In this photo provided by the Washington State Patrol, a load of salmon heads and guts lies along and next to Highway 101 north of Ilwaco, Wash., after a tractor-trailer spilled its load Friday. Washington State Patrol Trooper Russ Winger says the "soupy" mass -- salmon remains from a rendering plant headed to a cat food factory -- apparently started sloshing around on a curve and caused the trailer to tip over, closing the highway. The truck cab remained upright and the driver was not injured. An excavator was brought in to scoop up as much of the spill as possible, though much of it was practically on the shore of Willapa Bay near the Willapa Bay National Wildlife Refuge.
