At least 500 pounds of marijuana flooded a Missouri highway after a crash on Wednesday.
Missouri State Highway Patrol troopers responded to the incident and reported seeing bags filled with the drug covering the road, authorities said.
A picture released by the patrol showed a pile of marijuana in the evidence room, and the troopers said multiple patrol cars were needed to remove the spilled drugs from the highway.

The spill occurred after a semitruck swerved out of the way of a prior crash, causing a pickup truck to lose control and strike the rear of the semitruck, troopers told KOMU.
David Mora, the driver of the pickup, and his passenger are both facing charges related to drug trafficking, police said.
The entirety of the marijuana is believed to have come from the pickup, according to a report.
“You don’t see this everyday, but it is 4/20,” Missouri State Highway Patrol tweeted.
