400 Pounds Of Pig Intestines Spill Onto Interstate

<snip>

MILWAUKEE -- Motorists headed north out of Milwaukee on Interstate 43 Thursday evening ran into a pig problem. A load of more than 400 pounds of pig intestines had fallen on the freeway.

The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department said a trucker was heading from Mount Morris, Illinois to Green Bay when a tarp over the load apparently came loose and the pig entrails fell out. The driver didn't realize the problem until authorities caught up with him nearly an hour later.

A hazardous materials team was called in to help clean up the mess, which kept two traffic lanes closed for nearly four hours. A salt-and-oil drying combination was used for the job.
