MANDAN, N.D. (AP) - The Highway Patrol is trying to track down whoever spilled maple syrup on Mandan-area roads.

The brown sticky substance prompted road closures for about three hours Thursday until investigators determined it wasn’t hazardous.

The Bismarck HazMat team determined the substance to be mostly maple syrup, possibly used for cattle feed.



State Health Department officials also responded to the scene, and state Transportation Department workers cleaned up the mess.
