Semi-Truck Trailer Flips On US-127, Spills Human Waste

(Click the link for pictures and video)

LANSING, MI (WLNS) - US-127 was closed for several hours Friday after a semi-truck trailer flipped over, spilling human waste.

It happened around 5 a.m. Friday on US-127 at Trowbridge Road. Traffic was re-routed to I-496 while officials worked to cleanup the spill.

According to Lansing Township Police a tire blew on the trailer, causing it to flip on the curve just south of the Kalamazoo Street exit. An estimated 25,000 pounds of human waste was spilled on US-127.

Two cars and a motorcycle also crashed. Police say the drivers of those vehicles suffered minor injuries.

The Department of Environmental Quality took steps to insure there would not be an impact to the nearby river from any run-off.

US-127 re-opened around 1:20 p.m.

OTR:

Over The Road

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.

I lived a block away from from an egg farm in Phoenix. In the summer time the odor was beyond foul. I can't wrap my imagination around 25,000 lbs of human excrement all over the ground. Sucks for the guys who had to clean that up. Crappy situation.....

I feel bad for the dude on the motorcycle. If he had to lay it down... in the spill (dry heave), and stay covered in it until... (another one)... Oh man, I`m grossing myself out.
