cargo spill
Scattered shipped goods
A cargo spill is the accidental release of goods being transported, typically from a ship or truck.
Maritime cargo spills make news when shipping containers fall overboard, scattering their contents—rubber ducks, sneakers, Legos—across ocean currents.
On highways, cargo spills create hazards and sometimes surreal scenes: Traffic stopped for a cargo spill of live chickens.
