene straight out of the movie Cars after a truck spilled its load.

A truck carrying wet soil from a pond dredging had an issue and spilled its load onto the travel lanes between Cummings and Manzana Court, police said. The truck did not stop after the spill.

Walker Police were able to find the truck's company using cameras from local businesses, and enforcement action was taken against them.

The name of the company is not being released.

Delays were expected Tuesday as road crews worked to clean up the mess.

UPDATE FROM WALKER PD:
Some have commented on the original post that the spilled load was hazardous waste, but that is not the case. There is no reason to be alarmed if you live along the spill route.
