It took about four hours to clean up the mess caused by an overturned 18-wheeler in Clayton Friday morning. The truck was carrying thousands of mangos from Texas to Georgia. The fruit spilled out the roof of the truck after it flipped. The driver, Omar Gonzalez, said he was trying to avoid a dog in the road.
