3 car pile-up~chickens involved

A three car pileup brought traffic to a sudden stop on Carlisle Road.  At 6:34 the 911 call was made by a local resident.  After more than 20 minutes, West Manchester Township fire police arrived on scene.  Traffic was directed by another resident until more help arrived.  Approximately 30 minutes after the initial 911 call, police vehicle #3 of the West Manchester police force arrived.

Involved in the accident were a Tacoma truck hauling two large pens of chickens, a Dodge mini-van and a VW Jetta.  The Jetta’s airbags were both deployed.  Each vehicle had a driver and one passenger.  There were no injuries to the humans or chickens.

The driver of the Jetta stated, “I just looked down.  I was driving the speed limit.”  He declined to give his name.

The Tacoma and the Dodge were moved from the road and the Jetta was towed from the scene.

There were no injuries to the humans or the chickens.  The chickens maintained their silence.  There was nothing left to cluck about.
