A major accident occurred on a highway in the Harz region of the German state of Saxony-Anhalt. A truck carrying 15 tons of chickens overturned, spilling its load and covering the road with thousands of birds. This caused a significant traffic jam, disrupting the flow of both trucks and cars. Emergency services were dispatched to the scene to bring the situation under control. The cause of the accident has not yet been determined. According to police, the truck driver was not injured. After authorities closed all access roads to the highway, veterinary services faced considerable difficulty in collecting the chickens from the roadway.
