Portion of Rocky Ridge Road in Trigg Co. closed due to frozen chicken spill

A portion of Rocky Ridge Road in Trigg County was blocked for multiple hours Saturday, after a semi-truck roll over accident that spilled frozen chickens into the roadway.

According to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Trigg County Emergency Management reported KY 276 was blocked by an overturned tractor-trailer near the 13.5 mile marker near the Industrial Drive intersection, about a mile north of U.S. 68. The overturned semi was loaded with frozen chickens which have spilled along the roadway. The truck was using KY 276 as a detour route due to the earlier crash that blocked the westbound lanes of I-24 at the 56 mile marker due to a vehicle fire.

The closure lasted about eight hours as crews worked to clean up the spill.
