<p>Highway 101 in Oregon hosted a scene that looked straight from a science fiction movie after a truck carrying slime-producing, eel-like hagfish was involved in a collision on July 13.</p><p>Depoe Bay Fire District shared images and video from the scene, with the crash coating some vehicles in slime, and leaving the road teeming with 7,500 pounds of hagfish.</p><p>“Highway 101 at milepost 131 between Otter Rock and Depoe Bay got slimed,” a Depoe Bay Fire District Facebook post reads, adding there were “no injuries, fortunately.”</p><p>The hagfish were headed for South Korea with local media</a> reporting that driver Salvatore Tragale couldn’t stop his truck in time when he came to roadworks. This led to a number of containers full of hagfish flying off the vehicle and spewing across the road and a number of vehicles.</p><p>Local police have said that charges are pending for Tragale.
