15km of Offal Road

People traveling down State Highway 2, between Woodville and Dannevirke, in New Zealand this morning were in for an offal surprise. 15km of the highway was covered in blood, discarded pieces of butchered animals, and fat, 30 cm deep in spots, after the tailgate of a truck carrying the mess opened. A spokesman for the New Zealand Transport Agency said, "It's not really a good day for my boys. Offal spills have a huge amount of fat in them and that poses a risk to the public so we closed the road," adding that the scene was, "pretty bloody awful."

The contractors intended to pick up the worst bits with loaders, use a biodegradable detergent and put a crusher dust (similar to sand) on top of it. It could be "a bit ripe" for the next few days as there was likely to be some residue.

Just a bit? You think?
