Day after frying fat, road in Kortemark covered with potatoes: "Sludge caused slipperiness"

In Koekelare, the fire department had to clean up a 2-kilometer stretch of road covered in potatoes after a large load was lost. The identity of the person responsible remains unknown. This incident follows a previous cleanup of spilled frying oil in the area. The potatoes created a slippery mess on the road, posing a danger to vehicles. Firefighters worked for several hours to clear the road using brooms and a spraying machine. The situation was reminiscent of a previous incident where a fryer spilled 35 liters of oil, which was also hazardous. The fire department humorously noted they might now expect a load of mayonnaise to complete the scenario.
