Poultry Problem on the Thruway

The Thruway ramp to the 190-North was closed for awhile yesterday after a truck carrying almost ten-thousand live chickens rolled over. The tractor-trailer was heading to Canada when the crates full of chickens hit the pavement. Crews worked for hours caging the poultry that was still alive. They were taken to the SPCA to be checked out before being allowed to continue their travels. Police say unsafe speed may have caused the accident.
