Deputies and Georgia State Patrol troopers chased the west on I-20 through McDuffie and Taliferro counties. The driver dumped the cement near mile marker 175 in McDuffie County.
At one point a trooper riding in another trooper’s patrol car was able to shoot into the truck’s radiator, which disabled the truck, WJBF reports.
All lanes of the highway were shut down while crews worked to clean up the concrete. The road has since reopened.
According to WJBF, the driver was taken into custody. That person’s name has not been released and it’s unclear what charges were filed against him or her.
