Mine got dumped in a broccoli field. 
A big rig hauling 30,000 pounds of squid spilled its load about 3 a.m. Tuesday after the driver lost control south of Soledad.
The driver, a 71-year-old Oxnard man, was uninjured in the crash and no other vehicles were involved, the California Highway Patrol said.
The truck was traveling south on Highway 101, south of Los Coches Road, when the driver allowed the truck and trailer to go off the road, overturning on a dirt frontage road adjacent to the highway, CHP officers said.
As the truck and trailer flipped, the load of squid spilled onto the frontage road and into a broccoli field.
