Wick-ed crash: Semi overturns on highway, dumping candles

LORDSBURG, N.M. >> A semi-truck has overturned on Interstate 10 in southern New Mexico, dumping candles all over the highway.

The Las Cruces Sun-News reports investigators say the truck on Monday rolled then flipped onto its side while ditching wax and wicks all over the eastbound interstate.

New Mexico State Police say the cause of the crash is still under investigation. No injuries were reported.

Police spokesman Dusty Francisco says east and westbound lanes of Interstate 10 near the New Mexico and Arizona border were blocked for several hours.
