Making matters worse, the chocolate hardened as the temperature cooled. Bogdan Kowalski, one of Slupca’s fire brigade members, said, “The cooling chocolate is worse than snow.”

Authorities said it would take hours to clean the candy away, with firefighters shooting streams of hot water to help melt the chocolate. Footage of a bulldozer pushing the sugary substance graced Twitter courtesy of a local news station.

It’s unknown where exactly the truck was heading to, though it belongs to a company situated in south Poland. The driver was taken to a hospital and treated for a broken arm. No one else was injured.
