CUCUMBERS, TONS OF POT SPILL FROM OVERTURNED TRUCK IN ONTARIO

ONTARIO, Calif.- Cucumbers and tons of marijuana spilled from a produce 
truck that overturned as it exited a freeway, police said.

After the truck dumped its entire load of cucumber boxes on Euclid Avenue 
south of the Pomona freeway, Ontario police found the boxes concealed 
nearly 5,000 pounds of marijuana.

Police are searching for two men who fled from the truck, which was 
involved in a non-injury hit-and-run accident shortly before it overturned.

Ontario is about 40 miles east of downtown Los Angeles.
