MEMPHIS, Tenn. — An 18-wheeler crashed into a wall on the interstate, spilling Alfredo sauce and shutting down part of I-55 in the process Tuesday afternoon, according to Memphis Police.

The crash was reported at I-55 and McLemore around 4:44 p.m., according to the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT).
