A tow truck crew collected some plastic-wrapped packets of fish and coolers before getting the truck off the freeway shoulder.
Traffic was slow across all lanes eastbound, and backed up west around the bend beyond the 6th Stree onramp.
The man and woman, each in their mid-40s, were transported to a local hospital for treatment, City of Redlands spokesman Carl Baker said.
