A major collision on Highway 401 in Milton has caused a chaotic scene, with live chickens scattered across the roadway.
According to police, the collision occurred in the eastbound lanes of the highway near James Snow Parkway. The exact cause of the collision is still under investigation.
As a result of the crash, several crates containing live chickens were thrown from a transport truck onto the highway. The chickens were seen running loose on the road, causing a significant traffic delay.
Emergency crews and animal control officers were quickly dispatched to the scene to contain the situation and assist with the cleanup. The highway was temporarily closed in both directions as crews worked to clear the debris and capture the chickens.
Fortunately, no human injuries were reported in the collision. However, it is unclear at this time if any of the chickens were harmed.
Drivers are advised to avoid the area and seek alternate routes as the cleanup and investigation continue. The highway is expected to fully reopen within the next few hours.
This is a developing story and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
