LITTLE ROCK (AP) -- A load of pig entrails sloshed out of a truck hauling the guts to a dog food plant, leaving the slop across a busy Little Rock intersection.

The Monday accident occurred when a tractor-trailer driven by Billy Day, 55, of Russellville made a quick stop and about 1,000 pounds of the innards gushed past a tarp that covered the trailer.

Fire officials say the slaughterhouse helped with the cleanup, and fire crews used hoses and bleach to wash away the remainder.

The 11:20 a.m. accident tied up the intersection of University Avenue and Col. Glenn Road in the south-central part of the city.

Police said Day was ticketed for having an unsecured load. Officials said they didn't know the name of the slaughterhouse.
