Poop leaking from truck leads to crashes in Connecticut

A tractor-trailer leaking human excrement is blamed for causing Monday night mayhem on Connecticut’s I-95 passing through Bridgeport.

Casualties of the northbound trail of waste included a pair of state trooper vehicles struck by automobiles skidding out of control after hitting slick spots after 11 p.m. One of those cruisers was struck by another tractor-trailer. Neither police vehicle was occupied as their drivers were tending to the mess at hand.

Meanwhile, a motorcyclist was hospitalized with minor injuries when fecal matter caused that driver to lose traction. Law enforcement officers said 10 vehicles were impacted by a sea of waste that took several hours to wipe up.

Witnesses told police the leaking vehicle appeared to belong to Southbury, Conn. company H.I. Stone & Son. The company was contacted by law enforcement and instructed its driver to meet with police.

That trucker was then arrested on charges of reckless driving and failure to secure a load. Cops allege the driver knew of his seepage issue but kept driving, according to the Associated Press.

“We transport over 50 loads per day of liquefied products between NY, RI, CT and MA,” the company’s website claims.

The driver posted $25,000 bail.
