ACCOMAC, Va. — A waste truck leaked poultry fat along 20 miles of roadway Tuesday, causing at least four crashes and making a stinky mess. State Police said a truck hauling material from a Perdue Farms plant left a valve open, and it leaked to the Maryland state line.
At least four crashes and several spinouts were reported Tuesday morning on northbound U.S. 13, said Sgt. Joe Bunting. One injured person was taken to a hospital, he said.
Bunting said crews were sanding the road surface to help drivers get traction. But the gunk was sticking to tires and spreading onto secondary roads. He added the grease caused a “really funky” odor.
Julie DeYoung, a spokeswoman for Perdue Farms, said the company is working to clean up the spill.
