“It was a very, very potent smell and it’s something… you never want to smell in your life.” –Constable Ed Sanchuck, Ontario Provincial Police
A truck rollover spilled an estimated 3 tons of animal carcasses across a Canadian roadway this week. “It was a mess,” Sanchuck said. “I could’ve swore I saw some chickens in there, some cows, sheep. You name it, it was in there.”
The driver sustained minor injuries and was taken to the hospital. The area fire department sprayed down the road in an attempt to clear remains that could attract more animals and cause further accidents.
