It was bell on wheels on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway on Monday morning after a veggie truck overturned and jettisoned thousands of orange and yellow peppers on the road.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The truck toppled over a median around 7:14 a.m. — with its perishables peppering the roadway at Exit 30, which feeds into Brooklyn’s Flushing Avenue, photos of the scattered produce showed.<\/p>\n
Authorities blocked off a lane of eastbound traffic to clean up the mess — which was still there more than three hours after the initial spill, according to New York’s 511 traffic reporting system.<\/p>\n

There were no reported injuries associated with the crash, NBC4 said.<\/p>\n
