Ky. -- A crash that left a smelly mess closed much of Interstate 471 in northern Kentucky for several hours.
Police said a car lost control and hit a truck near the 1.1 mile marker just before 10 a.m., causing the truck to hit the median wall and overturn.
Officials said the truck spilled animal byproducts across the road. Video from Sky 5 showed a bulldozer and men with shovels attempting to scrape the material off to the side of the road as a pair of tow trucks helped set the truck upright.
A News 5 photographer said the stench in the air was enough to make people sick.
The photographer said most of what was on the road appeared to be hot dogs.
There have been no reports of injuries so far.
Traffic was getting by briefly on the right shoulder, but all three lanes were closed, as were all ramps to southbound I-471.
Just after 11 a.m., officials began detouring vehicles trying to cross on the I-471 bridge over the Ohio River from Cincinnati.
The road reopened shortly after 1 p.m.

I don't know why these accidents are happening. If they drived carefully i hope it might not happen. Most of the accidents are happening due to OVERSPEED. Life is in our hands.
