Police called to literal 'traffic jam' after 'juicy incident'

Police have been called to a literal "traffic jam" on a highway in British Columbia. The Mission RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) - which "proudly [polices] the District Municipality of Mission" and other areas in the region - couldn't resist having a laugh after "spilled blueberries" caused an issue for drivers. In a lighthearted Facebook post about the "traffic jam", the authorities said: "On the evening of June 29, a white Ford pickup – full of crates of freshly-picked blueberries – pulled up to the intersection of Lougheed Highway and Wren Street. "Moments later it pulled away, but…not all of the blueberries went with it. "Some crates went crashing down onto the roadway, and thousands of blueberries spilled out onto Lougheed Highway, creating a sticky mess for vehicles that drove over the fruit. "Mission RCMP were called to the juicy incident, and used a shovel to clear the mess from the roadway." They confirmed that the driver of the truck "received a ticket for having an insecure load", but the police were still able to see the funny side. They continued: "And just as some people might turn lemons into lemonade, Mission RCMP would love to put an equally positive spin on things, as losing all those fresh blueberries was such a shame – even the ones squish-squashed by passing vehicles. "Perhaps Mission RCMP could team up with the Mission Farmer's Market in the future, to feature some new offerings such as: Jack-Knife Jelly, Pothole Preserves, and the ever-popular…Traffic Jam!"

Prime Video Hit Comedy Series ‘Traffic Jam' Shoots Season 2 for Onza (EXCLUSIVE)

Madrid-based Onza, one of Spain's top indie production-distribution houses, has kicked off filming on Season 2 of hit gridlock comedy series 'Traffic Jam' ('Atasco), which is set to premiere on Prime Video Spain. It has also shared on-set photos in exclusivity with Variety. More from Variety Indian Crime Thriller 'Suzhal - The Vortex' Sets Season 2 Return on Prime Video (EXCLUSIVE) 'Wolf Man' Releases on Digital: Here's How to Watch the Horror Movie Online 'Anora' Releases on Digital Video Streaming, Sets Criterion Collection 4K Release Date Launched May 24 on Prime Video Spain, the first season of the series hit No. 1 on the platform the day after, with an audience warming to the unexpected, comical and engaging stories that unfold in a huge traffic jam on the outskirts of Madrid. Written and directed by Rodrigo Sopeña ('La hora de José Mota,' 'Club Houdini,' 'Fermat's Room'), as the series' Season 1, the six new episodes continue the producers' bet on a renowned Spanish star cast, this time featuring Silvia Abril ('Mamen Mayo,' 'Father There is Only One 4'), Carlos Sobera ('Little Coincidences'), Adriana Torrebejano ('Muertos, S.L.'), Carlos Areces ('The Last Circus'), Luis Zahera ('As Bestas,' 'El Reino') and singer-actress Edurne. Some actors from Season 1 will reprise their roles in Season 2, the producers said. Season 1's stellar cast featured prominent local figures such as Antonio Resines ('Mikaela,' 'Los Serrano'), Ana Wagener ('El Reino,' 'Biutiful'), Iván Masagué ('Pan's Labyrinth,' 'The Platform'), José Mota ('La Hora de José Mota'), María León ('The Sleeping Voice') and Edu Soto ('Mortadelo and Filemon: Mission – Save the Planet '). The series is based on an everyday experience affecting people all over the world but exploring a universe packed with personal conflict and complex relationships. ''Traffic Jam' is one of the most innovative concepts in Spanish fiction in recent years,' says Gonzalo Sagardía, CEO of Onza and an executive producer on the series. 'Its content design and production model allow for an ensemble cast that would be unimaginable in other productions. The originality of its scripts guarantees viewers a fun-filled experience.' Following up the series' universal storyline, Season 2 takes the audience back to a massive gridlock — this time caused by a truck losing its cargo on the highway. The incident disrupts the lives of thousands of citizens: a rookie reporter, a criminal feeling sympathy for an abandoned dog, a bizarre ride-share trip, inmates escaping from prison, a celebrity fleeing paparazzi…. 'Traffic Jam' is produced by Onza in collaboration with Prime Video and Publicis Rebellion, with José María Irisarri, Sagardía, Santiago de la Rica and Rodrigo Sopeña serving as executive producers. The new season is set to premiere this year exclusively on Prime Video Spain.
