AN INTRIGUING incident
involving bull semen caused
major traffic disruption on an
interstate highway near Nashville
in the US yesterday.
The sticky situation ensued after
a Greyhound bus lost its load of
frozen semen, which was destined
for a breeder in Texas.
Emergency services were called
to mop things up, and fortunately
found that none of the canisters
had actually broken - although
some were emitting a “foul smell”.
Highway workers took the
incident in their stride, saying “it
was no different to us than if a
mattress fell off a truck”.
A MAN has fortunately escaped
serious injury after attempting to
stop his runaway vehicle
“Flintstones-style” using his feet.
The pickup truck apparently had
faulty brakes, but after they failed
the man continued to drive,
slowing as required by “sticking
his feet outside” to stop it,
according to a police report.
Some witnesses claimed the
truck reached speeds of up to
70km/h and although the man
was able to stop it a couple of
times he ended up hitting at least
four other cars.
“This guy’s no rocket scientist,”
said a police spokesman.
“He said he was going to fix the
brakes when he got home”.
