A truck crash set 7,500 pounds of slime eels loose on an Oregon highway, covering it in goo

If you thought your commute was bad Thursday, it probably wasn't as bad as what people dealt with while driving along a coastal highway in Depoe Bay, Oregon.

A truck carrying 7,500 pounds of hagfish - or slime eels - tipped over while trying to make a stop, tossing containers of slime-covered prehistoric fish all over Highway 101, according to The New York Times.

Only minor injuries were reported. 

The eels were being transported to South Korea, where they're sometimes considered a delicacy, The New York Times reported.
