Sacks of weed were left strewn across a road in Missouri, United States, after the driver transporting the haul was involved in a car accident.
Some 500 pounds of cannabis spilled out on the interstate in Callaway County, leading to drug trafficking charges for the two men involved, the New York Post reported.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol (MHSP) shared images from the bizarre scene on Wednesday and tweeted: “You don’t see this everyday, but it is 4/20."
Many sacks of weed were left spread across the scene of the crash, with police estimating it to have weighed a quarter of a tonne.
“After it was all collected at the crash scene, it took more than one patrol car to transport it to the evidence room,” MSHP added in a follow-up tweet. Another photo showed the weed packed into plastic bags and piled up.
The highway patrol had responded to an accident involving a pick-up truck carrying two men, a woman and a large amount of marijuana, according to local media reports.
There were no serious injuries in the crash but two men from Mexico, aged 32 and 34, were arrested on felony first-degree drug trafficking charges, MSHP said. One of the men was also charged with reckless driving.
The men could face anything between 10 and 30 years behind bars, as well as some potentially hefty fines if found guilty.
It comes as a bride and her caterer were arrested after allegedly lacing food on the wedding menu with weed, sending some guests to hospital.
Bride Danya Shea Glenny Svoboda, 42, and wedding caterer Jocelyn Montrinice Bryant, 31, have been charged with delivering marijuana, tampering with guests’ food and misdemeanour culpable negligence.
Both women turned themselves into the Seminole County Sheriff’s Department in Florida and were released, with an arraignment due on June 7.
The wedding, which was held at The Springs Clubhouse in Longwood, Florida, on February 19, had 50 guests in attendance.
However the party switched gears when several unknowing guests tucked into marijuana-infused chocolate-covered strawberries, pudding ‘shot’ desserts and lasagne.
When the groom, Andrew Svoboda, was asked whether his wedding guests had known what was in their food, he replied “no” after staring at Deputy Donald Schwaezman blankly for a few moments, according to Mrs Svoboda’s arrest warrant.
Tests were completed on silverware, bowls, several glasses, a plate and even some of the lasagne.
