Huge 'meat spill' blocks traffic after animal 'entrails' shower busy roadway

MELBOURNE, Australia (TND) — An awful offal overflow obstructed Australians.

Or, shedding alliteration, a truck spilled a bunch of meat on the M80 highway near an exit ramp in Melbourne, Australia on Thursday, which blocked traffic and led to lane closures.

Reportedly, a truck carrying the meat made an unexpected sudden stop, spilling its guts and turning a section of an expressway into what looked like a slaughterhouse floor.

Andrew Crook, a spokesperson for the Victorian Department of Transport, told the publication Broadsheet the sudden stop caused the entrails, which were sitting in an open-top trailer behind a semi-truck, to “pass over the cabin in a meaty wave”.

"Crook said at the time the high heat temperatures would make the meat "ripe", according to Broadsheet, adding there's a strange trend of meat spills happening too often on warm days."

“Whenever there’s an offal spill, it always seems to be warm — I wouldn’t want to be out there cleaning it up," Crook reportedly said."

"A skid-steer loader, often called a "bobcat", was seen scooping the meat off the pavement. The road later reopened after much of the spill was removed from the highway."
