A crash that left boxes of french fries scattered across the road shuttered a major California highway on Thursday.

California Highway Patrol -- an organization made world-famous by the 1970s TV series "CHiPs" -- closed the southbound I5 freeway in downtown Los Angeles after the early morning smash.

Reports said several vehicles had been involved in the collision, including a large truck carrying frozen fries.

Footage from the scene showed boxes of fries -- known as chips in parts of the English-speaking world -- scattered over the road surface.

"CHiPs," which ran for six seasons from 1977, followed the lives and adventures of two motorcycle officers from California Highway Patrol.

It starred Erik Estrada as Ponch and Larry Wilcox as Jon.
