An unidentified red liquid spread over the surface of a Utah highway after a semitruck overturned.

The rollover crash on 3300 South under Interstate 15 also left multiple roads near the highway blocked on Tuesday, May 31, according to the Utah Highway Patrol.

In a Tweet, the agency said the bright red substance was “non-hazardous,” but did not specify what it might be.

A video of the crash shared by Fox 13 shows the semitruck descending from a ramp and crossing into traffic before flipping over. No injuries were reported after the crash, Utah Highway Patrol said.

The crash took place in South Salt Lake, KUTV reported.
