Human waste leaks from truck onto Connecticut highway, causes multiple wrecks

It’s not snow season yet, but a road in Connecticut was turned into a slick, crash-prone surface this past Monday thanks to a tractor-trailer leaking human waste all over the highway. The Connecticut Post reports that the waste was responsible for multiple crashes along Interstate 95 in Connecticut and closed the highway down for about three hours.

The driver of the Mack truck, 34-year-old Shaky Joseph, was arrested and charged with reckless driving, unsecured load and 12 counts of first-degree reckless endangerment, according to state police. The Connecticut Post also reports that police said the driver was aware that his cargo was leaking, but continued to drive anyway.
