Toilet paper clogs traffic on SoCal freeway

It was a mess on the 5 freeway after three boxes of toilet paper fell from a vehicle.

Images from SkyFOX showed traffic backed up, but luckily vehicles kept moving as they merged into the two open lanes. 

SUGGESTED:

Officers could seen grabbing the toilet paper and throwing it onto the shoulder of the freeway as they tried to clean up. The majority of the toilet paper was removed from the freeway around 12:40 p.m.

It's unclear how the vehicle managed to spill the boxes of paper.
