Chicken Feed Spills Onto Polk Highway

DAVENPORT, FL -- If you happened to be traveling along State Road 33 early Monday morning and thought you saw snow piled up on the side of the road, you're not going crazy.

But it wasn't snow either.

Sgt. Steve Gaskins of Florida Highway Patrol reported that a Mack truck hauling 47,000 pounds of chicken feed overturned near a roundabout with Deen Still Road.

The driver, identified as 29-year-old Anthony Wayne McCellan of Davenport, was unable to negotiate the roundabout as he was driving south on State Road 33, according to Florida Highway Patrol. The incident happened at 3:13 a.m.

McCellan was not injured but traffic was disrupted for nearly six hours as thousands of pounds of chicken feed spilled onto the highway, Gaskins told Patch.
