A large number of apples also scattered onto the roadway following the crash and the video footage shows a front loader construction vehicle being used to haul some of them away.
The collision resulted in a full closure of the westbound express lanes for several hours, however the mess was cleaned up and the highway was fully reopened at around 10:30 a.m.
No injuries were reported as a result of the collision.
