Ain't This Slick?

This story is worthy of being in a Blues Brothers movie. Or maybe a sequel to Planes, Trains & Automobiles.

We have huge chicken farms on the eastern shore, and somebody has got to truck away the waste from the processing plants.

Life along some Eastern Shore communities returned to normal today after a 20-mile stretch of U.S. 13 was stained with liquid chicken fat that leaked from a truck leaving a processing plant Tuesday.

The leak led to four accidents, including one with an injury, and several instances of vehicles sliding over the fat.

Crews from the Virginia Department of Transportation planned today to conclude a cleanup effort that included spreading tons of sand and some salt, and then sweeping it up with mechanical brooms.
