Mont. crash leaves frozen chickens across the road

[July 22, 2010]  GREAT FALLS, Mont. (AP) -- A truck rollover left about 200 frozen chickens strewn across the road in Montana.

The Montana Highway Patrol says the driver of a pickup truck lost control on U.S. Highway 89 on Tuesday morning and the truck rolled across all four lanes of traffic, spilling a load of chickens.

Firefighters used a hose and shovels to push the chickens off the road in order to get traffic moving again.

Troopers say the driver was treated at a Great Falls hospital and released. He told responders his truck had brake problems, but the patrol says the cause of the crash is still under investigation.
