CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Dozens of gallons of white, sticky paint were accidentally dumped along a busy south Charlotte road during morning rush hour Thursday.

The spill happened around 9 a.m. on Park Road near Sharon Road West.

The paint fell from a delivery truck and caused traffic headaches for hours as motorists tried to avoid the spill.

All lanes of Park Road were reopened before noon.

Traffic Team 9’s Mark Taylor was in Chopper 9 Skyzoom and flew above the scene -- watch the video below.
