Traffic on a New Hampshire highway got snarled for hours yesterday because of a freak accident involving a 220-gallon maple-syrup leak. Authorities spent several hours fruitlessly applying coats of sand and “something like kitty litter” to try to soak up the viscous glop, but the local fire chief says they had “a hard time” absorbing it because it was just like an oil spill, only way more delicious.
