Traffic in downtown Mount Pleasant has been disrupted following a grease spill on the east side of the town square.
Witnesses say the spill happened near the intersection of Main and Washington streets when a dumpster fell from a sanitation truck, spilling grease across the roadway.
The slick mess has forced crews to block off part of the intersection while cleanup work takes place.
City workers are currently on scene working quickly to remove the grease and make the roadway safe for drivers. The slippery conditions created a potential hazard for both vehicles and pedestrians.
Motorists traveling through the downtown area are being asked to use caution and expect delays until the cleanup is complete and the road can be reopened to traffic.
