NEWPORT, Tenn. (AP) — A truck load of boxes filled with frozen chicken nuggets spilled in a Tennessee town, covering an intersection in mounds of nuggets, following an accident involving a train and a tractor-trailer.
Newport resident Linda Witson described the scene Friday as “chicken nuggets for blocks,” WVLT-TV reported.
The Cocke County Emergency Management Agency says the refrigerated trailer was carrying 39,000 pounds of Tyson Chicken Nuggets when the collision occurred.
Officials say no injuries were reported. The intersection was shut down for several hours as crews cleaned up the mess.
According to WVLT-TV, the chicken nuggets were condemned by the Department of Agriculture.
