Drivers on a California highway faced a sticky situation early Friday morning.

A big rig carrying beehives was involved in an accident with another vehicle, causing 300 pounds of honey to be spilled on I-5 near Tracy, according to KCRA. The affected area is approximately an hour and a half outside of San Francisco.

No one was injured, according to KXTV.

Northbound lanes were shut down until the scene could be cleaned. Drivers in the area should keep their windows rolled up, as KCRA reported bees were scene flying around the area.
