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.
