WESTON, Fla. -- Authorities are investigating a traffic crash in which a truck full of goats, pigs and chickens crashed into another vehicle, killing one person and several animals.The Florida Highway Patrol said the crash happened Monday night in Broward County, about 15 miles north of Weston, when a flatbed truck jackknifed and was struck by another vehicle. The driver of the second truck was killed, and dozens of animals thrown onto the road.
Some of the livestock escaped into the Everglades, and investigators fear they could become a road hazard.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
Oh Crap! Now PETA will demand restrictions on animal transport, or perhaps bubble-wrap. Gotta take good care of the critters right up to the point we eat ‘em.
Doubt it.
It would have been better if it was a load of pigs crashing into a Muslim mosque.
when a flatbed truck jackknifed
Huh?
How does that happen?
flatbed truck and trailer, may jackknife, but not a flatbed truck.
Unless of course the frame breaks and it crashes looking like a jackknife.
Don’t worry the Gators, Pythons, Anaconda’s and Boa’s will take care of them... Oh and let’s not forget the Florida panther as well.

Thank God. I was starting to worry at first ;)
I am SO glad i didn’t have any lessons over THERE yesterday. I can’t IMAGINE the traffic.
Yesterday was all Boca, all day.
Eee-yi, eee-yi, oh.
If they escaped into the everglades, most of them will become lunch...
