TUCSON, Ariz. - Marana police and the Arizona Department of Transportation worked to clean up a human waste spill that clogged traffic on the Ina Road overpass Monday.
According to Sgt. Jeff Pridgett, all but one westbound lane of Ina Road was closed, while eastbound Ianes remained open.
The spill was caused by a truck's mechanical failure.
The westbound I-10 offramp has been sanitized and has reopened
