Chicken Brigade Fails to Latch On to Its Prey
- Share via
WASHINGTON, Pa. — State police and highway workers chased about 1,000 chickens from a highway Thursday after crates containing the birds fell from a truck.
No attempt was made to capture the chickens. “Once they’re out, they’re gone,” State Police Cpl. Howard Sampson said.
The truck driver, Steven Lock of Ansonia, Ohio, was rounding a curve on Interstate 70 when a strap broke, dumping crates holding about half of his cargo of 8,000 chickens. Not all of the crates broke open, police said.
