Sticky goo makes mess of Thanksgiving holiday travel kickoff

About 42.5 million Americans will travel more than 50 miles from home over the long Thanksgiving weekend, the first significant increase in holiday travel this year as the nation tries to shrug off the dampening mood of a poor economy.In the East, the holiday rush got off to a bit of a messy start after motorists were snared and slowed by sticky goo from a leaky tanker truck that spilled driveway sealant along a 38-mile stretch of the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

The roadway was never completely shut down by the spill, Turnpike Commission spokesman Carl DeFebo said in a telephone interview, but traffic was slowed after the Tuesday night spill.

The worst hit section of the turnpike was near Newcastle, about 10 miles from the Ohio border. Hundreds of cars were damaged as the goo worked its way up from wheels to engines, radiators and other parts of the cars, DeFebo said.

"There are no good options with the volume of vehicles during a busy holiday season," he said, adding that the road had been largely cleaned up by Wednesday morning.

The article never mentions what the "Sticky Goo" was. Care to take a guess?

Mystery solved...it was driveway sealant. Back to work I guess.
