BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — Human waste leaking from a tractor trailer on a Connecticut highway caused crashes including one involving two state police cruisers as vehicles spun out of control, authorities said.

No major injuries were reported in Monday night’s mayhem on Interstate 95 in Bridgeport. Troopers arrested the truck driver on several charges, alleging he knew there was a leak but kept driving.

The wrecks began shortly after 11 p.m. when the leaking waste caused extremely slick conditions in the northbound lanes, state police said.

Or is it “slipperier than snot on a doorknob”? (The Missouri Breaks)

Reason #27 to take the Merritt Parkway rather than I-95.

"State police charged the driver with reckless driving, reckless endangerment and failing to secure a load."

Well said.

If this had happened in downtown San Francisco, nobody would have noticed.

What’s the big deal about this? Is it not quite the same conditions on The Streets of San Francisco?

What gets me is no enviro puke is bitching about the Frisco streets laden with poop and lord knows what all getting flushed down the storm sewer system there. I would offer storm water goes directly to the Bay.

Vehicles crashed into other vehicles and concrete barriers. Another tractor trailer skidded into a parked state police cruiser, which then struck a second parked cruiser in the median.
