Hundreds of Amazon packages scattered across busy road in Plymouth Meeting

Hundereds of Amazon orders were left scattered along a busy roadway in Montgomery County late Wednesday night.

A tractor-trailer allegedly dropped about 30 carts filled with hundreds of Amazon packages, leaving a large mess along West Germantown Pike, a witness told CBS News Philadelphia.

The incident happened just before midnight, about a half-mile from Plymouth Meeting Mall.

The mess blocked traffic for a while before police moved them to the side of the road.

There is an Amazon facility located about two miles from where the spill occurred.

It remains unclear what caused the packages to spill or where they came from.
