BELLEVUE, Wash. -- Eastside commuters face daily stresses getting to and from Bellevue, but Tuesday morning's commute might have been the last straw.

A semi truck hauling hay had some sort of mishap that dumped several bales of hay across a busy freeway interchange, snarling traffic.

The spill happened around 4:30 a.m. on the I-90 off-ramp to I-405 North, blocking access to both the off-ramps from I-90 westbound for over an hour.

Workers could be seen trying to shove the hay over to the side of the roadway and aerial video showed a semi with still some bales strewn askew on its trailers.

There is no word yet what cause the hay to get loose.
