No major injuries have been reported, so at least there’s that.
The Associated Press reports that a tractor-trailer in Connecticut spilled “human waste” onto Interstate 95. Enough “human waste” that cars driving behind the truck began to spin out and crash. One motorcyclist crashed and fell and was sent to the hospital with minor injuries. A number of other vehicles reportedly hit other vehicles, as well as hit concrete barriers.
Also, a different tractor-trailer lost control and slid into a police car that then hit a second police car. But both cars were empty because the officers were out in the muck, trying to help with the other. In total, police say 10 vehicles crashed from the poop spill.
Witnesses gave the police the name of the company that owned the poop truck, which helped them track down the driver. Police say they believe he knew about the leak but didn’t stop driving. They have charged him with “reckless driving, reckless endangerment, and failing to secure a load.”endangerment, and failing to secure a load.”
